TAF made reference to his group which is a youth dominated one, saying youth are key in any policy development.<\/p>\n<p>Nelly Taylor, board treasurer of Gambia Women Chamber of Commerce in deputising for the president of GWCC, hinted on their challenges last year during the campaign period and shortage of fuel in the country, pointing out that it the result of not attracting people to the trade fair.<\/p>\n<p>She called on women and youth to come forth and support their initiatives in showcasing Gambian products. Ismaila Sambou, president of Gambia Youth Chamber of Commerce, said the trade fair is created to ensure access to necessities, which he said, would help in building durable economy in the country post covid-19 recovery efforts.<\/p>\n<p>He reminded that the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine also created another shortage in manufacturing inputs and even food supplies. The trade fair, he added, would contribute to the economic development of local businesses especially migrant returnees as well as promoting the concept of \u2018Tekifi\u2019 and tourism.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
