The Gambia’s Net ODA (% of GNI) experienced significant volatility, peaking at 33.4% in 1990 during a period of economic instability. ODA levels dropped sharply in the mid-1990s but rose again in 2017 to 19.3%, reflecting international support during political transitions and economic reforms after the end of Yahya Jammeh’s regime.
Recent levels, such as 12.6% in 2022, remain relatively high, indicating continued reliance on external aid for poverty reduction and infrastructure development in one of Africa’s smallest and least developed economies.
