The 5-year project will take a targeted approach to integrate gender actions across components and leverage significant global knowledge and experience in tourism recovery and SMEs upgrading initiatives, particularly related to building back better in post Covid-19 institutions.

Tourism is one of the main contributing sectors of The Gambia’s economy and employs 17% of the workforce.

In his launch statement, Tourism minister, Hamat N.K. Bah, said: “The biggest share of the grant portfolio amounting to $50 million will be spent on infrastructure works. “This design is to ensure that the tourism sector’s physical assets are protected from further damages as a result of climate change.”
