The Gambia’s National
Assembly has today (Wednesday) endorsed a grant of US$31.9M
‘emergency electric power supply programme’ meant for rehabilitation and maintenance of diesel generators and
auxiliary equipment, fuel and lubricant procurement, and capacity building
support to project management.
The programme will also
address payment preparation, monitoring and coordination cost by the implementing
agency, West Africa Power Pool (WAPP).
Meant
for the Greater Banjul, a densely populated area, the agreement signed on
December 16, 2013 between the Government of The Gambia and the ECOWAS Commission
is expected to address erratic power supply.
