Increase community based non-wood forest&nbsp;products/services enterprises from 80 to 100




Increase the area of forest under community management from 50,000 hectares to 70,000&nbsp;hectares




Increase the % of wildlife protected areas for terrestrial&nbsp;and inland from 0.16% to 1%




Increase the % of wildlife protected areas for coastal and&nbsp;marine from 7.4% to 10%




Increase the number of communities implementing&nbsp;adaptive mechanisms from 10 to 100




Decrease CO2 emission from Btw 2118 to 2528 GgCo2e (2016) to Btw 967.9 to 1155 GgCo2e




commit to progressively introducing clean and energy-efficient modes of transport, noting that deployment of energy-efficient vehicles will produce GHG emission reductions of 40.8 GgCO2e in 2020, 114.5 GgCO2e in 2025 and 193.3 GgCO2e in 2030.




commit to introducing efficient, green, renewable and sustainable energy sources to&nbsp;power our economy and meet our domestic and household needs. The implementation of renewable energy sources will contribute to GHG reductions of 78.5 GgCO2e in 2025 and 104 GgCO2e in 2030.




Strive to maintain 30% of the total land area of The Gambia under forest cover, with further efforts to implement afforestation actions which will contribute reductions of 275.4 GgCO2e in 2025 and 330.5 GgCO2e in 2030




To reserve, maintain and develop forest land resources including mangroves ecosystem covering at least 30% of total land area which is capable of environmental protection  by 2019

To ensure that 75% of forest lands are managed and protected according to forest management principles and plans in order to increase forest resource base  by 2019

At least 20% of the total land area will be under effective forest management by 2015

The Gambia's Long-term Climate-neutral Development Strategy 2050, from Gambia in 2022

The strategy focuses on: the establishment of a policy and institutional basis for the wider promotion and adoption of agroforestry in The Gambia; the enhancement of coordination in agroforestry programmatic designs and implementation to promote institutional collaboration and technical backstopping; promotion of agroforestry knowledge creation, dissemination, adoption and monitoring for effective adoption of context-appropriate agroforestry practices at scale; adoption of investment mechanisms for agroforestry through wood and non-wood-based value chains promotion, including: multilateral environmental agreement, participatory forest management, protected areas, energy production through fuelwood; creation of an environment for inclusive participation of all stakeholders in agroforestry promotion and the associated value chains.

This Strategic Electricity Sector Roadmap 2021-2040’s goals are to transform the electricity sector in order to exploit new sources of reliable and affordable electricity and to achieve the Universal Access target by 2025.
