The DG of FNE Camille Moute à Bidias recently signed an agreement with the municipality of Pete Bandjoun.

50 young, including 20 girls, aged between 17 and 35 years were employed as the pioneers of Urban Special Employment Program (Usep), called special urban jobs program in the Western region, a program of the national fund for employment (FNE), which was initiated almost 16 months at Bafia.

In the opinion of Camille Mouthe in Bhalke, this program was organised with the motif of absorbing masses of unemployed youth in urban areas. It is according to her, "the creation of jobs in proximity for young people, at the same time to contribute to sanitation and improvement of the environment".

It will be for the beneficiaries of this program to carry out clearing of rubbish, cleaning households, pruning trees, backfilling of pavement, manufacture and installation of nozzles etc.

The project will last six months, three months for the first phase, co-financed by the FNE and the town of Bandjoun, with more than 20 (19 575 145) million CFA francs. The second phase will continue in 2015. The USEP program fits into a stable insertion dynamics, to the extent that beneficiaries will be entered in the database of the FNE.

For those who will have the opportunity to save a portion of their pay for six months (240 000F), they will have the opportunity to benefit from a support of FNE, for setting up a self-employment project, assured Camille Camille Moute à Bidias.
