Empowering Communities for Resilient Food Systems in Foni

Gambia Women’s Chamber of Commerce (GWCC) submitted a proposal to ITC on the above subject.


International Trade Centre (ITC) and the World Food Programme (WFP) implemented a joint programme aimed at strengthening food system in Foni. To support this initiative, GWCC developed a 15-page graphic booklet and 10 short documentary videos showcasing youth and women who are actively shaping sustainable food systems across The Gambia.


The project identified 10 individuals involved in agricultural production, horticulture, agro-processing, distribution, nutrition advocacy and agricultural innovation. The identified individuals were from KMC, WCR, CRR and URR. Their stories were captured through interviews, photography and field-based videography. Five of the videos was promoted through a communication partner with at least 25,000 followers across three social media platforms.

The assignment was completed within eight weeks (8) effective February.
