“I urge the Coca-Cola to extend its corporate
social responsibility to the Gambian media, especially by supporting young
journalists,” the Secretary General of The Gambia Press Union said on May 2,
2013.
Janneh was speaking during a reception held at the Coco Ocean hotel in Bijilo which was meant to recognise the company’s partnership with the local media and to discuss how to strength that relationship. It was hosted by the Coca-Cola Company in The Gambia (GAMBEGA).

media and a longstanding partnership with the media in Africa.
“We are holding this event in order to open up
opportunities to the media and to discuss how to strengthen this strong
partnership,” Ms Bawuah said.
Sergio Codonyer, PAC Director Equatorial
Africa Coca-Cola Bottling Company (ECCBC) expressed his gratitude to the
Gambian media for their “historical strong support of the Company’s operations”
in the country.
At the event, the Coca-Cola Company announced
it has collaborated with MedShare “to donate another container of medical
