Accounting Assistant
European Institute for Cooperation and Development
Douala, Cameroon
CONTEXT
The European Institute for Cooperation and Development (IECD), an international solidarity organization,
has been working since 1988 to promote social and economic development in fifteen developing and
emerging countries. Nearly thirty years of experience have enabled the IECD to develop real expertise in
technical and vocational training, in supporting very small businesses and in access to education and
health for the most vulnerable people.
Present in Cameroon for 30 years, the IECD carries out several of its flagship programs there:
• Vocational training by supporting a network of 15 vocational training centers
and institutes in the training of young people in rural areas in agricultural professions to facilitate their
professional integration.
• Rural development by The structuring of the market gardening sector (APONH): in partnership with a
large French group in the sector, structuring of the sector by simultaneously relying on
commercial, technical and social activities. Thus, 40 producers see their living conditions
improved by working for 200 B2C clients and 15 B2B clients thanks to the commercial intermediation
of SOFRULECAM, which is an entity created by the IECD for this purpose.
• Entrepreneurship:
– The incubator project for small and medium-sized enterprises in the agri-food sector
(TRANSFORM): which allows entrepreneurs to create and develop their start-ups in the
agri-food sector by providing a technology hall.
– The Very Small Enterprises support program: training and support for micro and
small urban entrepreneurs from all sectors of activity, by strengthening their management skills,
so that they consolidate or develop their professional activity.
The IECD ensured the launch in late 2022 and early 2023 of three (04) new programs:
• The Graine d’Espérance (GDE) program: a program that consists of improving the training
offered by training centers so that they correspond to the needs of the labor market.
This involves 5 pillars: improving training standards, renovating equipment,
training teachers, setting up guidance and employment activities, and improving
school management.
• The hotel and catering program (HR): supporting the partner Sorawel in the development
of its professional training center in the hotel and catering industry.
• The project to experiment with training standards in the agri-food sectors in
partnership with the Ministry of Vocational Training;
• The RELIEEF program (Strengthening Integration through Employment and Women’s Entrepreneurship).
