We hope this partnership remains strong as we continue to celebrate and discuss entrepreneurship and mobility in the years ahead,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Fatou Kinda Jobe, Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), emphasized the significance of the European Union\u2019s continued partnership through the Flexible Mechanism for Migration, as well as Enabel the Belgian Development Agency for its collaboration with national institutions such as the Ministry of Trade, Industry, Regional Integration, and Employment, and the Ministry of Forestry and the Environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Boosting Gambian Talents initiative contributes greatly to our national goals by promoting entrepreneurship as a reliable path to economic empowerment,\u201d she said. \u201cIt strengthens our diaspora as partners in innovation and investment, aligning with national priorities through cooperation among stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added that ongoing collaboration with the EU, Enabel, and other partners continues to yield major milestones, particularly in migration and sustainable development.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on behalf of the Ministry of Trade, Industry, Regional Integration, and Employment, Permanent Secretary Abdoulie Jallow said the project aligns closely with the Ministry\u2019s programs on economic empowerment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur efforts under this project will support the government in creating a viable and sustainable economy,\u201d Jallow said. \u201cToday\u2019s Theory of Change workshop is not merely a planning exercise, but a foundation for continued progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He encouraged all participants to maintain their engagement beyond the event. \u201cYour expertise across various sectors is invaluable in shaping a framework that reflects our national realities. This collaboration should remain sustainable, and the lessons learned should feed into national programs,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
