Summary
As part of the Migration and Sustainable Development in the Gambia Project (MSDG), on 23 September 2017, the President of The Gambia declared that a Stake in the Nation Forum (SNF) will be held annually in The Gambia.
The SNF is a practical mechanism for diaspora engagement in policy development. It is also an innovation to improve general development policy and practice in the New Gambia. SNFs include high level plenary sessions and thematic workshops. The forums aim to bring together Gambians from diverse socio-economic and political backgrounds, and engage Gambian diaspora and migrants from different parts of the world, in substantive policy discourse. The proceedings and deliberations focus on practicable ways of implementing policies and achieving different aspects of the Sustainable Development Goals and National Development Plan (NDP 2018-21).
