In Cameroon, a project is helping prisoners acquire entrepreneurial skills in dress making, computer maintenance and cucumber farming.

It's part of a scheme run by an NGO called Creative Skills for Peace Project. The prisoners hope to start their
own businesses after leaving jail in order to keep away from crime.

Focus on Africa's reporter Randy Joe Sa'ah visited the prisons in Bamenda and Kumba.
