The Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs (MoFEA) hosted a sensitization workshop on The Gambia’s Public Investment Management (PIM) Guidelines on Tuesday, 11 August 2026, at the Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara Conference Centre.

In his welcoming statement, Baboucarr Jobe, Permanent Secretary at MoFEA, highlighted the importance of the PIM Guidelines in strengthening public investment management and ensuring that limited public resources are used efficiently, transparently, and effectively to deliver lasting value for money to Gambians.

According to P.S Jobe, the Guidelines provide a practical framework for the identification, preparation, appraisal, selection, implementation, and evaluation of public investment projects and programmes. They also seek to strengthen coordination among Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), streamline the work of the Gambia Strategic Review Board (GSRB), and integrate climate, environmental, and social safeguards into public investment management.

The Permanent Secretary expressed appreciation to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), particularly to AFRITAC West 2, for its technical support in developing the Guidelines.

The workshop brings together Permanent Secretaries, project staff, government officials, and other stakeholders to deepen understanding of the Guidelines and promote their effective operationalisation across government institutions.

The initiative reaffirms Government’s commitment to transparent, accountable, coordinated, and results-driven public investment that supports inclusive and transformative development in The Gambia.
