WFP has 2 warehouses (food) with capacity of 2000 metric tons each. There is one non food item warehouse which has located in the Kanifing Industrial areas which is about 200 meter away from the Logistics office and has the capacity of 500 metric tons. These warehouses are already being used for development project (105480) to delivery rations to beneficiaries’ schools, during the rainy season precautionary planning is advisable. |

Gambia Customs Information
Most of the transnational transport is done via two routes. One is via Barra-Banjul and one is via Soma-Farafeni. The last route is used more often as the ferry crossing at Banjul can take up to a week without priority crossing. In general, it does not take more than an hour to cross the border. However, it might take much longer if the documents are not properly done. At examination areas Amdallai post, Farafeni post, Basse Custom post, Jiboro custom post.

Port Performance
The Port is accessible to conventional ships but there is a draft limitation of 8.5m at the channel entrance into Banjul which limits the sizes of vessels that can call at the Port. However, vessels have called at the Port with loads of up to 10,000 metric tons of bulk bagged cargo.
The Port has capacity for open storage of containers, warehouses, car port as well as storage tanks for liquid bulk product such as vegetable oil and Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). The lack of sufficient space provides limitations for covered storage facilities on site but the Port possesses warehouses located within the vicinity of Banjul and which are usually given to private operators on long term lease.

Container Facilities
The storage facilities near the Port can probably be used in emergencies, and they are largely unused as the Port tries to limit storage within its main premises in order to avail itself much needed space for the open storage of an increasing number of containers throughout. But it is not long-term storage facility, so they should only be considered in emergencies. For more information on storage facilities near the port, see the section on storage facilities.
PORT AREA
Several warehouses are located around this area and we attempted to visit them. These are big stores and there are not in custom bonded area. There warehouses are located less a kilometer from the main docking area along the Burn road. We could not establish who the owners are and in most cases, we dealt with the security personnel who could not give us any detailed information on storage capacity and technical data needed. There is an urgent need to make a census of these warehouses, their capacity, ownership and condition.
Our efforts to find the real owners paid dividends almost at the lat hour, three days before the end of this LCA , we managed to locate Mr. Hassan Akar, the Director of Midland Trading Group LTD. The Company owns and rents almost 90% of these warehouses in the zone. They use them for their own operations and sometimes there are forced to rent out some warehouses else. He gave us the estimated capacity, each warehouse can take up to fifteen forty feet containers.
This company is a major food provider and we recommend WFP to include them in their list of suppliers. They own a fleet of several DAF and MAN trucks, which can take up to 30 tons(total number of trucks not given)

There are three bonded warehouses at the airport rented from the Gambia Civil Aviation Authority (GRA), Red Coat and The Gambia International Airlines (GIA) respectively. The two handling Freight agencies are GIA and Red Coat and they handle up to metric tons yearly although it was reported that in the past year, there had experience a sharp decrease in fright handled which they attribute to global financial crisis. The warehouse capacity is approximately 1000 metric tons and is reported that arrangements could be made with the responsible authorities in case of WFP requirements.
The airport has the capacity to accommodate more flights both for passenger and freight services. GCCA being the responsible authority need to market its facilities to attract more air traffic to the country.

2.4 Gambia Waterways Assessment
Gambia Waterways Assessment
The river Gambia divides the country into two; currently the only way to cross from the north bank to the south bank is by ferry. The Gambia Ports Authority provides services for passengers and merchandise. We board the ferry from Banjul to Barra in order to try the service. We observed the flowing remarks; there are new passenger terminals at Banjul and Barra with clear signs and indications for identifying ticket sales offices.

Key Routes
The Gambia River is the biggest river corridor in the country. There are over 20 wharfs along the river and the barges stops a all wharfs located along the river up to Basse. Its takes 5 days to reach Basse including loading and down loading time. This time could be reduced if Wharfs are equipped with machinery for handling the cargo. Currently the work is done by locally hired manpower.
The river Gambia is navigable by sea going vessels up to Basse 300 km inland and further up by commercial barges. The river is a vital resource that can be harnessed to provide transport for both passengers and goods. Naturally we expected to find a number of commercial activities along this natural highway which can provide a cost effective and reliable alternative to road transport.

2.5 Gambia Storage Assessment
Gambia Storage Assessment
- 1 community owned warehouses
- 2 Government owned warehouses
- 3 Private owned warehouses
- 4 Warehouse on by NGOS
Commercial Storage
This warehouse is located in Basse 400km from the capital Banjul. This town is divided into two banks, the North Bank and the South Bank respectively. In the South bank side , the warehouses identifies as per above photograph had eight bins and each bin can store up to 700mt. On the North bank of Basse also had a similar structure with 5bins with a storage capacity of 700mt each as well. These are a privately owned stores located at the Kanifing Industrial zone. This zone has several private stores, which are less 5 kilometers from the WPF office. This location is in a very secure neighborhood and there is an easy access to the main road from the port and the road to the airport via the coastal road. There is no register to indicate who owns them so we did door-to-door inquiries to sample a number of them. Most of them are occupied, however according to Gilles Robert who owns two stores this has seen a declined in demand for storage space. He is currently building a third one and it will be available in September 2009. Were able to inspector his facilities which are very proper and well kept.

Formulation of policy on telecoms services (telephone, GSM and Internet services) is the responsibility of the Department of State for Communication, Information and Information Technology (DoSCIIT). DoSCIIT is responsible for the approval and issue of licenses, issue of frequencies and the collection of the appropriate license and spectrum fees. A government agency PURA (Public Utilities Regulatory Agency) was created by an act of the National Assembly to regulate the sector (in addition to other public utility sectors).
Although telephone/GSM services are available nationwide, there are some areas where low or no coverage are experienced for all the providers. The three operating GSM companies provide normal mobile telephone services (Calling, SMS). COMIUM provides GPRS services. QCELL plans to have Internet and video services as well when they launch.

Existing Humanitarian Telecoms Systems
All the UN agencies are connected to one single VHF and HF system housed in UN House, where WFP, UNDP and UNICEF have offices. UNDP, WFP, UNICEF and WHO each have their independent VSATs.
It will be technically feasible for WFP, UNDP and UNICEF to share each others VSAT connection, but some expert configuration has to be made since each of these VSATs has different routing configurations.
