Adama Barrow faces the challenge of rebuilding The Gambia after Yahya Jammeh

06 Sep 2017  |  gga.org
Adama Barrow, who was sworn in as The Gambia's president in December, faces the daunting task of rebuilding a nation left in disarray by former autocrat Yahya Jammeh. Barrow's early days saw the release of political prisoners and steps towards human rights improvements, but challenges remain, including illegal detentions and a need for systemic reforms. The Gambia, one of the world's poorest countries, struggles with rural poverty, a declining human development index, and high youth unemployment. Barrow, who has a background in business, has promised civil service and education reforms, as well as efforts to address gender inequality and support youth employment. However, maintaining peace and security, addressing tribal tensions, and combating corruption are also critical issues that Barrow must tackle. The previous regime left the country with significant debt and depleted reserves, complicating the path to recovery.

This shortfall is attributed to underperformance in the agricultural sector, as well as challenges faced by the industrial and extractive industries. The information is based on early estimates by Senegalese authorities and insights from an IMF mission that conducted a review in Senegal as part of the Policy Support Instrument.
