AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoPower Crisis in Focus: NAWEC says electricity disruptions in the Greater Banjul Area and West Coast Region are driven by reduced imports (up to 60MW) plus limited domestic backup due to maintenance, delays, and high fuel costs—leading to outages that can last over 10 hours daily, with emergency load management prioritising hospitals and water services while a gradual recovery is expected by mid-June. Community Health Impact: GALA warns the recurring outages are already affecting health facilities, students, businesses and households, and threatens a nationwide sit-down protest if electricity supply and accountability don’t improve by 19 June. Health Systems & Workforce: The HaPSNA meeting in Abidjan brings together health and civil service leaders from The Gambia and other countries to strengthen community health programs by integrating health workers into national civil service systems. Malaria Research: Scientists report successfully freezing and reviving Anopheles gambiae larvae, a step that could help store malaria-control mosquito strains more reliably for future use. Nutrition & Wellness Research Funding: The Thanzi Programme’s CHE grant expands health systems research and capacity-building into Namibia and Zambia, supporting work tied to universal health coverage and health financing.
