The Gambia is a source country for migrants and a transit and destination country for migrants and refugees.
Since the s, economic deterioration, drought, and high unemployment, especially among youths, have driven both domestic migration largely urban and migration abroad legal and illegal. Emigrants are largely skilled workers, including doctors and nurses, and provide a significant amount of remittances. Since , refugees from the Casamance conflict in Senegal have replaced their pattern of flight and return with permanent settlement in The Gambia, often moving in with relatives along the Senegal-Gambia border.
The strain of providing for about 7, Casamance refugees has increased poverty among Gambian villagers. The government has invested in the agriculture sector because three-quarters of the population depends on the sector for its livelihood and agriculture provides for about one-third of GDP, making The Gambia largely reliant on sufficient rainfall.
The agricultural sector has untapped potential - less than half of arable land is cultivated and agricultural productivity is low.
Small-scale manufacturing activity features the processing of cashews, groundnuts, fish, and hides. The Gambia has sparse natural resource deposits. It relies heavily on remittances from workers overseas and tourist receipts. The Gambia's location on the ocean and proximity to Europe has made it one of the most frequented tourist destinations in West Africa, boosted by private sector investments in eco-tourism and facilities.
Unemployment and underemployment remain high. Economic progress depends on sustained bilateral and multilateral aid, on responsible government economic management, and on continued technical assistance from multilateral and bilateral donors. The country faces a limited availability of foreign exchange, weak agricultural output, a border closure with Senegal, a slowdown in tourism, high inflation, a large fiscal deficit, and a high domestic debt burden that has crowded out private sector investment and driven interest rates to new highs.
The government has committed to taking steps to reduce the deficit, including through expenditure caps, debt consolidation, and reform of state-owned enterprises. Skip to main content Go to CIA.
