· Conduct a review of the current labour laws with specific reference to
redundancy and where appropriate, make recommendation for amendments in
line with the current divestiture programme.

The Gambia base on these. Also analyse the impact on poverty and skills

employees, which can be used consistently for all affected employees.

consistent with best practise methodology which includes amongst other
items:

The key factors determining the levels of compensation must be clearly
identified and justified.
