AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Power Crisis in Greater Banjul: NAWEC says electricity imports have dropped by up to 60MW due to regional technical issues and fuel shortages, while domestic backup generation is still limited by maintenance and high costs—leading to daily outages in some areas, with hospitals and water services prioritised, and a gradual return expected by mid-June. Water Shortages Disrupt Tobaski in Bundung: Severe lack of running water has turned Tobaski preparations into a daily struggle, with residents walking long distances for drinking water and some paying for donkey-cart deliveries. Governance Pushback: Opposition UDP media secretary Saikou Camara criticises government performance across sectors including health, alleging corruption, mismanagement, and weak accountability. Health Research Funding: The Thanzi Programme’s Centre for Health Economics secured a grant to expand health systems research and capacity-building into Namibia and Zambia, supporting work on universal health coverage and health financing. Malaria Innovation: Researchers report successfully freezing and reviving Anopheles gambiae larvae, a step that could help store genetically engineered mosquito strains more safely and cheaply. Neonatal Care Update: A review highlights that starting kangaroo mother care immediately after birth may improve outcomes for preterm and low-birth-weight babies, though hospital implementation varies. Recognition in Health & Service: The Fatu Network’s 6th Heroes Awards honoured multiple Gambia-based achievers, including an award for health care. Tobacco & Vaping Warning: UAE doctors warn vaping can cause severe, even life-threatening lung inflammation in teens, echoing WHO concerns about nicotine products targeting young people.
