Gambia
- In spite of the global downturn, economic growth will remain robust, driven mainly by an expansion in agriculture.
- The country’s economic governance has improved but political governance remains a challenge.
- To address the problems of high youth unemployment and poverty, Gambia will implement a programme for accelerated growth and employment.
