In The Gambia, a coalition of civil society organizations is voicing strong concerns about the government’s proposed 2026 Executive Budget. The groups warn that persistent gaps between projected allocations and real spending continue to undermine transparency and fiscal discipline.

They argue that these discrepancies pose risks to economic stability, especially at a time when citizens expect prudent management of public resources.

Several organizations are now calling for greater accountability measures, urging the government to align spending with national priorities and restore public confidence in its budget processes.
