To tackle youth unemployment, the start-up NERA PULSE presents new mechanisms to facilitate the professional and socio-economic integration of young people.
After facilitating the professional integration of 305 young people in Yaoundé in one month, the goal is set at 20,000 before the end of 2026 across the country. The start-up NERA PULSE presented the report of the pilot phase of its digital ecosystem “QUICK” at the Ministry of Youth and Civic Education on May 22, 2026. The program claims to be a concrete and technological response to the employability challenge in Cameroon. During the presentation of its activity report, Paul Junior Ma Ngoa, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Nera Pulse, stated that the initial objective targeted 500 young people in the seven districts of Mfoundi.

At the end of the experimental phase which lasted one month, from February 9 to March 16, 2026, the ecosystem facilitated the professional integration of 305 young people. The major innovation presented by Paul Junior Ma Ngoa is based on two complementary technological pillars that simultaneously address the formal and informal sectors. The Quick Job module for the formal sector automates CV creation and offers “Video CVs” for better visibility with recruiters.
For the informal sector, Quick Money allows young people, graduates or not, to meet their essential needs (rent, daily expenses) while waiting for stable integration. The Nera Pulse managers present this module as the flagship innovation because it restructures the informal sector by transforming households’ daily needs into immediate income opportunities.
The next step, confides the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Nera Pulse, is to support an average of 20,000 young people across Cameroon for accelerated socio-professional and socio-economic integration.
