Bouy Hits the Road to Check Out Rural Projects

Public Service Minister Bouy began a four-day tour of rural development projects throughout The Gambia. His team first visited the North Bank Region on April 13 to inspect a community tractor, electricity infrastructure, milling machines, and a borehole project. The delegation plans to continue their journey across the Central River Region, examining combined milling and threshing machines alongside additional water projects.

The tour will take them to the Upper River Region for more water and agricultural machinery inspections on the third day. They'll finish in the Lower River Region, checking rice milling equipment before heading to other areas with threshing machines. Accompanying the minister are UNDP Deputy Representative Sabelle Tschan, Deputy Chief Alieu Loum, Permanent Secretary Pateh Jah, and Director Amet Sallah.

The Programme for Accelerated Community Development aims to improve rural living conditions through basic infrastructure projects. It targets five regions across the country: North Bank, Central River, Upper River, Lower River, and West Coast. The government funds these initiatives with implementation support from UNDP. These projects help address poverty and inequality in underserved communities.
