The World Bank will disburse US$50 million grant to strengthen Gambia’s energy roadmap and expand renewable energy and telecommunication sectors among others, according to information gathered by The Point.

This came on the heels of President Adama Barrow’s meeting with the World Bank Director of Infrastructure for the West Africa Region, Mr Fanz Drees Gross, at the State House last week.

The US$50 million grant will help improve electricity supply in Greater Banjul and its surroundings, an official from NAWEC said.
