Gareth ThomasDFID has not directly funded or been involved in the activities of the Child Protection Alliance in The Gambia. However through DFID's Small Grants Scheme, which is administered by the British High Commission in Banjul, we have provided £3,465 over the past three years to the Child Protection Alliance. This helped to support a capacity building project, an information campaign on child protection issues, and an assessment of member organisations.
