The Ministry of Environment met with groups from across The Gambia to approve the 2025 Gender and Climate Change action plan. WACA project rep Mansanneh Landing Ceesay said they helped fund this work because they care about fighting climate change alongside gender equality. He called the plan a major step toward building a future that works for everyone.
Ceesay thanked the Environment Ministry, the Gender Ministry, consultants, and local partners for their hard work on finishing the plan. He promised WACA would keep backing such efforts because they strengthen communities. Gender Equality Director Mariyann Jabang praised the project for matching her ministry's goals of fair development for all Gambians.
She said WACA will help protect people often left behind, such as those with disabilities. Jabang stressed that women play a key role in climate-smart activities, especially in fishing areas. She noted that Gambian women need equal say in all decisions about the environment. The Environment Ministry's Project Director, Mariama Ndow, thanked WACA and promised they would use what they learned to create better environmental programs.
