We are pleased to kick off the second phase of our training for the Police on Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Sexual Harassment (SEA/SH) in Juffureh, North Bank Region.

Building on the successful first phase held at Senegambia Beach Hotel in the Greater Banjul Area, this training continues to strengthen the capacity of law enforcement officers to prevent, respond to, and address GBV and SEA/SH with professionalism, accountability, and a survivor-centered approach.

Together, we are strengthening safer communities for all.

🌍 Capacity building in action! 🚀

We're excited to share an important milestone in our collaboration with The Gambia Tourism and Hospitality Institute (GTHI). With support from the Tourism Diversification and Resilience in The Gambia Project, we've moved from needs assessment and curriculum development to the delivery of hands-on capacity-building activities for GTHI's academic and administrative staff.

đź“š The ongoing training led by a consortium of experts from Ho Technical University (HTU), Ghana covers:
âś… High Impact Tourism Training (HITT) Pedagogical Skills
âś… Digital Skills & Academic Management
âś… Technical Refreshers & Orientation to New Courses

đź’ˇ Our focus on practical coaching and Training of Trainers (TOT) ensures that the knowledge, skills, and systems established will continue to benefit GTHI long after the project ends.

Together, we are building a more resilient and diversified tourism future for The Gambia. 🇬🇲

Our GBV engagement moves upcountry!

We have touched down at Mansawally Lodge, Jenoi (LRR) for the commencement of our Orientation Workshop on the Updated Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Medical Reporting Form.

This session brings together key frontline stakeholders to strengthen reporting systems, ensure consistency in how GBV cases are documented across regions, and reinforce survivor-centered approaches that prioritize dignity, confidentiality, and care.

From the coast to the provinces, no survivor should be left without proper support or a standardized system that works for them.

🎭 Culture as a Driver of Tourism Diversification
Today, the Director of Literature, Performing and Fine Arts from the National Centre for Arts and Culture (NCAC) visited the Tourism Diversification and Resilience in The Gambia Project (TDRGP) to explore collaboration on promoting intangible cultural heritage as part of The Gambia’s tourism diversification agenda.

The discussion highlighted the powerful role of intangible cultural heritage such as music, dance, literature, and traditional performance in enriching the visitor experience and expanding tourism beyond the country’s traditional “sun, sand and sea” model.

The Gambia’s rich cultural heritage—preserved through the work of NCAC—offers immense potential to develop authentic cultural experiences, support local creative industries, and create new opportunities for communities and MSMEs linked to tourism.

By linking culture, heritage, and tourism, this collaboration strengthens The Gambia’s efforts to build a more diverse, resilient, and inclusive tourism sector—one that celebrates our identity while creating sustainable economic opportunities.
