The meeting, which took place at the Gambia Immigration Department (GID) Headquarters on Wednesday, 4 February 2026, centred on upcoming activities under the Swiss-funded project.
Discussions focused on the development of key operational documents, including the GIS Manual and the Complaints Manual for the Human Rights and Professional Standards Unit. The project will also deliver capacity-building training sessions covering ethics, integrity, human rights, service standards, and other thematic areas designed to strengthen GIDโs mandate and operations.
The meeting reaffirmed the strong partnership between GID and DCAF in advancing institutional reform. Both institutions reiterated their commitment to building an immigration service that is people-centred, service-driven, and compliant with international human rights standards.
Officials highlighted that the initiative builds on the successes of previous reforms and represents a significant step towards promoting institutional growth and ensuring that The Gambiaโs immigration system reflects best practices in governance and accountability.
