CRC’s Ba Nafaa project achieved a milestone in The Gambia Dec. 16 and 17 regarding improvements in health, hygiene and the economic value of fisheries products in impoverished communities. The United States’ Charge d’Affairs in The Gambia, USAID West Africa officials and The Minister of Fisheries and Water Resources presided over the signing of water, sanitation and hygiene management plans and the transfer of five potable water points and five toilet facilities at two oyster harvesting sites and two fisheries landing sites to local communities. The USAID-funded Gambia-Senegal Sustainable Fisheries Project (known locally as Ba Nafaa) supported these activities.
