CONSULTANCY TO DESIGN A POVERTY MONITORING AND EVALUATION SYSTEM FOR THE GAMBIA’S PROGRAMME FOR ACCELERATED GROWTH AND EMPLOYMENT

The Government of The Gambia has long been fully committed to poverty reduction, and achievement of economic growth in order to improve the lives of all Gambians. Towards this end, successive strategies for poverty reduction and achievement of the MDGs have been developed since 1994, and a long term development blue print, called Vision 2020, formulated to transform The Gambia into a middle-income country by the year 2020.
Vision 2020 is being operationalised through a series of medium term strategic plans (PRSPs- Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers) which not only take into account the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), but also serve to link the medium-long term development objectives. Already, a second PRSP has been developed and implemented between 2007 and 2011. A mid-term review has been conducted for the PRSP II (2007 - 2011) during 2009. Government has also embarked in the design of a new Program for Accelerated Growth and Employment (PAGE).
The Mandate of coordinating and monitoring growth and poverty-reduction related activities, including keeping track of the implementation of PRSP and PAGE activities, has been delegated to the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs (MoFEA). In this regard, MoFEA will design a Monitoring System during the implementation of PAGE.
