GAMBIA ELECTRICITY SYSTEM REHABILITATION AND EXPANSION PROJECT (GESREP) – Environmental and Social Impact Assessment

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.0 Introduction and Overview of the Project

The proposed Gambia Electricity System Rehabilitation and Expansion Project (GESREP) is to be funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB) to contribute to the Government of The Gambia’s (GoTG’s) goal of increasing electricity access through the provision of reliable electricity and strengthening of the institutional systems of the National Water and Electricity Company (NAWEC). Considering the aging electricity infrastructure and consequential transmission and distribution losses, the GESREP aims to construct new substations, rehabilitate existing substations and upgrade low voltage lines with the accompanying secondary substations and transformers. The proposed enhancement of NAWEC’s Customer Service Department through an increase in the number of Customer Service Centers and the provision of improved data management infrastructure aims to reduce the commercial losses that continue to affect NAWEC’s performance.

 1.1 Project Goal and Objectives

The main goal of the Project is to increase access to electricity through enhanced operational and financial performance of NAWEC. The objectives of the GESREP include: –

i. promoting social development through increased access to reliable electricity;

ii. increasing the billing and revenue collection capacity of NAWEC for enhanced financial performance;

iii. contributing to the rebuilding and recovery of the economy of The Gambia during and post Covid-19 Pandemic;

iv. enhancing skills and the institutional structures within NAWEC for efficient service delivery;

v. promoting healthy and safe environments for workers and the public.
