Manifesto and Policy Agenda

A practical programme for clean governance, self-reliance and social justice.

For too long, The Gambia's potential has been hindered by corruption, inefficiency and reliance on external aid. PROGRESS offers a plan to overhaul governance, revitalize the economy, improve social welfare, secure communities and restore the promise of national development.

Our 7-Point Priority Agenda

01Cost of Living

Promoting national self-reliance so Gambia produces what it consumes.

02Elimination of Corruption

Establishing an independent anti-corruption commission with full powers from day one.

03Ending Wastefulness

Reducing government ministries from 20 to 8 lean offices and redirecting savings to public needs.

04Health Overhaul

Implementing a One Village, One Doctor policy and autonomous hospital management.

05Education Reform

Overhauling the curriculum for civic education, innovation and entrepreneurship.

06Local Governance

Replacing partisan councils with community-led Village Development Committees.

07Public Safety

Professionalizing security through merit-based recruitment and community policing.
