The Government of The Gambia requested FAO Gambia Country Office support to develop a Concept Note and funding proposal on ‘Climate Resilient Fishery Initiative for Livelihood Improvement in The Gambia’, which was submitted to the GCF in June 2018.

Following the positive review from the GCF, the Country Office is requesting resources from the GCF to continue the development of the CN into a full project proposal. The proposed activities will serve as basis for the formulation and development of the GCF project proposal for the Fisheries sector. Funds requested will be used to conduct studies/assessments, and recruit international and national consultants to develop the project proposal in accordance with the GCF requirements.
