Gambian Communities Oriented on Climate Change
Communities in the Central River Region (CRR) north were recently sensitised about climate change at the Kuntaur Agric Station, in Niani District, CRR north. Participants were drawn from five districts across CRR north. The sensitisation was organised by Strengthening Climate Resilience of the Nema Project commonly referred to as 'Chosso'.
The main objective of the exercise was to orient and educate key stakeholders on adaptation to climate change in The Gambia.
Deputising for the Governor of the region, the Deputy Governor Alh. Malang Saibo Camara hailed the organisers for the move.
The Chosso project, he said intends to optimise the effectiveness of NEMA interventions against climate-related threats to smallholder agriculture and to ensure systematic mainstreaming of climate risk management in decision making and planning processes at all levels.
