The Gambia wants private money for green projects, but its own rules get in the way

The World Bank looked at The Gambia's rules for green investments and found they make it harder for private companies to put money into things like food processing, tourism, and waste management. This means the country will struggle to meet its climate goals without changing how it regulates businesses.

The Gambia has big plans to cut carbon emissions and develop its economy, but this report shows its own bureaucracy is a major roadblock. It turns out that even with good intentions, unclear rules and slow processes can stop private money from flowing into critical sectors. This makes it harder for the country to build the infrastructure it needs for a greener future.
