The World Bank is financing the Gambia Inclusive and Resilient Agricultural Value Chain Development Project (GIRAV). The USD $40 million project is to be implemented between November 2021 and December 2026 and is intended to support agricultural value chain development to move from subsistence to more market-oriented agriculture. The five-year project aims to contribute to increasing private-sector investment in agribusiness and expand the private sector’s involvement in agricultural value chains including production, processing, marketing, and service delivery.

According to the Project Appraisal Document, the Development Objectives of the Project are to “promote the development of inclusive, resilient, and competitive agricultural value chains, focusing on smallholder farmers and agribusinesses in project target areas.”
