In early 2009, ABEPSA officially joined offices with AJEPS in their office space in Maroua. This partnership allowed AJEPS to pay off outstanding rent payments and ABEPSA to establish a permanent office.

The collaboration has proven to be successful for both associations, as both were able to leverage the momentum for the move to acquire additional funding from the UNDP Grassroots Poverty Reduction Sub-Program. The members of ABEPSA are now looking to expand their income generation activity by renting a warehouse in town.
