The Gambia has established a telephone hotline with a specific, dedicated number at the Inspectorate to record all complaints dealing with environmental issues. Inspectors and enforcement personnel on their routine inspections come across violations and instances of non-compliance with the laws. Violations include non-payment of fees due, failing to possess valid registration and licensing documents, sale of illegal chemicals, and cases of poisoning. This information is recorded in a database, which includes the date, description of incidence, name and address of violator, action taken, and action officer’s name.
