This prestigious continental gathering will bring together policymakers, ministers, development institutions, investors, entrepreneurs, cooperatives, financial institutions, social innovators, civil society leaders, academics, women leaders, youth representatives, diaspora networks, and international development partners committed to advancing inclusive and sustainable economic growth across Africa.
FORA’ESS 2026: A Strategic Continental Platform for Africa’s Future
Held under the High Patronage of the President of the Republic of Senegal, FORA’ESS 2026 has established itself as one of Africa’s leading platforms for dialogue, cooperation, innovation, and investment within the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) sector.
The forum is expected to attract high-level government delegations, regional organizations, development finance institutions, local authorities, social enterprises, cooperative movements, private-sector leaders, and international organizations from across Africa and beyond. Participants will engage in discussions focused on strengthening economic inclusion, empowering women and youth, promoting entrepreneurship, supporting local production, mobilizing innovative financing mechanisms, and accelerating sustainable development.
Under the theme:
“The Social and Solidarity Economy: A Driver of Transition, Inclusion, and Convergence in Africa,”
the forum will explore practical solutions for addressing some of the continent’s most pressing challenges, including unemployment, poverty, financial exclusion, climate resilience, local industrialization, food security, and community development.
For Cameroon, the event represents a strategic opportunity to strengthen regional cooperation, attract investment, showcase local innovations, and position the country as a destination for sustainable business, tourism, trade, entrepreneurship, and social impact initiatives.
Advancing Clevenard’s Vision for Cameroon and Africa
As Director of Clevenard Cameroon, Empress Pauline Lambou will use the FORA’ESS platform to explore strategic partnerships capable of expanding Clevenard’s impact across Cameroon while creating new pathways for investment, job creation, entrepreneurship development, and community empowerment.
Clevenard is more than a business network. It is a global ecosystem designed to empower people, businesses, institutions, and communities by creating meaningful connections that generate sustainable growth and long-term impact.

For Cameroon, this vision translates into creating stronger links between local entrepreneurs and international investors, promoting Cameroonian products and services globally, facilitating strategic partnerships, supporting youth and women-led enterprises, encouraging tourism development, and attracting capital that can stimulate sustainable economic growth.
FORA’ESS 2026 provides an ideal environment for Clevenard to engage directly with decision-makers, investors, development institutions, foundations, corporations, and entrepreneurs seeking opportunities across Africa. By leveraging its growing international presence throughout Africa and Europe, Clevenard aims to position Cameroon as a competitive destination for investment and innovation while helping local businesses access international markets and global networks.
Promoting the “Made in Cameroon” Brand
One of the key objectives of Cameroon’s participation is to showcase the country's products, innovations, expertise, cultural heritage, entrepreneurial talent, and community-driven development initiatives.
The forum will provide an important platform for highlighting the achievements of Cameroonian cooperatives, artisans, social entrepreneurs, agricultural producers, women-led businesses, youth innovators, and community organizations. It will also create opportunities to establish partnerships, attract funding, access technical expertise, and build relationships that support national development priorities.
Empress Pauline Lambou's participation reflects a commitment to ensuring that Cameroon is not merely represented at continental discussions but actively contributes to shaping Africa’s economic future while benefiting from the partnerships and opportunities that emerge from these engagements.
