France to create 3,500 jobs in the Far North region of Cameroon

The visiting French Secretary of State for Development and La Francophonie, Annick Girardin has launched a project to create 3500 jobs for youths in the Far North Region. The French emissary launched the labour intensive project during her visit to the region this November 2015.

The project which involves the various councils in the region is being funded by the C2D partnership agreement. Annick Girardin explained that the jobs will help keep the youth off the streets and prevent them from being exposed to recruitment by terrorist groups.
