This gives IITA independence in the management of the Program, particularly in the fiduciary and administrative aspects.\n\nMonths of financial constraints impacted progress and led to the slowdown of key activities at the YABICs. The signed amendment will address these pitfalls hindering the implementation of the Program and allow the immediate resumption of activities. For this purpose, a corrective plan to get the train back on track and a six-month emergency plan have been drawn up to guarantee smooth continuity and the achievement of the Program\u2019s objectives.\n<div id=\"attachment_7276\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 504px\">\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27708\" src=\"https:\/\/iita.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ENABLE-Youth-Cameroon-p02-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"504\" height=\"252\" \/>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7276\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Group photo.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\nIn addition to the production of these operational documents, the Program Coordination Unit will hold participatory meetings with the managers of the host institutions of the YABICs to offer better living conditions to aspiring agripreneurs. The Coordinators of the YABICs, who are the administrative managers of incubation centers, and Aspiring Agripreneurs, who are the essence of the Program, will be the main target of this emergency communication set-up.\n\nThis amendment is a real boost for the Program because it will permit the activities\u2019 serene finalization. During the next six months, the EYC Coordination Unit will work at a sustained pace to close the incubation cycle of the first cohort and finalize the recruitment process for the second batch.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cameroonian Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development (MINADER), Gabriel Mbairobe, and the IITA-Cameroon Country Representative Carg\u00e8le Masso signed an amendment to the agreement on youth vocational training in agricultural entrepreneurship and Agri-business (ENABLE Youth Cameroon) on 30 October.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":15271,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"tags":[1249],"science-area":[],"program":[],"location":[41],"news-type":[],"hub":[63],"crop":[],"impact-areas":[],"item-year":[198],"class_list":["post-15270","news-item","type-news-item","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-cameroonenable-youthiita-news-no-2564yabicyouth","location-cameroon","hub-central-africa","item-year-198"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
