The Brikama Area Council (BAC), on September 3rd established a new partnership with the municipality of Grand Yoff in Senegal at a ceremony held at the BAC conference hall in Brikama. The partnership is in a bid to strengthen the relationship between The Gambia and Senegal.

Speaking to the Daily Observer, Sereign Modou Joof, Public Relations Officer of the Brikama Area Council said primarily the delegation came in a bid to discuss with officials on issues pertinent to the protocol agreement of the two municipalities to share.

Mr Joof said some issues were highlighted such as a protocol of agreement between the two municipalities and the way forward to strengthen peace, love and order between The Gambia and Senegal. “Environment and sanitation issues were discussed and it was agreed at the meeting that the standards must be in line with the World Health Organisation’s aims. We also discussed issues of culture and traditions”, he said.

He further confirmed that they also agreed that the two municipalities will come together to look for donor assistance to establish a project both in The Gambia and Senegal.

Mr Joof further asserted that the two municipalities will in future have exchange visits. He added that to ensure that the factors discussed in the agreement are realised, a technical steering committee has been formed containing three representative from Senegal and three from The Gambia.

“These people are expected to work on the agreement to see to it that it is executed to the letter”, Mr Joof concluded.
