Small Businesses Take Shape Following WAKKA Inclusive Njangi’s Final Asset Distribution

By Andrea Elanga

Business start-up assets were distributed on 13 July 2026 in Méfou-et-Akono Division (Centre Region) and 14 July 2026 in Mvila Division (South Region), marking the completion of the WAKKA Inclusive Njangi Project’s asset distribution phase. Beneficiaries are now launching their small businesses as the project enters its implementation and learning phase.

Every dream deserves the chance to flourish.

In Mvila Division, one beneficiary dreams of rising to the top as a leading maize producer in Cameroon. Meanwhile, the President of the Inclusive Njangi group in Méfou-et-Akono Division is determined to build a thriving business that opens doors for others in her community. Across the Centre and South Regions, these ambitions are starting to blossom.

The final distribution of business start-up assets on 13 July 2026 in Méfou-et-Akono Division and 14 July 2026 in Mvila Division completed the WAKKA Inclusive Njangi Project’s asset distribution phase.

Building on the first rounds of business asset distribution announced in our June 2026 update, all 97 beneficiaries who completed the WAKKA Inclusive Njangi Project’s entrepreneurship and digital skills training have received the resources needed to implement their business plans.

Developed through individual business plans and informed by local market opportunities, beneficiaries are launching a diverse range of small businesses including poultry farming, pig farming, maize production, tailoring, hairdressing, weaving, catering, retail trading and other locally viable enterprises. Each beneficiary also received a smartphone to strengthen digital inclusion, support business management and improve access to market information.

The WAKKA Inclusive Njangi Project goes beyond supporting entrepreneurship. Through eBASE Africa’s Getting Research into Households (GRIH) approach, research evidence is translated into practical knowledge that helps families make informed decisions about livelihoods, financial inclusion and social protection. Entrepreneurship training, digital technologies, the Inclusive Njangi model and ongoing field accompaniment work together to strengthen the economic resilience of persons with disabilities and their families.

With the asset distribution phase complete, the project enters a new stage focused on implementation, accompaniment and learning. Over the coming months, eBASE Africa will continue supporting beneficiaries as they establish and grow their businesses while documenting lessons to strengthen future disability-inclusive livelihood initiatives. As a living evidence implementation model, the project uses research to inform implementation and generates new evidence to improve future practice.

Implemented by eBASE Africa and funded by Christian Blind Mission (CBM), the WAKKA Inclusive Njangi Project supports persons with disabilities and caregivers across Cameroon’s Centre and South Regions to build resilient livelihoods through evidence-informed entrepreneurship, financial inclusion and community-led support. The project reflects eBASE Africa’s commitment to improving livelihoods through innovation and best practices.
