The Gambia 2018 MICS Statistical Snapshots THE GAMBIA MULTIPLE INDICATOR CLUSTER SURVEY 2018 ©UNICEF The Gambia/ 2018/Noorani STATISTICAL SNAPSHOTS OF KEY FINDINGS Foreword The Sixth round of Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) for The Gambia was carried out in 2018 by Gambia Bureau of Statistics with technical support from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), as part of the Global MICS Programme. The Global MICS Programme was developed by UNICEF in the 1990s as an international multi-purpose household survey programme to support countries in collecting internationally comparable data on a wide range of indicators on the situation of children and women. MICS surveys measure key indicators that allow countries to generate data for use in policies, programmes, and national development plans, and to monitor progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and other internationally agreed upon commitments. The specific objectives of The Gambia MICS 2018 were: • To provide high quality data for assessing the situation of children, adolescents, women and households in The Gambia; • To furnish data needed for monitoring progress toward national goals, as a basis for future action; • To collect disaggregated data for the identification of disparities, to inform policies aimed at social inclusion of the most vulnerable; • To validate data from other sources and the results of focused interventions; • To generate data on national and global SDG indicators; • To generate internationally comparable data for the assessment of the progress made in various areas, and to put additional efforts in those areas that require more attention; • To generate behavioural and attitudinal data not available in other data sources. The objective of this report is to facilitate the timely dissemination and use of results from The Gambia MICS. The report contains detailed information on the survey methodology, and all standard MICS tables. The report is accompanied by a series of Statistical Snapshots of the main findings of the survey.

  • Community Forestry Conflict Management in Central River Division, the Gambia
    CASE STUDY 2 Who owns Kayai Island? Community forestry conflict management in Central River division, the Gambia By A. Dampha, K. Camara, A. Jarjusey, M. Badjan and K. Jammeh, Forestry Department, the Gambia and National Consultancy for Forestry Extension and Training Services (NACO) Edited by A.P. Castro SUMMARY Kayai and Saruja villages are located on opposite sides of the River Gambia. Between them is Kayai Island, whose 784 ha consists mainly of forest reserve containing economically valuable species and a large wildlife population.The people of Kayai village regard the island as falling within their traditional lands. In the 1950s, the colonial government, without consulting Kayai village, gave farm plots on the island to people in Saruja as compensation for land annexed by an agricultural project. Since then, several disputes have arisen between the two villages over ownership of the island. Attempts to resolve the conflict, including though court adjudication, proved unsuccessful. The latest clash was provoked by the government’s recent participatory forestry initiative, which empowers communities to manage forest lands. This decentralization of public forestry administration seeks to foster sustainable natural resource management, addressing shortcomings in the State forestry that has been in operation since colonial times. A proposal by Kayai village to set up a community forest on the island met with resistance from Saruja villagers, who refused to sign the agreement approving it. The people of Saruja feared losing their rice fields, gardens and orchards and their access to forest products. As in the past, public and forestry officials’ efforts to resolve the conflict were not successful.

  • Kanifing Municipal Council (KMC)
    Kanifing Municipal Council (KMC) Foreword by the Lord Mayor This is the first Strategic Plan for Kanifing Municipal Council (KMC) covering the period 2016- 2020 and builds on its experience, achievements, lessons learnt from its operations over the past years and contributions of stakeholders (KMC staff, Ward Councillors, communities and key public and private sector stakeholders, NGOs and diplomatic missions) as revealed during the strategic consultations prior to generating this plan.. The development of this strategic plan is a clear manifestation of the commitment and drive of the KMC to providing the conducive environment for unparalleled livelihood and development of the municipality, including putting in place the appropriate tools to enable effective execution of its mandate. Thus the KMC’s vision ‘A modern Municipal city with a high standard of living for all its people’ and mission ‘To transform Kanifing Municipal Council into an effective, efficient and responsive Local Government Authority that provides a well- balanced standard of living for all through the provision of quality services facilitated by a well-trained and motivated personnel, requisite technology and the active participation/involvement of all stakeholders’, set a clear destination and business areas that the KMC will focus on in the next five years to enable the achievement of its vision. Its mission has been further collapsed into strategic pillars, goals, objectives and strategic activities. The end of the strategic plan period 2020 coincides with that of the national development blueprint Vision 2020 and it is hoped that by that time, the Council would have been significantly transformed. Although the local government elections will be held a year after the commencement of this strategic plan, it will also provide an opportunity for orientation of new Councillors for effectiveness and sustainability.

  • Farafenni Dss, the Gambia
    Farafenni Demographic Surveillance System (Member of the INDEPTH Network) Profile of the FARAFENNI DSS, THE GAMBIA March, 2004 1. Physical geography and Population Characteristics of the Farafenni DSA The Gambia is the smallest continental country in Africa, with a land area of just 10 360 km2 (480 km from east to west and on average 48 km from north to south) and a total population of 1.4 million in July 2000 (Figure 1). It is surrounded by Senegal, with which it once shared a short-lived federation (‘Senegambia”), from 1982 to 1989. The town of Farafenni is on the north bank of the Gambia River, about 170 km inland from the capital, Banjul. The main road between Dakar and the Casamance crosses the Gambia River at Farafenni, which has a ferry suitable for heavy vehicles. The average annual rainfall, measured at the Farafenni field station in 1989-99, was 683 mm, but the relative variability is large (22.6%), with amounts in the 11-year period ranging from 515 mm in 1991 to 1000 mm in 1999. The Gambia has a single rainy season, extending from June to October, with peak rains in August. The vegetation is dry savannah, with scattered trees, but in the rainy season, grasses and bushes grow strongly. Rice is cultivated in the river bottoms and in the upland areas where millet, sorghum, and other cereals are the staple food crops. Figure 1: Location of the Farafenni DSS site, The Gambia. 2. Population characteristics of the Farafenni DSA The surveillance site is located in a rural area between latitudes 130 and 140N and longitudes 150 and 160W and comprises 40 small villages, extending 32 km to the east and 22 km to the west of the town of Farafenni (1993 population, 21,000).
