The launching of the strategic plan coincided with the commemoration of the group’s fifth anniversary.
In his remarks on behalf of Chairman of 3DGam, Alasan Bah, 3DGam Homeland General Deputy Secretary said: “Half a decade ago on this blissful and charming day, our dear 3DGam started the mundane journey of pure selfless with a vision of "Radiating Goodness in Mankind;" mission "to advance goodness in humanity." In this, we envisioned love, mindfulness, tenacity, and sheer gift of reciprocity.”
Therefore, he expressed gratitude to all partners and benefactors of the organisation in implementing its humanitarian services.
“Everyone has a part to play in the transformation roadmap we created that would be launched in commemoration of 3D 5th Anniversary in YMCA Gambia today,” he said.
Lamin Queen Jammeh, Minister of Information and Communication commended officials of 3DGam & 3D Global for providing humanitarian services to Gambians over the years, saying the organisation is significant in complementing Government efforts to enhance national development.
He said The Gambia Government under President Barrow has created an enabling environment for all development partners to contribute to national development.
“On behalf of the Government I thank you for implementing projects in the past,” he said.
Over the past years 3DGam also promoted and empowered women and youth to enhance their development.
Consequently, Mr. Jammeh said the organisation empowering women is a desirable by Government. He said investing in agriculture, most especially on ruminant production will no doubt enhance the country’s socio-economic advancement.
He assured them of Government willingness to work hand in hand with all Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO), most especially 3DGam & 3D Global.
Demba Ali Jawo, former Minister of Information said the organisation has helped Gambians in various social activities meant to improve their livelihoods.

He announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with several public and private institutions to enhance mutual interest.
Mr. Jawo, a veteran journalist said the organization is also embarking on cross-border projects in the quest to providing humanitarian services for all.
Former Secretary General & Minister of Presidential Affairs Momodou Sabally, who spoke on the role of NGO in nation building, said the role of NGO on nation building cannot be over emphasised.
“NGO plays a crucial role in national development,” he posited.
He said 3DGam & 3D Global has been doing fantastic work in the country that is meant to improve the living standards of Gambians.
“The NGOs participation to national development does not necessarily mean the Government is not doing well,” the country’s ever youngest secretary general and Head of Civil Service said.
