The Global Environment Facility partners with Gambia's National Environment Agency to host an Expanded Constituency Workshop targeting seventeen West African nations. Stakeholders will gather to learn about recent GEF programs and policies through this four-day event. The workshop aims to demonstrate integrated programming approaches that achieve large-scale environmental impact. Participants will explore cross-cutting themes that lead to successful project implementation and private sector engagement. Countries receive individual consultations to discuss portfolio management strategies.

This family of environmental funds serves as a financial mechanism for six multilateral conventions addressing global challenges. African countries have received support through more than 2,000 projects since 1991. The organization has provided $7.7 billion in funding while leveraging an additional $50 billion through co-financing arrangements. Fred Boltz emphasizes GEF's commitment to helping African nations achieve environmental and development objectives. The workshop represents an opportunity to strengthen partnerships across government agencies and civil society organizations.

Gambia joined the facility in 1994 and has benefited from various conservation and climate initiatives.
