The Gambia has an ambitious National Development Plan (NDP) that prioritizes sustainable growth and social transformation. The plan includes significant investments in public infrastructure aimed at improving key sectors such as agriculture, energy, transport, and human capital. Notable examples include the focus on renewable energy projects and the expansion of the Banjul Port, which will be critical in supporting trade and economic activity. Given the substantial funding gaps identified in the plan, effective public investment management will be crucial to ensure that resources are utilized efficiently and that the intended development outcomes are achieved.

Like most countries, The Gambia is increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. As a low-lying coastal country in West Africa, The Gambia faces significant risks from rising sea levels, increased temperatures, and changes in precipitation patterns. Climate models indicate that temperatures in The Gambia are expected to rise between 1.1 degrees Celsius and 3.1 degrees Celsius by the 2060s and up to 5.0 degrees Celsius by the 2090s, with the interior regions experiencing more rapid warming than coastal areas (Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Natural Resources, 2021). Additionally, the frequency of hot days and nights is projected to increase significantly, exacerbating existing environmental challenges and posing new risks to infrastructure and livelihood.
