tender Background

About the Funding Agency

The World Bank (USA) is part of an international financial agency that makes loans and grants to governments in low- and middle-income countries to fund capital projects. The United States was a driving force behind the founding of the World Bank in 1944 and it is still the World Bank's largest shareholder today.

The United States contributes to tackling critical international development concerns through the World Bank Group and has a long history of generously supporting the objectives of the World Bank Group and has been a champion of the International Development Association (IDA) which provides low-interest loans and grants to the world's poorest countries. The key U.S. priorities at the World Bank include a multilateral health and economic response to COVID-19, debt sustainability and transparency, promoting governance and fighting corruption, ending energy poverty and supporting a strong emphasis on accountability, transparency and development impact.

Gambia

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. Improving transport links and utility services remains important to attract investment and support inclusive development.
