ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the process involved in implementing projects at public Technical and Vocational Education and Training institutions in The Gambia, including how they were initiated, managed and implemented. It shows how effectively, and efficiently the government has supported company and non-governmental provision of training in The Gambia. Information technology projects at the Gambia Technical Training Institute (GTTI) supported initiatives at the computer department and also at the stenography unit. The GTTI and West African Examinations Council were jointly responsible for ensuring that the UK consultants were provided with copies of the syllabuses for the subjects to be localised; and for providing consultants with transport and the premises necessary to deliver the workshops. According to senior managers at the GTTI the World Bank was opposed to secondary technical schools because it thought that The Gambian government was incapable of supporting their recurrent running costs.
