Analyse De Limpact Du Microcredit Sur Lemploi Des Jeunes Ruraux Dans La Region De Lextreme Nord Cameroun : Cas Du Programme Dappui Au Developpement Des Emplois Ruraux (PADER)
The Cameroonian State, in order to fight against unemployment of its population, has developed and put into practice a whole set of public policy instruments. The National Employment Fund (FNE) is an instrument of choice in this policy. After 30 years of existence, this structure must be evaluated to determine whether it is achieving the objectives that have been assigned to it. To this end, by working with beneficiaries financed by the FNE through the PADER program in the Far North region during 2012, we determined the impact of microcredits granted to populations by this structure to fight against unemployment in rural areas. Using a logistic regression model, we were able to capture the induced effects of this program in our study population. According to the results obtained, the amount of the microcredit is significant in the fight against unemployment, but is low to be able to hire other people, moreover the only sector for which the amount provided has real impact is that of the agricultural sector, the other activities requiring additional contributions.
Analyse Des Determinants De Linefficacite Technique Des Exploitations Familiales Rizicole Dans La Région De lExtreme Nord-Cameroun
This article looks at the origin of the productive technical inefficiency of Rice family farms in the Far North region of Cameroon, particularly the Maga production basin, which is one of the largest rice production basins in the country. This product is characterized by low domestic production, so the direct consequence is the import of rice to satisfy local demand; Finally, to evaluate the productive capacity of rice-farming family farms in this production basin, we determine the technical productive efficiency of these rice-farming family farms using CRS and VRS technology to determine the productive inefficiency index; finally, to explain these different indices we use a simple Tobit model. The model shows that certain parameters are at the origin of the technical productive inefficiency in the basin. Among these parameters the services provided by SEMRY is one of the most significant variables of the model.
