The Gambian government plans to create 150,000 jobs before 2027. Information Minister Dr. Ismaila Ceesay shared this news at yesterday's May Day event. He read the plan from the National Employment Policy paper, which aims to help people find better work across the country. He called for everyone to join forces on this goal.
Officials want to offer more apprenticeships, internships, and full-time jobs. They focus mainly on farming, fishing, tourism, services, food processing, and tech fields. The government also works to change street jobs into stable careers with benefits. Leaders believe all workers deserve fair treatment, job safety, and chances to grow their skills.
The plan supports worker groups, talks between bosses and staff, and courts that solve job problems. These courts have spread to more areas to help people seek fair treatment. The trade ministry created new digital job tools and business systems to ready workers for future tech jobs. Dr. Ceesay stressed that Gambia needs help from companies, unions, and the government to make the labor market work for all citizens.
