Final Validated Supplementary Agriculture and Natural Resources(ANR)

This policy framework is supplementary to Agriculture and Natural Resource (ANR) Policy (2017 – 2026); and provisions in both documents are aligned. It is primarily focusing on the Natural Resources sub-sector, aiming to adequately sharpen the policy guidelines for decision making and implementation. This is compelled by our strong commitments in managing adaptations to the emerging climate change and accelerating desertification in The Gambia. As climate change begins to manifest itself with increasing frequency and intensity of hazards, the costs of natural disasters are rising, while the consequences are becoming more and more unbearable. This policy provides the framework for our overall direction in the next 10 years, and for work and decision making. It further provides an impetus to focus our efforts in implementing the ANR Policy (2017 – 2026), with a wider view and intent of contributing towards sector learning, policy and practice.
