The Kanifing Municipal Council (KMC) has been selected as one of 50 global finalists in the 2025 Bloomberg Philanthropies Challenge, receiving over D3 million (about $50,000) in funding.
KMC’s innovative proposal was selected from over 630 submissions received from 33 countries. The funding will allow KMC to test its idea and participate in the Bloomberg Ideas Camp, a workshop for city leaders and experts.
In January 2026, 25 finalists will be eligible for an additional $1 million each to implement their projects. The Challenge aims to support innovative urban solutions that enhance city life.
