The meeting was initiated by Gambia IOC member, Miss Beatrice Allen as part of her unlimited support to the development of Gambian Sports.
According to Gambia Handball Association Secretary General Haruna Cham, the deal comprises of US$40,000 for the construction of an outdoor Handball court to be carried out by an American Construction company appointed by the International Handball Federation but the Gambia has to provide the land for the project.
