GAMBIA SCHOOL SUPPORT

Working with the Ministry of Basic & Secondary Education and local communities, we are helping to improve the quality and quantity of Early Child Development education provision in The Gambia. We assist schools provided they meet agreed standards. Our projects are overseen by an implementing partner staffed by experienced locals. All teachers attend our training program to enhance their skills.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
