"OSSP-CMR"
About us
The COVID-19 pandemic has hit Cameroon hard, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Strict rules to stop the virus have slowed the economy, harming both businesses and families. A survey carried out in 2020 showed that almost 90% of businesses, mainly SMEs, were affected, with some even at risk of closing down.
To help the economy recover, the government has drawn up a plan. The plan aims to strengthen SMEs and stimulate economic growth.
