AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Electricity & Health Services: NAWEC says Greater Banjul and the West Coast are facing major power disruptions, with imports cut by up to 60MW and domestic backup generation short by more than 50% of demand, leading to scheduled outages that can last over 10 hours; NAWEC says it’s prioritising hospitals and water supply and expects gradual recovery by mid-June. Water Crisis & Tobaski Hardship: In Bundung, severe water shortages left families struggling during Tobaski, with residents walking for drinking water and paying for donkey-cart deliveries as taps stay dry for weeks. Malaria Research Breakthrough: Researchers report they’ve successfully frozen and revived Anopheles gambiae larvae, a step that could help store malaria-control mosquito strains more reliably for future use. Neonatal Care Update: A new review highlights that “immediate” kangaroo mother care for preterm or low-birth-weight babies may be safer and more effective than waiting, but adoption varies widely across hospitals. Health Policy Research Funding: The Thanzi Programme’s Centre for Health Economics (CHE) secured a grant to expand health systems research into Namibia and Zambia, supporting universal health coverage and health financing policy work. Gambia Accountability Spotlight: Commentary questions the choice of a non-Gambian Special Prosecutor for crimes under Yahya Jammeh’s rule, raising concerns about how “Gambian-driven” justice will be felt by victims.
