Cameroon in general and the Far North Region in particular has been marked since
2014 by a growing security crisis, the object of the Islamic sect Boko Haram. Cross-
border security crisis between Cameroon and Nigeria which limits the combined
efforts of the Cameroonian government and development organizations on the
ground. Suicide bombings, assassinations, hostage-taking and the illusory promise of
a better life are all arguments put forward by the sect to unemployed young people in
the Far North Region, one of the poorest in the Cameroon. This crisis has not only
pushed a certain population of the border areas dedicated to development to leave
their villages abandoning their daily activities to go to Maroua, head of the Far North
Region.
The HIMO (High Intensity of Labor) project initiated by the Urban C2D Program
"Regional Capitals" of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (MINHDU) led
by the ILO in Maroua aims to promote the optimal use of locally available resources
(labour, materials , local know-how) with a view to reducing poverty, creating massive
jobs for young people, respecting gender, in short, social cohesion and the search for
peace.
It is a question on the one hand that during construction site works supervised by the
ILO, to organize into associations of different construction trades, the young people
recruited for the execution of the said works in order to promote their access to the
long-term employment (by continuing to manufacture and lay paving stones as well
as constructing drains) after the work on the site has been completed. Beyond the
practical training on construction techniques for the construction of urban
infrastructure received during the execution of the works, these young people will
also be able to manage income-generating activities so as to ensure greater job
creation and economic opportunities at the level of urban communities .
On the other hand, women from poor families in the neighborhoods surrounding the
mountains of the city of Maroua have made stone their main livelihood activity
through crushing. This makes it possible to provide construction companies and the
public (ILO works) with gravel intended for construction work. However, the practice
of this activity by these women is not at all easy, given the rudimentary equipment
used in the crushing, harsh climatic conditions and especially the absence of a good
associative organization in the sale of their product.
The existence of associations for construction trades alongside associations of
women crushing stones from Maroua therefore ultimately constitutes an opportunity
through the complementarity of activities in the sale and use of aggregates. But, to
achieve this, support is needed for both types of associations and their synergy of
action.
B- Specific objectives
The specific objectives are to:

1) Working session with the BIT Maroua team for consultation before the
start of the service
This phase consists for the service provider of meeting with the members of the
Maroua ILO team for the presentation of the work methodology, receiving
recommendations, being at the same level of information before the start of the
service.
2) Field trip to meet women stone crushers to make contact and
appointments for awareness and training meetings/workshops
The purpose of this phase is to meet the women crushing the stones of Maroua, to
inform them of the object of our mission, to collect their feelings and to draw up a
program for the realization of the various activities to be carried out.

3) Awareness-raising and information workshops/meetings for women
stone crushers in Maroua on the issues (advantages, disadvantages,
community spirit, etc.) of their profession.
These meetings will be decisive. Because they will allow women to assess the quality
of the draft statute, rules of procedure and electoral code before the vote. It is only
after this assessment that they will vote on the founding texts of their association and
the members of the Executive Board who will have to lead the association for a
determined period.
This meeting will consist in offering women, members of this association, the basics
of administrative and financial management. Because they (the members of the
Executive Board) will be called upon to perform acts of management and
administration for the benefit of their association. It is therefore necessary for these to
be capable in the domains.
