The Gambia Ports Authority (GPA) is planning to engage with the Sanyang community to address concerns over the ongoing ports expansion project, which involves the relocation of 461 properties and settlements. The community has demanded that all facilities of the deep sea port be located in the sparsely settled Tourism Development Area to avoid affecting any settlements. In response, the GPA has recognized the importance of community involvement in port development and is ensuring their representation in the project implementation.
