Gambia - ADF/PPF Advance Banjul Port 4th Expansion

The Banjul Port 4th Expansion Project is designed to enhance port infrastructure capacity, facilitate trade facilitation and regional connectivity in the West African sub-region. This regional infrastructure project will enhance economic growth and poverty reduction whilst reducing the transaction costs associated with regional trade. The proposed Banjul Port expansion and modernization Project will also serve as a catalyst for strengthening The Gambia’s position as a major trade and transport corridor hub within the West Africa sub region. The main expected outputs from the study are 1) Feasibility Assessment & Due Diligence Report; 2) Market Study Report; 3) Project Information Memorandum; 4) Virtual Data Room; 5) Financial Model; 6) Financial Close Support. The expected outputs are to lead to the provision of last mile documentation and assistance to bring the Project to financial close and recommendations that meet the requirements for bankable feasibility assessment and investment documentation for obtaining financing from international commercial lending institutions, investors, and development financing institutions. In addition, the expected outputs should be capable of supporting lenders due diligence on the technical, financial, commercial, market, economic, risk, institutional and legal assessment of the proposed developments.
