The panel is installed.
Now, Francine ELEMVA, Managing Director of CGA SIMPLY-OFFICE, will present the project and today's activities. After the customary pleasantries, she returns directly to the purpose of today's workshop, namely "Creating an ecosystem conducive to innovation and business creation", with the chosen theme being "Innovate and create: tax advantages for young start-ups".
The aim will therefore be to explore the tax advantages available to young people across all sectors of activity. She went on to thank MINJEC for their support for youth entrepreneurship and welcomed the existing partnership between the two organisations. She therefore encouraged young people to be active and attentive throughout the proceedings so that they could absorb and capitalise on all the lessons taught today.
Now it is time to hear from our financial partners, represented here by the Caisse Camerounaise d’Epargne et de Crédit (CCEC). Through its Chief Financial Officer, the CCEC will present the origins of the Guarantee Fund for Young Entrepreneurs and the joint arrangements for supporting young people through project financing.

In his speech, he welcomed this initiative, which deserves to be continued, and thanked the Director of SIMPLY-OFFICE for involving MINJEC in this project. He returned to the existing partnership between MINJEC and SIMPLY-OFFICE, which aims to equip young entrepreneurs receiving public funding with the tools they need to manage their businesses optimally in terms of tax and accounting. He emphasised the importance of such training in a context where young entrepreneurs are numerous but still lack the basics to successfully manage their various projects. He therefore invited them to take full advantage of this workshop, which brought together several experts. Concentration, participation and diligence are required not only from the young beneficiaries but also from all the young participants who have come to take part in this important workshop. With these words, he declared open, on behalf of the Minister of Youth and Civic Education, MOUNOUNA FOUTSOU, the workshop on strengthening the tax and accounting capacities of young entrepreneurs receiving public funding.

A word from the National President of Block Chiefs in Cameroon
After the customary pleasantries, he expressed his delight at being present at this workshop, which is fully in line with the vision of SND30. He pointed out that traditional chiefs also play a role in supporting young people in entrepreneurial initiatives, particularly at the local level. As a result, several projects have been supported by traditional leaders. He concluded by reiterating that he and his fellow block leaders remain committed to sparing no effort to support entrepreneurship among young Cameroonians.
Instant testimonial. This is a beneficiary of FOGAJEUNE. He participated in the Youth Connekt cluster challenge 2022 competition and ranked 2nd at the end of the competition.

In his testimonial, he recounts his journey from his first visit to a multifunctional youth promotion centre and his registration with the National Youth Observatory to obtaining his funding, including entrepreneurial capacity building, REAMORCE and multifaceted support from MINJEC.
It is time for the message from the Minister for Youth and Civic Education.
But first, as is customary, FOGAJEUNE, the head of the Centre representing MINJEC, invited everyone to take part in a minute of civic duty, asking each person to make a kind wish for their neighbour and urging young entrepreneurs to pay their taxes.
