| description |
The overarching goal of this study is to
facilitate Cameroon’s strategic objective of ensuring a
well-educated human resources base in support of its quest
to emerge as a strong middle-income economy by 2035. This
study is intended to support Cameroon in preparing a
national strategy for skills development, related policies,
and institutions to boost competitiveness and productivity,
and job creation - while being aware that many factors other
than skills can limit productivity and job creation,
including weak governance, bureaucracy, infrastructure, and
taxation policies that directly affect the business
environment. The study focuses on skills development for the
informal and formal labor markets. For this purpose the
authors have undertaken empirical analyses on growth
accumulation effects, skills development through the
education, and training system that is presented by
examining skills accumulation effects, and value-chain
analysis that shows the constraints for the demand and
supply of skilled and unskilled labor in Cameroon. This
report also presents a comprehensive diagnostic of skills
development policies and institutions in Cameroon. It
analyzes the various mechanisms for skills development and
their alignment with emerging sector demand. The study
attempts to bridge a knowledge gap about the skills mismatch
in Cameroon, and address the question of how education and
training can make valuable contributions to developing
skills, spurring growth, increasing competitiveness, and
helping Cameroon evolve to higher-value products and
services. This study attempts to understand the skills in
demand by employers, the constraints on the development of
those skills, and the skills that make a difference in
raising productivity. |
