This Strategy aims to mainstream agroforestry as a core practice for strengthening climate resilience, improving food security, and promoting sustainable livelihoods in The Gambia. It outlines key objectives, including establishing coherent policy frameworks, fostering institutional collaboration, enhancing the generation and dissemination of agroforestry knowledge, creating market-based incentives, and ensuring inclusive stakeholder participation. The Strategy references existing national policies and international commitments relevant to agroforestry, notably The Gambia’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPAs). Developed through extensive consultations with diverse stakeholders, it emphasizes participatory governance, capacity-building, and gender inclusivity. A structured monitoring framework will assess biophysical, socio-economic, and environmental impacts, enabling ongoing adaptation and policy refinement to effectively support agroforestry development.
