Maximising Opportunities In Growth Blueprint

As Cameroon redoubles efforts to render fruitful the recently endorsed 2020-2030 development plan, President Paul Biya believes there is so much therein that could solve numerous youth problems. All they need is to be fully involved. The National Development Strategy 2020-2030, as the new blueprint is known, seeks to angle the country on the path of sustainable growth capable of giving it a middle-income status by 2035. 
With its underlying goals of carrying out structural transformation of the economy by making fundamental changes in economic and social structures so as to promote inclusive development while preserving opportunities for future generations, the youth are by every means at the centre of all actions. They have the vibrancy to sustain the growth vision and are the highest beneficiaries of the spinoffs of the ten-year development strategy. As the plan seeks to make Cameroon an industrialised country, youth will certainly be on all fronts in the national strategy which revolves around mass production and robust local processing.

You represent the positive values of a radiant and winning Cameroon. This is why the government is not relenting in its efforts to ensure that you play your rightful role in shaping the future of our country.”  It is obvious that each Cameroonian youth is gifted in one domain or the other. Getting fully immersed in their areas of competence with each striving to be at best would be jointly putting hands on deck for the plan to work. The efforts of all and sundry are needed to materialise the growth vision.
No one is certainly unware of the fact that Cameroon is facing several challenges, including revitalising the economy, improving the security climate, strengthening the sociological fabric and improving the livelihoods of the population in a sustainable manner. Attaining these lofty objectives logically requires unreserved adhe...
