Barrow returned to the country on Friday after participating in a donor conference specially held for The Gambia in Brussels. The president and his team managed to secure $1.7bn from multiple donors to support the NDP which was launched in February 2018 – the first in the post- Jammeh era.
His return was met with a huge and colourful ceremony that saw cheering citizens line the streets waving as the president waved back from an open-top vehicle.
