Sixty-one years after independence, The Gambia stands at a defining moment.

With more than 40% of its population aged 15-35, the country's greatest asset is its youth. The challenge and opportunity are clear: connect education to skills, skills to jobs, and ambition to opportunity.

The foundation has been laid. The generation is ready. Now is the moment.

The Right Honourable Speaker of the National Assembly of Lesotho and his delegation, accompanied by the UNDP Resident Representative and the UN Resident Coordinator in The Gambia, paid a courtesy call on His Excellency President Adama Barrow.

Discussions reaffirmed the importance of African-led solutions, stronger regional cooperation, and innovative approaches to financing sustainable development.

President Barrow underscored the importance of domestic resource mobilization and The Gambia's commitment to financing its own development priorities while delivering tangible improvements in people's lives. He also welcomed continued collaboration and knowledge exchange among African countries.

The visit reflects the growing importance of #SouthSouthCooperation as African nations work together to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.

"Public accountability is not a choice; it is a mandate. When citizens understand what government is doing, why it matters, and see real delivery, then trust grows. When they feel listened to and engaged, then participation strengthens." — Hon. Dr. @ISMAILACEESAY, Minister of Information, Media and Broadcasting Services @Info_Ministry_
