Making The Gambia a Digital Nation: Key Building Blocks of a Thriving Digital Economy

Digital transformation matters for The Gambia, as unlocking its dividends can help the country address its fragility, spur inclusive and sustainable growth and job creation (critical for its young population), boost its resilience to emergencies and bridge the existing digital divide. Which is why The Government of The Gambia, with the support of the World Bank’s Digital Economy for Africa initiative, is ramping up its efforts to lay the foundations to make the “smiling coast of Africa” a digital nation. This video presents key findings of the World Bank’s and IFC’s joint journey to find out what holds back the development of key building blocks of a thriving digital economy in the country and what could be done to strengthen them.

The World Banks Digital Economy for Africa Initiative needs to get the right mix of public/private partnerships and the spectrum of national level to local level micro-projects. Interesting to hear about the specific initiatives in the Gambia.
