North Bank Farmers Develop Annual Action Plan.

KEREWAN, Gambia - The North Bank Regional Agroecology Platform met on Tuesday. They worked on an annual action plan. Action Aid International-The Gambia and Njawara Agricultural Training Center helped organize the meeting.

The meeting, held at the ADWAC Conference Hall, updated stakeholders on the platform's progress over the past two years.

Masamba Joof is the Executive Director of ADWAC. He said the platform promotes the use of organic manure, which can reduce climate change effects and increase food production.
