Youth employability remains a critical factor in driving economic growth in Cameroon. However, the country continues to record high levels of unemployment, a situation worsened by the outbreak of the Anglophone crisis in the North West and South West regions. Mile 16, being one of the communities most affected by the crisis, faces severe pressure on its already limited resources and social services due to the influx of internally displaced persons (IDPs). With little to no economic opportunities available, the burden of survival falls heavily on the young people.
This crisis has played a major role in the rise of youth unemployment, disrupting livelihoods and destabilising the educational system. Many young people have been displaced from their homes and sources of income. In some cases, the loss of parents, or guardians has compelled youths to take on responsibilities as heads of households thereby increasing their vulnerability and limiting their prospects for sustainable livelihoods.
