Description

Gambia - PPF Gambia Agriculture Transformation Program (GATP) - Project Completion Report

The Project Development Objective (PDO) of The Gambia Agricultural Transformation Programme (GATP) is highly relevant to the country’s development needs and strategic priorities. The program aims to drive inclusive economic growth by increasing the agriculture sector’s contribution to the national economy, while improving food and nutrition security, reducing poverty, and creating employment, particularly for youth and women. This objective directly addresses the structural challenges of The Gambia’s economy, where agriculture remains central to livelihoods but is constrained by low productivity, weak value addition, and high vulnerability to climate and market shock.

The initiative aligns with the Strategy for Agricultural Transformation in Africa (2016–2025) and strengthens the linkages between the AfDB High-5s, while scaling up the Bank’s Ten-Year Strategy (2013–2022). It is also well anchored in national policy frameworks, including The Gambia’s National Development Plan and sectoral agricultural strategies, ensuring strong country ownership and policy coherence.

tender Background

About the Funding Agency

The African Development Bank is a regional multilateral development finance institution, established in 1963, with a mandate to further economic development and social progress of African countries, individually and collectively. 80 member countries including all the 54 African countries and 26 non-African countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia own the Bank. 

The Bank's principal functions include:
  1. using its resources for the financing of investment projects and programs relating to the economic and social development of its Regional Member Countries (RMCs);
  2. the provision of technical assistance for the preparation and execution of development projects and programs;
  3. promoting investment in Africa of public and private capital for development purposes; and (iv) to respond to requests for assistance in coordinating development policies and plans of RMCs. In its operations, the Bank is also required to give special attention to projects and programs that promote regional integration.
The Bank began its operations from its headquarters, in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire on July 1, 1966. For the purpose of its operations, the Bank also maintains Regional Resource Centers and Field Offices within RMCs.
 
For projects financed by the Bank resources, the charter requires suppliers for contracts for institutional activities and projects to be nationals of a member country. Only bidders from a member country of the Bank are eligible to participate in the procurement process. For goods to be eligible, they must originate from a member country.

The Gambia is investing in strategic infrastructure through regional partnerships and renewable energy projects, aiming to improve energy security and connectivity. A notable initiative is the planned 150 MW Soma Solar Power Station - co-financed by the World Bank and European Investment Bank - which is designed to stabilize the national grid and integrate with the West African Power Pool, supporting broader electrification and economic growth goals.
