Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS CMR FY21 09
The Youth Entrepreneurship Symposium - Building the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs is a U.S. Embassy in Cameroon grant opportunity (U.S. Department of State, U.S. Mission to Cameroon) designed to strengthen the ability of Cameroonian youth to start new businesses or grow existing ones. The program is structured around three regional, in-person workshops held in three different regional capital cities in Cameroon, with the central purpose of helping young entrepreneurs move from the seed stage to more advanced phases where they can expand operations, increase revenue, and build sustainable enterprises.
Applications are expected to show a clear, practical understanding of Cameroon s entrepreneurship ecosystem, including the real-world barriers young founders face and the local resources they can tap into. Proposals should lay out training modules that go beyond general inspiration and instead focus on concrete business-building skills that can realistically push participants toward intermediate and expansion stages. The Embassy is looking for programs that lead to tangible outcomes, such as participants turning business ideas into viable projects, increasing sales, creating or maintaining jobs, improving capitalization, strengthening marketing plans, and improving access to capital or financing opportunities.
A key requirement is that the program not end when the workshops end. Strong proposals include follow-up support after the trainings, such as coaching, mentorship, technical assistance, linkages to investors or lenders, pitch refinement, or help with customer acquisition strategies. This post-training component should be designed to help participants apply what they learned and to generate measurable results, and it should include a plan for monitoring and evaluating impact (for example, tracking business launches, revenue changes, hiring, funding raised, or other performance indicators over a defined period).
