Since 2020, the Multi-Country Covid-19 Crisis Response Program has strengthened the health system in Gambia. Significant health infrastructure has been built to contain possible waves of coronavirus infections and deal with potential communicable disease threats that could cause outbreaks in this West African country.
The $14.1 million in funding received for the project was split into two loans of $7.05 million each, one from the African Development Fund, the concessional funding arm of the African Development Bank Group, and the other from the Fragile States Facility.
