AGP Executive Report

Last update: 15 minutes ago

TB Update: The Gambia recorded an 8% drop in tuberculosis notifications in 2025 (2,860 in 2024 to 2,627 in 2025), but health officials say the country is still far from End TB targets, with only about a 20% cut in incidence and 21% fewer TB deaths since 2015; TB incidence is estimated at 138 per 100,000 and mortality at 21 per 100,000, with multidrug-resistant TB incidence at 8.1 per 100,000. Child Protection in Court: In a Banjul High Court child rape trial, the victim’s mother testified that the 9-year-old attends school and madrasa near home, and that the child is cared for by a 19-year-old niece on school days while the father works night shifts. Power & Health Risk: NAWEC’s electricity debt figures are being debated, with claims of a smaller current liability (about US$37m to Senelec plus US$21m to Guinea’s EDG), as the country continues navigating power supply disruptions and recovery plans. Halal Standards for Health & Trade: SMIIC is running awareness and training in Banjul to strengthen The Gambia’s halal quality infrastructure, aiming for internationally recognized certification and testing systems that can support consumer protection and health-related food safety expectations.
