Javnyuy Joybert- CEO, CELBMD Africa
Javnyuy Joybert is the founder and CEO of CELBMD Africa. He is a young African from The Republic of Cameroon. Javnyuy is a man who wears many hats. He is a preacher of the gospel by divine orchestration, empowerment coach, social entrepreneur, motivational speaker and also doubles as the senior trainer/consultant at CELBMD. According to Javnyuy, the idea to start CELBMD was triggered by his experience after graduating high school in 2009.
After high school my single mum could not afford my university tuition and I was so eager to further my education and become the banker I have always wanted to be. So I could not go to school and at the same time I did not have the employability skills that employers needed from job seekers. I now started asking questions why is there no organization that can train me with the skills I need to make me employable at a very cheap fee that I could carry out odd jobs, pay and earn these skills within a very short period of time, maximum 3 months courses.
According to Javnyuy, he started doing odd jobs in Bamenda City. He washed cars, worked in building construction sites, cleaned and served as commercial motorbike rider, until he was able to earn his Bachelors of Science degree in Financial Management in 2012. “After acquiring my degree I got my first job as a finance clerk in a microfinance institution and at the same time started working on developing an organization that will put the thoughts I had in 2009 into action to affect young people like me across Africa. And CELBMD Africa was born.”
Since its inception, CELBMD has been recording tremendous success across Africa. It has ambassadors from various African countries. Outstanding young Africans who have continued to carry on the vision of CELBMD Africa through the great work they are doing in their respective countries. CELBMD also boasts of registered training centers in 18 African countries (Malawi, Uganda, Botswana, Tanzania, Somalia, Zambia, Djibouti, Nigeria, Ghana, DRC, Rwanda, Angola, Mozambique, South Africa, Burkina Faso, Swaziland, Kenya and Cameroon) Through these programs the organization has been transforming Africa by transforming the minds of Africans.
The organization has been nominated for so many awards and have won a couple of awards too. Winner of Princess Kuja Recognition Awards 2016 for Community Development organized by a New York (USA) Base Marie-Claire Kuja Foundation, UK Base Kinnaka’s Blog Gola Project Awards 2016. Javnyuy was also nominated for the 2015 Africa Youth Award – Category: Grassroots Transformation and 2016 Africa Youth Award – Category Male African Youth of the Year.
On his goals and aspirations, Javnyuy says,
The African Continent is at a point in time where they need competencies such as creativity, problem solving, initiative, and transformational leadership capabilities. To promote sustainable development and economic empowerment in Africa, African leaders as a matter of now must implement new educational models unlike the one that has been existing with little or no transformation effect. Therefore CELBMD Africa aim at accelerating Youth Empowerment/Development in areas of creativity, problem solving, entrepreneurship, leadership, effective business management practices across Africa for sustainable growth in Africa. CELBMD Africa projects are designed to point young people in the right direction to enable them play constructive quota in continent/nation building. Currently we are working on our 2025 vision where we envision seeing CELBMD Africa operating in all 54 African countries and training/empowering 100 000 Africans through our Professional Executive Training/Development and Capacity Building Seminars and Conferences.
Talking on what drives him, Javnyuy says, “I have a mandate to contribute my best to make sure that I leave a better Africa to the future generation better than the one I inherited from my single mum. This drives me daily.” Javnyuy understands the benefits of a mentor-mentee relationship. Because of this, he says he is open to being a mentor to anyone.
