ESY-mapping workshop in the Gambia

23-25 November - We facilitated a very constructive ESY-mapping workshop in the Gambia. It was the first workshop in the context of the ECOWAS EA-Harmonisation Programme to gain insight in the similarities and differences of EA legislation amongst the 15 member states. The timing of this ESY-mapping workshop was perfect for the Gambia, since they are currently reviewing their EA legislation.
