Information:
GAMFIDA, founded in 1997, represents its members who are small
scale fishermen who use mostly throw nets and West African
pirogues. The NGO's main mission is to enhance and advocate
for the advancement of the artisanal fisheries
sector and increase the capacity and cohesiveness of its
coastal / river membership through the dissemination of information
and training workshops.
GAMFIDA has a scheme to settle disputes which come about as
a result of fishing activities.
Finally the association runs a savings & credit programme
for fishermen in Banjul and the fishing communities and villages
in Brufut, Tanji,
Sanyang, Kartong, Gunjur
and Bakau.
