Presentation of PROPIEJ coupled with the screening of its corporate film
From the presentation of PROPIEJ by Ms. Rolande NDZENGUE, Deputy Coordinator of AGEC, and the screening of its corporate film, it emerged that this Project will enable women and youth to acquire or enhance their technical skills, entrepreneurship skills, and life skills through the strengthening of training offers tailored to the local economy. It aims to make them employable by developing coaching and professional support services; to access the market by strengthening ties with the private sector, improving productivity and services, and enhancing products and services; and to have capital by facilitating access to financial services and strengthening financing within value chains.
