In rural areas of The Gambia, job opportunities are scarce, but villagers like Guidom Sabally are benefiting from practical training, gaining recognized qualifications, and setting up successful small businesses in their communities. Sabally’s high school education was cut short because his family could no longer afford school fees, but he was able to take up the opportunity of free technical training, provided by a UN-led training programme, in 2018, and has since found work as an engineer, supervising the construction of culverts – raised roads that allow his community to cross land that is inundated by floods, a consequence of climate change that is affecting many parts of the country. With the money he has saved, Sabally has been able to branch out and become a successful poultry farmer. Sabally’s community is benefiting from his skills, as children are able to get to school, businesses are able to trade, and the roads are being improved as a result.
