Learn from H.E. Achille Bassilekin III, Minister of SME, Social Economy, and Handicrafts, about SME development in Cameroon. 
 

“We have been developing some tours to ensure that we facilitate the financial inclusion of small businesses in my country. In that vein the Head of State decided the establishment of an SME bank...which is the financial institution that provides and facilitates access to loan for those who can mature their business plan... as well as a loan guarantee to facilitate the financial inclusion of young entrepreneurs.”

“PME Wednesday” by Afriland First Bank

On Wednesday September 19, 2019, our member Afriland First Bank organized a meeting between SMEs and SMIs. This was the second edition of this event which brought together around 100 Cameroonian companies. The theme of the event was “From factory to market: solutions to the challenges of production and distribution by SMEs / SMIs in Cameroon.” 
 
The panelists included Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of the Environment, CCIMA, ANOR, economist Ebe Evina Jean Claude, Santa Lucia supermarkets and the company First Transact International Services. 
 
COVID has brought about a lot of changes and unfortunately, this year the event could not take place under the current circumstances. While we’re saddened by the news, we’re proud of our member, Afriland for their commitment to support SMEs in their region and look forward to being a part of the event in 2021.
