Gambian youth takes Agri-Business dreams to Benin for ECOWAS Training

Adama Jarju

A young Gambian, Adama Jarju, is currently in Cotonou, Benin, where she is taking part in a three-month ECOWAS agribusiness training programme courtesy of the Department of Agriculture.

Her trip was facilitated in close consultation with the Youth Office and the West Coast Regional Youth Committee.

The programme is designed to equip Jarju with practical skills and knowledge in agribusiness to enhance youth participation in agriculture and entrepreneurship across the region.
