The Gambia’s economy relies on agriculture (groundnuts), tourism, and remittances. Growth is constrained by infrastructure gaps and political instability. Government policies focus on economic diversification and poverty alleviation but face implementation challenges. Regulatory frameworks are underdeveloped, particularly in property rights and environmental protection. Society experiences widespread poverty, with limited access to education and healthcare. Climate risks, including unpredictable rainfall and coastal erosion, threaten agriculture and tourism. Healthcare services are underfunded, with significant gaps in rural areas.
