The Gambia is rated very high on the above table and as can be seen only 10
African countries are rated higher. Out of these ten countries, only 4 are
within Sub-Saharan Africa. For more information go to www.unicef.org and
check out THE STATE OF THE WORLD'S CHILDREN 2000. The report speaks for its
self and tells where The Gambia stands among nations of the World, African
nations in particular.
