The National Coordinating Organization for Farmers Associations in the Gambia NACOFAG in collaboration with the ROOTS Project supported the National Association of Food Processors (NAFP) for the conduct of Regional Consultations for the 6 Agricultural Regions and the Greater Banjul Area.

“The consultation will also pave the way for the preparation of the Association Regional and National Congresses through a decentralization approach. Before its Congresses, the event will also highlight the mapping and identification of the addresses, contacts, gender, and the three main products of each of the Processors. The establishment of Regional and National WhatsApp groups, emails, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook accounts are central to the Consultation. The consultation will also feature Regional Radio talk shows regarding the roles and responsibilities of the Association towards household food, nutrition, income, and employment security as well as stressing contract negotiations with the producers, especially for those in rice, vegetables, poultry, and cereal production.
