And So Is The Gambia

National Geographic also listed The Gambia among the top countries based on their strategies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Like Morocco, the country is making the shift to get its electricity from renewables. The African nation is planning to do so with the help of photovoltaic plants.

The Gambia already has a 100-hectare photovoltaic solar park in the desert region of Mariental that supplies energy to around 70,000 people. Another one is in the works on the western coast of the country. These projects are the product of partnerships between the public and private sectors.
