Faiej celebrates the 3-year anniversary of "Jeudi J’ose" and awards 21 entrepreneurs

(Togo First) - The monthly exchange and experience sharing platform "Jeudi J’ose", celebrated its third year anniversary on October 11, 2018, in Lomé during a special edition.  

The celebration, held at Bluezone in Cacaveli in attendance of many officials, was coupled with an award ceremony of 21 entrepreneurs who are laureates of the competition and regular attendants of the previous editions.

Eight laureates of the youth entrepreneurship promotion programme (Programme de Promotion de l’Entreprenariat des Jeunes-PPEJ 2018) and one laureate of the International Forum of Youth and Green Jobs (IFYGJ), received a total of CFA17,974,004 to launch their activities.

Nine other laureates of the PPEJ 2017 received motivating envelopes totaling CFA3,678,000 to consolidate their operations.  

In addition, 3 regular participants of the Jeudi J’ose meetings received a loyalty trophy and a check of CFA500,000 each.

In the presence of the media, Sahouda Gbadamassi-Mivedor, director of Faiej, (Fonds d’Appui aux Initiatives Economiques des Jeunes), praised the success of Jeudi J’ose, which "within 3 years mobilized more than 4,000 young people, in Togo, who were able to implement the advice and knowledge shared during the exchanges".

Commenting on the numerous awards won by young Togolese entrepreneurs recently, Victoire Tomégah-Dogbé, the minister of youth employment indicated that "this initiative and, more broadly, all the youth support reforms, initiated by the government are now yielding results".  

Before the award ceremony, the entrepreneurs were advised on the theme, retained for this 36th edition of the exchange which is "5 réflexes d’un entrepreneur gagnant" ( Five behaviors of a winning entrepreneur) developed by the coach Malick Ayeva.
