Gambia’s Land Commission: Minister Bah considers harnessing success stories of Ghana and Sierra Leone.

 

The Gambia’s land sector is set for a major shake-up as government considers either expanding the mandate of the Land Commission or replacing it entirely with a new National Lands and Surveys Agency, Minister of Lands and Religious Affairs Hamat Bah has revealed.

Speaking today at a press conference in Banjul, Mr Bah said the National Land Policy provides a clear framework for reform but warned that its success depends on creating a strong, well-resourced and technically competent institution to drive implementation.

He said lessons from study tours to Ghana and Sierra Leone showed that while all three countries have land commissions, The Gambia’s commission has a more limited mandate and operational capacity.

“In Ghana and Sierra Leone, land commissions operate with fully functional secretariats and specialised technical departments, supported by decentralised regional and district structures,” he said, noting that Ghana’s model stands out for its clear division of duties and institutional autonomy.

Mr Bah explained that government is currently weighing two institutional options.
