ReviveLab Cameroon

The Phoenix Revival Association will implement a 12-month skills-empowerment and social-inclusion programme in Cameroon’s Central and Littoral Regions (July 2025–July 2026). The initiative addresses persistent youth unemployment, limited access for women and youth to artisanal trades and leadership pathways, and the social marginalisation of vulnerable young people in post-conflict, low-resource settings.

The programme combines training in eight artisanal and technical trades with mentorship and business incubation support for 35 young participants (aged 18–35; 60% women). Its objectives are to equip youth with market-relevant skills for micro-enterprise creation or formal employment, strengthen leadership and gender equity, and build inclusive value chains linking trained youth to local markets.

From July–September 2025, the project will conduct recruitment, baseline assessments and curriculum development; from October 2025–March 2026, participants will complete weekly trade modules and practical workshops; from April–June 2026, activities will focus on business incubation, mentorship, market linkage and showcasing outputs; in July 2026, the programme will conclude with graduation, evaluation, dissemination of lessons learned and the launch of an alumni network.
