Since the publication of its Investment Policy Review (IPR) of the Gambia in 2017, the Gambia has attracted unprecedented levels of foreign direct investment and conducted several reforms to its strategic, legal, and institutional framework for investments. Reforms and initiatives were adopted in key areas, including investment legislation, access to international markets, digital government and infrastructure development, among other areas.

At the request of the Government of the Gambia, UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) prepared a Report on the implementation of the IPR of the Gambia with concrete and action-oriented recommendations to further facilitate investment and improve the business climate. The report includes measures to enhance, notably, the investment-specific framework, business establishment, competition, governance and investment promotion.
