Africa) 1.8 million Area Ethnic Diversity and languages 11,295 sq. km (4361 sq. miles) Official Language: English Other Languages: Mandinka, Wollof, Fula, Jola, Sarahule, Serer, Manjago, Creole Capital (known as Aku) Banjul French is spoken quite widely. In addition, some staff in hotels, restaurants and excursion agencies speak other languages including German, Italian, Dutch, Currency French and the Scandinavian languages. Dalasi (GMD), pronounced da-la-si Religious Tolerance and Diversity Time Zone The Gambia is one of the most religious tolerant nations in the world. Indeed, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) most people are inter-related, regardless of their religious backgrounds; it is not uncommon to find Muslims and Christians married to each other, or closely connected. Religious days and feasts – both Christian and Muslim - are celebrated nationally. This has been the case since time immemorial, and continues today. Muslims account for 85% of the population. The other 15% is comprised of Christians and practitioners of other African traditional religions. Economic Activity Tourism is a major industry in The Gambia. Others include agriculture, agro Climate processing, fisheries, livestock, manufacturing and pertroleum. The country enjoys virtually uninterrupted sunshine and high daytime temperatures with almost no rainfall from November to June. From July to October the humidity level is high, and the sunshine is punctuated by heavy tropical showers. Brief History of The Gambia Archaeological evidence, in particular the Wassu Stone Circle, shows that people have been living in the region since 500 BC Around 1200 saw the first migration of the Fula to the region; they now account for about 20% of Gambia’s population. Between 1400 and 1600 the region fell under the Mali Empire, the first of the great empires in West Africa to reach the Atlantic coast. The Malinke (Mandinka) ruled, a subset of the Mandé peoples who are spread across West Africa, and are now the dominant ethnic group in The Gambia. Towards the end of the 16th century, the region came under the control of the Songhai Empire, but incursions by forces from Morocco, and then the arrival of Portuguese traders quickened its collapse. The Portuguese, British and French all tried to claim the region as part of their colonial empire; Britain gained the narrow tongue of land which was sandwiched within French territory.

  • 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.

  • Emergency Operation in April to Provide Emergency Food Assistance to 62,500 People in the Five Most-Affected Districts
    1 EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE FOR DROUGHT-AFFECTED POPULATIONS IN THE GAMBIA Number of beneficiaries 206,000 Duration of project 5 months (June – October 2012) WFP food tonnage 13,169 mt Cost (United States dollars) WFP food cost US$6,910,868 Total cost to WFP US$10,778,577 A severe drought has led to a substantial crop failure in most of the Gambia. A joint post-harvest assessment led by the Ministry of Agriculture and WFP indicates that 520,000 people living in rural districts are seriously affected and need emergency food assistance or livelihoods support. Drought-affected populations face both reduced food availability due to their own production being less and reduced food access due to the loss of income from failed groundnut crops and high food prices. The Government declared a national food and seed emergency in March 2012 and requested urgent humanitarian assistance. The United Nations Country Team has already mobilized US$4.8 million through the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund, for priority interventions including food security and nutrition, water and health. As an initial response, WFP launched a two-month immediate-response emergency operation in April to provide emergency food assistance to 62,500 people in the five most-affected districts. This five-month emergency operation will enable WFP to provide food assistance to 206,000 people in the 19 most-affected districts during the lean season, with the aim to prevent increased food insecurity. To prevent any further deterioration of the nutrition situation, WFP also will also target 17,000 children in regions with a high prevalence of acute malnutrition.

  • The History of Banjul, the Gambia, 1816 -1965
    HEART OF BANJUL: THE HISTORY OF BANJUL, THE GAMBIA, 1816 -1965 By Matthew James Park A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History- Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT HEART OF BANJUL: THE HISTORY OF BANJUL, THE GAMBIA, 1816-1965 By Matthew James Park This dissertation is a history of Banjul (formerly Bathurst), the capital city of The Gambia during the period of colonial rule. It is the first dissertation-length history of the city. “Heart of Banjul” engages with the history of Banjul (formerly Bathurst); the capital city of The Gambia. Based on a close reading of archival and primary sources, including government reports and correspondences, missionary letters, journals, and published accounts, travelers accounts, and autobiographical materials, the dissertation attempts to reconstruct the city and understand how various parts of the city came together out of necessity (though never harmoniously). In the spaces where different kinds of people, shifting power structures, and nonhuman actors came together something which could be called a city emerged. Chapter 1, “Intestines of the State,” covers most of the 19 th century and traces how the proto-colonial state and its interlocutors gradually erected administration over The Gambia. Rather than a teleology of colonial takeover, the chapter presents the creation of the colonial state as a series of stops and starts experienced as conflicts between the Bathurst administration and a number of challengers to its sovereignty including Gambian warrior kings, marabouts, criminals, French authorities, the British administration in Sierra Leone, missionaries, merchants, and disease. Chapter 2, “The Circulatory System,” engages with conflicts between the state, merchants, Gambian kings, and urban dwellers.
