IOM aims to provide tailored Climate smart and climate resilient entrepreneurship training for 100 Gambian youth to enhance their economic development and social resilience. The trainings are expected to take place in all five administrative regions (Banjul, Kanifing, Lower River, Central River, and Upper River). The implementing partner is therefore expected to have strong operational network in The Gambia to be successfully able to deliver project activities in line with the expected results.
Sector(s) and area(s) of specialization
The Implementing Partner is expected to have experience and expertise in the following key areas:

- Business development support for youth in climate-smart ventures and nature-based livelihoods. • Knowledge of climate change, green technologies, and sustainable development practices.
Project Background
The Gambia is highly vulnerable to the impact of climate change and environmental degradation. Changes in temperatures, annual precipitation patterns, and the frequency and severity of certain weather events, combined with existing environmental, social, and economic vulnerabilities, are undermining Gambia’s food, water, and economic security. This is causing loss of livelihoods, destabilizing rural communities, and fueling rural-urban migration. The 2023 UN Gambia Common Country Analysis (CCA) reports that climate change and environmental degradation poses a threat and serves as an obstacle to The Gambia’s efforts to achieve the SDGs have increased the frequency and severity of disasters.
Keeping in view this national priority, IOM The Gambia is implementing the project “Promoting Intra-Regional Labour Migration for Local Development in West African Countries” funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation. The overall objective of the project is to support efforts of the Government of The Gambia, specifically the Ministry of Trade, Industry, Regional Integration and Employment to strengthen the socio-economic development
and mobility of youth in rural and border regions of the Gambia. In alignment with national priorities as outlined in the National Employment Policy and its Action Plan 2022-2026, promote safe, orderly and regular mobility, both within and across borders, while ensuring a balance between labour supply and labour demand to support youth employment and income generation.
IOM The Gambia aims to work with an Implementing Partner having strong operational presence in The Gambia to provide climate smart and climate resilient entrepreneurship training for youth.

- Providing technical and vocational training to 100 young people to equip them with skills and knowledge for climate-smart businesses by developing and delivering comprehensive curriculum and assessment materials • Supporting operationalization of 20 climate-smart businesses that will contribute to reducing carbon emissions, promoting sustainability, and driving green economic growth.
