Abstract/Summary

Gambia is the smallest country in mainland Africa where it is situated on the west coast surrounded by Senegal. It is a developing country where three quarters of the population live on less than one US dollar a day and depend on subsistence farming for their livelihoods. International assistance focuses on supporting the national poverty reduction strategy which includes economic growth and enhancing the capacity and output of the productive sector.
