European Union to co-host International Conference for #TheGambia
On 22 May in Brussels the European Union and the Government of The Gambia will jointly organize the International Conference for The Gambia. The conference will focus on confirming support to The Gambia in its democratic transition, as well as raising additional financial support for the implementation of its National Development Plan.
High Representative/Vice President Federica Mogherini (pictured) and Commissioner for International Cooperation and Development Neven Mimica will co-chair the conference together with the President of The Gambia, Adama Barrow. President Barrow will present the country's reform agenda to high-level attendees from the European Union member states, the international community as well as international organizations. Press statements will take place at 12h30 with Commissioner Mimica and President Barrow at the VIP Corner and will be broadcasted live on EbS. In the margins of the conference, a Business Forum will take place on 23 May.
The forum will bring together interested European, regional and Gambian business representatives for exchanges on sector specific strategies and projects during panel discussions on Energy & Infrastructure, Agricultural Value Chains, and Tourism. The European Union has provided strong political support to The Gambia in its democratic transition, and EU assistance for the period 2017-2020 currently amounts to a total of €225 million.
