New Gambian Partnership
'New Gambia' is here to stay and GAMSEM wishes to start a New Partnership with entrepreneurial members of the Gambian Diaspora.
What is here envisaged is that young, unemployed people residing in The Gambia will be coached and equipped into exporting strategically selected ethnic food items to Gambian and other African diaspora in Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. Please find below an overview of the export process, products and project objectives.
