AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoResilient Fisheries Push: PROREFISH Gambia’s $25m Green Climate Fund-backed push (FAO with the Fisheries Ministry) is moving from plans to practical climate adaptation—replanting degraded mangroves to restore fish breeding grounds and finishing solar fish dryers in Brufut, Tanji, Sanyang and Kartong to cut post-harvest losses, with women making up over half of the 167,643 direct beneficiaries. Climate Risk for Coasts: A new report highlights how ocean warming and acidification are accelerating impacts on coastal livelihoods and fisheries, while saltwater intrusion is creeping inland and threatening drinking water and farmland. Local Knowledge for Fisheries: A study from Gunjur, Sanyang and Tanji argues that fisherfolk’s local ecological knowledge can strengthen sustainable fishing and conservation, if better integrated into national policy. Migration Pressure at the Border: Immigration intercepted 21 undocumented migrants in Brufut (including 11 Senegalese) as authorities step up action against irregular migration. Timber Export Accountability: The National Audit Office says unresolved timber export collections totalling D241.9m remain outstanding, with gaps in supporting documents and reported amounts. Skills for Jobs: Government and the World Bank disbursed over D83m to 25 TVET institutions under the SIE Fund, aiming to expand training for youth, women and persons with disabilities.
