BBP with EBZ in Cameroon

The aim of the project is to improve the employment and working conditions of graduates in Cameroon while enabling investment in renewable energies in agriculture. To this end, the Dresden Electrical Education and Technology Center (EBZ) is continuing its vocational training partnership with the Centre de Formation Professionnelle Bafoussam (CPF), the national agricultural chamber CAPEF, and the Berco Institute in a second phase from 2026 to 2028. Building on the successful pilot in the first phase, the training course “Specialist for Renewable Energies in Agriculture” will be finalized in terms of content, further developed with the participation of the private sector, and submitted for official recognition (homologation) to the responsible ministry (MINEFOP). At the same time, teaching and examination materials will be produced, trainers and examination staff will be qualified, and digital blended learning units will be developed. One focus is on strengthening the practical orientation: farms are being prepared for the practical training components, cooperation agreements are being concluded, and internships are being systematically arranged and supervised. This will improve the integration of vocational training and the labor market and increase demand for the new job profile.
