CLIENT: THE WORLD BANK

 ​

Description of project: The Personal Initiative (PI) Training in The Gambia is part of the Trade Facilitation West Africa (TFWA) Program. The program is managed by The World Bank and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) with strategic oversight and guidance provided by a Steering Committee, chaired by the ECOWAS Commission and supported by the UEMOA Commission as deputy chair. We adjust the training program to improve entrepreneurial skills and business outcomes of cross-border traders, thereby fostering economic growth and trade efficiency in the region. Together with our local implementation partner GYIN Gambia Chapter, we will deliver the PI Training to 200 cross-border traders in the Upper and Lower River Regions.
