Evidence over
exaggeration.

We measure ourselves by the productive capability created in Cameroon. Every figure published here is verified before it is recorded, and backed by the human stories of our trainees, founders and partners.

    Recorded

    Each division records its own activity: cohorts, ventures, investments and stays.

  2. 02

    Reconciled

    Figures are checked against source records, such as registers, agreements and accounts.

  3. 03

    An editorial and governance review confirms the figure and how it is described.

    Only then does the number appear here, with the division that reports it.
