Description

The International Trade Centre (ITC) is implementing the Youth Empowerment Project (YEP) – Tourism and Creative Industries in The Gambia. The overall objective of the project is to enhance the competitiveness, inclusiveness, and sustainability of the tourism sector and creative industries.

As part of its efforts to promote youth entrepreneurship, the YEP-2 project aims to facilitate access to finance for both business start-ups and the growth of small-scale enterprises.

To support this objective, ITC is seeking a local financial service provider to manage the full administration of the grant scheme. This includes screening applications, procuring assets for grantees, organizing training, and monitoring outcomes. The selected service provider will be compensated by ITC under the YEP-2 project.
