"Institutions are what stand between people and despair. When they work, they create safety, dignity and hope." From the streets of Kandahar to communities across The Gambia, @stbceesay's journey has been shaped by a belief that strong institutions are the foundation of peaceful, prosperous societies. In this powerful reflection, @UNDP Governance Programme Specialist Sainey Ceesay shares how strengthening accountability, rebuilding trust and expanding citizen participation are helping shape The Gambia's democratic journey. Because governance is not only about systems and policies, it is about whether people feel heard, protected and confident in the institutions that serve them. πŸ”— Read more: go.undp.org/pCQ #TheGambia #Governance #Democracy #Peacebuilding #UNDP #SDG16 #HumansOfUNDP

Powering the last mile. Transforming lives. Today, we handed over a 1️⃣2️⃣0️⃣ kWp solar mini-grid to the Government of The Gambia, bringing clean, reliable electricity to 5,000+ people across Sare Demba Toro, Sare Yerorie & Jamu Mballow. Supported by @UNDP’s Climate Promise initiative, this investment advances climate action, expands energy access for underserved communities, and ensures that no one is left behind on the path to sustainable development. #PartnersAtCore #SDG7 #ClimateAction

Advancing transitional justice is essential to building lasting peace, trust, and social cohesion in The Gambia. Today, @UNDP πŸ‡¬πŸ‡² and @ONU_Droits_BRAO with funding from @UNPeacebuilding, convened government institutions, civil society, victims' groups, and development partners to consult on the proposed Advancing Transitional Justice and Reconciliation in The Gambia (ATJR) Project, ensuring a nationally owned, inclusive, and victim-centred approach to implementing the recommendations of the #TRRC. Together, we are laying the foundation for a more peaceful & just future.
