It's a celebration 💃 Happy Africa Day 🌍!

From the founding of the Organisation of African Unity to the African Union we know today, Africa’s journey has been one of unity, resilience, and ambition.

Today, we celebrate a continent that is not only reflecting on its past but actively shaping its future through leadership, innovation, and global partnerships.

Africa’s story is still being written—and its impact is felt far beyond the continent.

Over 10,000 support measures delivered. Thousands trained. Communites empowered.

Since its opening in 2022, the Gambian-German Centre, supported by the Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ) 🇩🇪, has achieved impressive results in promoting employment, skills development, psychosocial support and entrepreneurship for migrants, returnees, and local communities across The Gambia 🇬🇲.

✅ Support measures delivered: 10,100
✅ Training opportunities provided: 1,500
✅ Counselling sessions conducted: 2,000

Behind every number is a person supported on their path toward employment, entrepreneurship, and greater stability. The program has made a visible impact on the Gambian employment sector and helped create opportunities for communities across the country.

As this chapter comes to a close, we are proud of what has been achieved together — and even more grateful to the many partners who made it possible. ✨

A heartfelt thank you to our implementing partners for their dedication, collaboration, and unwavering commitment throughout the project:

• Ministry of Trade, Industry, Regional Integration and Employment
