Cameroon - Social Dimensions of Adjustment (SDA) Project

The Social Dimensions of Adjustment (SDA) project was designed to complement the social and in particular employment, measures already taken under the Programme. It’s an integral part of the Structural Adjustment Programme. Jobs and income should be created through innovative initiatives such as self-employment, the emergence of micro-enterprises, thus complementing more formal productive activities in the private or state sector. Women and grassroots communities should be able to participate more fully in the development process. The DSA project should help to assist vulnerable groups during the transitional phase of adjustment and subsequently increase their participation in the development process. The project was designed as a package consisting of the following seven modules: population; health; education; employment (FNE); women and development; community development programme; planning capacities and information bases.
