AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Transport & Care Access: Deputy Speaker Seedy SK Njie says a faster ferry will soon improve Banjul–Barra crossings after children’s delegates warned that unreliable transport delays patients seeking specialist care. Health Infrastructure: The same announcement points to upgrades including Farafenni General Hospital serving wider communities and Essau Health Centre expanding surgical services, especially maternity care. Climate & Flood Risk: The World Bank invested US$45m to cut flooding and boost climate resilience, handing waste-collection equipment to Kanifing and Brikama councils for Kotu Stream flood hotspots. Roads for Health & Markets: President Adama Barrow continues a nationwide development tour, inaugurating and laying foundations for roads in Upper Badibou and Central River projects—aimed at faster access to schools, healthcare, and markets. Malaria Research: New findings suggest malaria control may improve by using bed nets that deliver anti-parasite compounds to mosquitoes, targeting drug-resistant challenges.
