In his State of the Nation\u2019s Address at the National Assembly, the President revealed that sector personnel are now working with the International Institute for Environment and Development the Least Developed Countries\u2019 Initiative for Effective Adaptation and Resilience Project for implementation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is geared towards ensuring that 70% of climate finance reaches the intended communities, with four other countries,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n

He added that a project of US$45 million under the West Africa Coastal Area Management funded by the World Bank was also approved in December 2022 for The Gambia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project is meant to reduce climate-related disasters, such as flooding in the urban area,\u201d he elaborated. \u201cCorrespondingly, a 6.9 million Euro project, funded by the French Development Agency, was approved late last year. Its main objective is to support five marine protected areas and the communities around them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The President underlined that the \u201cMinistry looks forward this year to enacting\u201d the Biodiversity\/Wildlife Bill and the CITES Bill.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are at the Ministry of Justice for legal review,\u201d he said, adding: \u201cIn the same vein, review of the Biodiversity and Wildlife Policy and the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (2015-2020) has commenced. Further, the Wetland Policy will be developed, and efforts stepped up to fulfill The Gambia\u2019s international obligations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Borrow also said: \u201cIn fulfilling government\u2019s obligation of domesticating international laws and conventions and to strengthen the sector\u2019s management and regulatory frameworks, three important bills have been formulated, namely the National Environment Management Bill, the Chemical Control and Management Bill, and the Waste Management Bill. They are under review for submission to this Assembly thereafter.\u201d<\/p>\n

In view of the alarming rate of coastal erosion and other environmental concerns, President Barrow said his administration would adopt measures to promote the integrated approach to coastal zone management and address emerging challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe enactment of the Integrated Coastal Zone Management Bill will strengthen these measures,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn general environmental quality regulation and management to enhance the wellbeing of Gambians, I have reintroduced the voluntary monthly national cleansing exercise, Set\u2019settal. I urge everyone to take it seriously and participate in it.\u201d<\/p>\n
