At EFSCRJ, we have launched NAWEC Watch, a public accountability initiative dedicated to tracking the investments, performance, governance, and overall state of utility services provided by NAWEC. The objective is to advance transparency, accountability, and efficient service delivery in one of the most critical sectors affecting the lives and livelihoods of Gambians.
Through NAWEC Watch, we will examine and analyze public records, including NAWEC’s own reports, National Audit Office reports, National Assembly proceedings and committee reports, commissions of inquiry, development partner assessments, civil society reports, and investigative journalism. Our aim is to provide citizens with credible information on how resources are being utilized, what results are being achieved, and where failures and successes lie.
Electricity and water are not luxuries. They are essential public goods that underpin public health, education, economic growth, national security, and human dignity. Yet despite decades of investments worth billions of dalasi and hundreds of millions of dollars, Gambians continue to endure poor and unreliable utility services.
As we have consistently maintained, the persistent utility crisis in the Gambia is not the result of a lack of resources or opportunities. It is the consequence of poor leadership, lack of vision and ambition, mismanagement, corruption, inefficiency, and the absence of accountability.
Follow NAWEC Watch as we follow the evidence, scrutinize the records, and demand answers in the public interest.
Join us by sharing information.
Accountability is the first step toward reliable utility services for all Gambians.
