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.

The project was launched at the Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara Conference Centre in Bijilo by Tourism Minister Hamat N.K. Bah.

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.
