The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) Gambia has awarded grants worth over 50,000 UD Dollars to 25 young Gambian entrepreneurs.
This initiative, known as CinemArena, is a collaboration between IOM Gambia, the Ministry of Trade, Industry, Regional Integration and Employment (MOTIE), and the National Youth Council. The program aims to tackle unemployment and discourage illegal migration.
During a ceremony in Banjul, the CinemArena grants were officially handed over to the 25 entrepreneurs.
