Crossing over Progress: African Improvement Bank controls The Gambia's jump into what's in store.

The African Development Bank has made significant investments in The Gambia's energy sector, resulting in improved access to affordable and reliable electricity for at least 70% of Gambians by the end of 2024. The bank's projects include an interconnection with Senegal, providing 50 megawatts of power to supplement The Gambia's supply system. The bank has also supported the agricultural sector, leading to increased productivity and production, particularly in rice yields. In the transport sector, the construction of the Trans-Gambia Bridge has reduced transport costs and improved the movement of goods and people. The bank's interventions aim to lay the foundations for socio-economic transformation in The Gambia, aligning with the country's long-term development priorities and the Sustainable Development Goals. As of March 2024, the African Development Bank had 17 active projects in The Gambia valued at $252.1 million. [Extracted from the article]
