Gambia
Relations with the EU are based on political dialogue under the Cotonou Agreement, trade and development assistance.
Political dialogue
Both formal and informal, involving both government and civil society, this broad dialogue includes the political situation in Gambia and all aspects of governance.
It seeks to promote a stable and democratic political environment and economic, cultural and social development.
Development assistance
Policy
The EU supports Gambia's poverty-reduction goals:
• medium term (2012-15) – Programme for Accelerated Growth and Employment [4 MB] , to help Gambia achieve the Millennium Development Goals
• long term - Vision 2020.
The EU development strategy for Gambia focuses on:
- infrastructure (transport & energy) and regional interconnectivity
- governance
Aid
The EU is providing €73m up to 2013 under the European Development Fund, including support under the MDG Initiative.
The Gambia also receives aid from regional, intra-ACP and specific programmes, as well as EU humanitarian aid to tackle the consequences of the Sahel food crisis.
