    Consultancy for Transaction Advisor (consortium) for the Restructuring & Privatization of Telecommunications Assets in The Gambia

    The Government of The Gambia (GoTG) recognizes the importance of the information and communication technology (ICT) sector for the development of the overall economy. The National Development Plan (NDP) 2018-2021 specifically mentions the need to improve the telecommunications access network and to position ICT as an enabler to achieve the national development objectives. The NDP includes targets for the ICT sector to be achieved by 2021:

     

    ·                     Increase the % of population using the internet daily from 46.8% to 90%;

    ·                     Increase the proportion of population with access to mobile phones from 78.9% to 90%;

    ·                     Increase the proportion of schools connected to broadband internet from 6% to 12%; and

    ·                     Existence of National Information and Communications Infrastructure Policy II.

     

    During 2018, with the support of the World Bank, the GoTG undertook a detailed assessment of the ICT sector with a view to identifying options to improve sector performance and reduce the fiscal burden to GoTG. This work included preparation of a baseline assessment, identification and evaluation of options for the reform of Gamtel, Gamcel and other GoTG telecom investments.
