| Tlo historyczne | The Gambia gained its independence from the UK w 1965; it formed a short-lived federation of Senegambia z Senegal between 1982 and 1989. In 1991 the two nations signed a friendship and cooperation treaty. A military coup w 1994 overthrew the president and banned political activity, but a 1996 constitution and presidential elections, followed by parliamentary balloting w 1997, completed a nominal return to civilian rule. The country undertook another round of presidential and legislative elections w late 2001 and early 2002. |

| Ekonomia | The Gambia has no important mineral or other natural resources and has a limited agricultural base. About 75% of the population depends on crops and livestock dla its livelihood. Small-scale manufacturing activity features the processing of peanuts, fish, and hides. Reexport trade normally constitutes a major segment of economic activity, but a 1999 government-imposed preshipment inspection plan, and instability of the Gambian dalasi (currency) have drawn some of the reexport trade away from The Gambia. The government's 1998 seizure of the private peanut firm Alimenta eliminated the largest purchaser of Gambian groundnuts; the following two marketing seasons have seen substantially lower prices and sales. A decline w tourism w 2000 has also held back growth. Unemployment and underemployment rates are extremely high. Shortrun economic progress remains highly dependent on sustained bilateral and multilateral aid, on responsible government economic management as forwarded by IMF technical help and advice, and on expected growth w the construction sector. |
