Finally, the big milestone has successfully been convened. A national validation workshop on Wednesday the 22nd April 2026 at the NaNA Conference Hall in Bakau, bringing together over 60 participants from all sectors (Government, Local Authorities, Private Sector, Research and Academia, Farmers and Farmer Organisations, Youths, Financial Partners, and Relevant Technical Partners) to review and validate findings of the SoilProfit Groundnut 1.0 project.
We are grateful that this workshop attracted a broader range of stakeholders, including even International Partners from (TerraCalco Senegal). The gathering served as an important platform for inclusive dialogue and collaborative assessment of the projectโs outcomes.
The primary objective of the workshop was to present and validate the projectโs findings, while incorporating stakeholders input into the Stocktaking reports and recommendations for a National SCALE-UP. Discussions focused on ensuring that the outcomes reflect national priorities, NDP, NAIPs,etc and are aligned with Regional and International International Frameworks like the CAADP KAMPALA DECLARATION, the ECOWAP, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in the areas of sustainable and resilient Food Systems, Soil Health, Protection and Maintenance.
The event was officially opened by Mr. Ebrima Jarra, Executive Director of The Soil Solution, who emphasised the importance of Multi-Stakeholder engagement in advancing agricultural innovation and sustainability in The Gambia.
Participants actively participated, contributed and provided insights and recommendations aimed at strengthening the projectโs impact and ensuring its relevance to local farming communities. The validation process marks a key milestone in the SoilProfit Groundnut 1.0 project, reinforcing a shared commitment on Soil Health-Driven Intervention for a sustainable food production and resilient food system Nationwide.
We take the moment to THANK All our Partners, Technical Experts, Facilitators, and the Government of The Gambia through the Ministry of Agriculture for their Partnership.
THANK YOU ALL.
