Tapan Sangal, founder and director, Kalp Foundation, commented: “We are deeply honoured to collaborate with The Gambia in its journey towards becoming a future-ready nation powered by a robust blockchain-driven digital ecosystem.

“Our partnership with The Gambia marks the beginning of a series of transformative engagements designed to empower nations with sustainable and inclusive digital public infrastructure.”

Lamin Jabbi, minister of communications and digital economy, said: “The Gambia welcomes Kalp Foundation’s vision and expertise in fostering an inclusive digital ecosystem. 

"Together, we will harness the power of blockchain-enabled DPI to deliver innovative, citizen-centric solutions that align with global standards of trust, transparency, and accountability. This initiative is a testament to our commitment to building a brighter, more inclusive future for our nation.”
