Sustainable Community Action

The Republic of Guinea-Bissau (Portuguese: República da Guiné-Bissau) is located in West Africa. It is bordered by Senegal to the north, and Guinea to the south and east, with the Atlantic Ocean to its west.

It covers nearly 37,000 square kilometres (14,000 sq mi) with an estimated population of 1,600,000.

Only 14% of the population speaks the official language, Portuguese. 44% speak Kriol, a Portuguese-based creole language, and the remainder speaks native African languages. The country's per-capita gross domestic product is one of the lowest in the world.
