The Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) Policy (2009 - 2015) (GOTG/ANR, 2009)

The Agriculture and Natural Resources Policy (ANR) is part of the Gambia's Poverty Reduction Strategies to operationalise its Vision 2020 via enhancing the capacity and output of agriculture with emphasis on producti e capacities of the poor and vulnerable populations. The ANR aims at halving the proportion of the poor and those who suffer from hunger by 2015 and 2020 respectively.


To advance poverty reduction, counter adverse climatic conditions and reverse degradatoin of lands, forestry is promoted (art. II.5).
