AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Electricity Crisis Watch: NAWEC says Greater Banjul and the West Coast are facing major power disruptions, with imports cut by up to 60MW due to regional technical issues and fuel shortages, while domestic backup generation is limited by maintenance and high fuel costs—creating a shortfall over 50% and outages that can last more than 10 hours; NAWEC says emergency load management is prioritising hospitals and water services, with gradual recovery expected by mid-June if imports and repairs proceed. Health & Cost-of-Living Pressure: Justice for All has called for a nationwide sit-down strike starting Monday, 8 June, citing soaring fuel prices and transport fares that are hitting families, workers, students, traders, and access to health facilities. Governance & Public Trust: A local commentary warns that public institutions still struggle to deliver reliable services across sectors, including healthcare, while another UDP official alleges widespread corruption and mismanagement affecting health and other services. Water Stress During Holidays: In Bundung, Tobaski celebrations were disrupted by severe water shortages, leaving households without running water and forcing residents—especially women—to spend money and time fetching water. Regional Health Systems Strengthening: The HaPSNA high-level meeting opened in Abidjan, with The Gambia among participating countries, focusing on strengthening community health programs through civil service systems and health workforce integration. Malaria Research Update: Researchers report they have frozen and revived Anopheles gambiae larvae, a step that could help store malaria vector strains for future control efforts.
