Since the Gambia-EU Cooperation has been growing steadily over the past decades, the EU continues to stand out as one of The Gambia’s principal development partners.
“The EU has funded huge capital intensive projects in the areas of water supply, transportation, rural development and livelihood enhancement, direct poverty reduction programmes, among others,” Mod A.K. Secka, permanent secretary at the Ministry of Finance, said on Tuesday at the beginning of a nine-day training of stakeholders on the 10th European Development Fund (EDF) procedures held at the Kairaba Beach Hotel in Senegambia.
Due to the EU’s huge developmental support to The Gambia, Mr Secka expressed the government’s commitment to strengthening the long fruitful relationship between The Gambia and the EU.
