AGP Executive Report

Last update: 22 minutes ago

Made-in-The-Gambia Push: The government validated a revised 10-year “made in The Gambia” strategy aimed at turning local production into a measurable engine for value addition, better quality, wider market access, and stronger MSME competitiveness. Quality Infrastructure: The Gambia Standards Bureau (TGSB) shared plans to operationalise its strategic blueprint using a balanced scorecard, targeting standards and conformity services to support industrial growth. Energy & Power Reliability: NAWEC said outages in parts of Greater Banjul and Brikama are linked to overloaded feeders, faulty transformers, and reduced imports from Senegal, with the Tranquil feeder and Jamisa transformer highlighted. Petroleum Revenue & Oversight: The Petroleum Commission reported earning over US$1m from upstream activities in 2025, while FPAC flagged spending of over D7m on travel and training under an unapproved regulatory framework. Digital Finance Growth: Wave Gambia said mobile money is driving financial inclusion, citing a sharp rise in formal inclusion to 82% in 2025. Agriculture for Year-Round Farming: Justice for All Union bought borehole drilling machines to expand irrigation and cut reliance on seasonal rainfall. Regional Logistics Boost: ECOWAS commissioned the Logistics Depot in Lungi, strengthening regional preparedness and emergency response. Tourism Land Clarity: GTBoard stakeholders were briefed on the legal framework for the Tourism Development Area, including government ownership and GTBoard’s administration role. Banking Recognition: Access Bank won 16 Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2026 across digital banking, SME support, customer experience, and sustainable finance.
