Throughout the colonial period from 1900 to 2000, The Gambia underwent significant economic and social developments that were heavily influenced by colonial policies. The colonial powers, particularly the British, implemented various strategies that shaped the trajectory of the Gambian economy and society.

Colonial policies had a profound impact on the economic and social landscape of The Gambia. The region's economy was largely agricultural, with a focus on cash crops such as groundnuts, which were cultivated for export. This monoculture economy was largely driven by the demands of the colonial powers and led to a heavy dependency on a single crop, leaving The Gambia vulnerable to fluctuations in the global market.

Agriculture played a central role in the economy of The Gambia during the colonial period. The cultivation of cash crops like groundnuts not only shaped the economic structure but also influenced the social dynamics of the Gambian society. The reliance on agriculture for export created a divide between those involved in cash cropping and those engaged in subsistence farming, leading to disparities in wealth and living standards.

Efforts were made to diversify the Gambian economy under colonial rule. Colonizers recognized the risks associated with a mono-export economy and promoted initiatives to expand into other sectors such as fishing and forestry. However, these attempts at diversification were met with limited success due to various challenges, including infrastructure deficiencies and limited market access.

Transportation and communication played a crucial role in the colonial era in The Gambia. The construction of railways and roads facilitated the movement of goods and people, linking different parts of the country and enhancing trade opportunities. Improved transportation infrastructure also enabled the colonial administration to exert control over the region more effectively.

The evolution of education and health services in The Gambia during the colonial period was significant. Colonizers established schools and healthcare facilities to serve the local population, introducing Western education and medical practices. While these developments brought some benefits, they also raised questions about cultural imposition and the erosion of traditional practices.

In conclusion, the economic and social developments in The Gambia from 1900 to 2000 were deeply intertwined with the legacy of colonialism. The impact of colonial policies, the role of agriculture, attempts at economic diversification, transportation and communication infrastructure, as well as advancements in education and healthcare, all contributed to shaping the colonial experience in The Gambia.
