2019 was the year of strengthened partnerships and renewed commitments for the empowerment of women, adolescents and young people, as it marked the 25th anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development and 50 years of UNFPA's existence. This report highlights UNFPA’s life-saving work in The Gambia in the course of the year to end preventable maternal death, end unmet need for family planning and end Gender-Based Violence and harmful practices and also shows the Country Office's UNFPA@50 and ICPD25 efforts to accelerate the realisation of the ICPD Programme of Action and ensure rights and choices for all in The Gambia. 

The report also documents human interest stories showing the impact of our investments in realising each of the 3 transformative results and highlights the work we did through the support of the Secretary General’s Peacebuilding Fund.

We hope you enjoy reading this document as we look forward to realising greater results in 2020.

Happy reading!
