The Export Promotion and Facilitation Department is mandated to develop export businesses and promote Gambian exports. To enhance the export base of The Gambia, the department is tasked with the following activities:

Through the support from the Commonwealth Secretariat, GIEPA developed an E-Commerce Trade Platform to bring in sellers and buyers of different products produced in the Gambia through different types of transactions. The Platform is intended to increase market efficiencies by accelerating and improving market functions such as matching of buyers and sellers, faster transactions, and the improvement of additional legal infrastructure to support digital trade.
