Mobile Phones In Gambia
Nice talking to you ... mobile phone use passes milestone reports the Guardian newspaper in the UK.
A UN report reveals that half the globe now pays to use one and Africa is the continent with the fastest growth, where penetration has soared from just one in 50 people at the turn of the century to 28%.
The report points to the Gambia, where mobile subscriptions have rocketed amid stiff competition among mobile operators. Out of almost a million telephone subscribers, there are more than 800,000 mobile subscriptions but only about 50,000 fixed telephone lines in service.
Developing countries now account for about two-thirds of the mobile phones in use, compared with less than half of subscriptions in 2002.

The Legal Capacity Building Programme Phase II (LCBP II)
The Legal Capacity Building Programme Phase II (LCBP II) is funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID). The objective of DFID’s support is to ensure that the Gambian legal system is strengthened through the introduction of incremental reforms that will improve efficiency and effectiveness, and will better ensure access to justice for the poor.
LCBP II is providing support to three main beneficiary institutions – the Judiciary, Department of State for Justice and the Gambian Bar Association – and the other actors in the sector such as the police prosecutors. LCBP ll will continue to develop the processes begun in phase l (2004-2007).
It will support DFID’s overall policy aims in the Gambia focusing on promoting human rights and participatory processes, and achieving better performance against the international development targets through the PRSP frame work.
If you wish to contact the LCBP II project office, please call +220 422 3477.
