32 and reform of state-owned enterprises. Households and the transport sector are the biggest consumers of energy in The Gambia. Currently, about half the population lacks access to electricity. Solid waste and waste management are notable problems arising from rapid urbanisation. Dependence on imported fuel oil has become a burden on the Gambian economy, and currently 98% of the power generated and distributed from the main grid comes from fossil fuels.3 Wood fuels are by far the dominant domestic source of energy in the Gambia, with 88% of all households using firewood, charcoal, or wood-based fuels as the primary source of cooking fuel. Several options for renewable energy remain viable options and in 2013 The Gambian government enacted the New Renewable Energy Law to implement a feed-in tariff for renewable energy sources, and to establish a renewable energy fund to promote the use of such sources.  Economic development is currently hindered by limited energy and transportation infrastructure which results in high logistical costs. Most of the economic burden caused by this lack of infrastructure falls on the private sector and, as a result, reduces its ability to create jobs. Although above average by sub-Saharan African standards, at least 60% of the road infrastructure across The Gambia is in poor condition because of maintenance neglect, contributing to the high cost of vehicle maintenance. In addition to the limitations imposed by lack of infrastructure, the country has experienced several external shocks including the 2011 drought, which reduced agricultural output and economic performance, and the outbreak of Ebola in 2014, which had serious negative consequences on The Gambia's tourism industry.  In spite of the high rate of mobile penetration, the country faces significant challenges in providing high-speed internet connectivity, notwithstanding a country-wide national broadband network and the connection to the Africa Coast to Europe (ACE) optical-fibre submarine cable system. This is acting as a drag on tapping into the digital economy.  We commit to introducing efficient, green, renewable and sustainable energy sources to power our economy and meet our domestic and household needs. The implementation of renewable energy sources will contribute to GHG reductions of 78.5 GgCO2e in 2025 and 104 GgCO2e in 2030.  Our transport system will be a major priority as we seek to create a modern, green/clean
