The Ministry responsible for Youth and Sports development in the country outlined that they are committed to fulfilling the objectives of the National Development Plan (2018-2021), with the slogan “leave no youth behind”.
“We are committed to fulfilling the objectives of the National Development Plan (2018-2021), by “leave no youth behind”, as it recognises that youth are the engine of growth and will be the essential pillar for any development that The Gambia aims to achieve,” MOYS said.
According to the ministry, NEDI has over the years trained thousands of potential and existing youth and women entrepreneurs most of whom are doing remarkably well in their different enterprises.
“NEDI has built a strong partnership with other government agencies and EU structures such as YEP and GIZ to implement training on entrepreneurship and related value chain areas for youth and women in the country.”
