AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Ecosystem Security Debate: A UK Joint Intelligence Committee report (still only released in redacted form) links ecosystem collapse to national security risks, including conflict, migration, higher pandemic risk, and food-and-water shortages—Green Party leader Zack Polanski is now pushing the government to publish the full unredacted document, citing fragile food systems and government “stock up” messaging. Space Race Funding: Africa’s space budgets are rising fast, with national programs expanding beyond a handful of countries; Rwanda’s push for satellites and ground infrastructure is highlighted alongside calls for African nations to contribute to science and decision-making, not just use space tech. Wildlife Filmmaking Tech: National Geographic is set to launch “Africa Earth’s Wild Home,” a seven-part series filmed across nearly 30 countries, including rare Congo wildlife footage and tool-using chimp behavior, with Wunmi Mosaku narrating. AI Lending Growth: Optasia reports strong momentum—revenue up and free cash flow up—while expanding merchant financing and microfinancing, including new activity in South Sudan. Congo Basin Health Tech: Congo authorities inaugurated a new Ebola treatment centre in Kisangani as the outbreak spreads to more provinces, with MSF running a facility designed to boost isolation and treatment capacity. Water Treatment Breakthrough: Researchers report modified coconut husk lignin can remove Congo red dye from water at high rates in under 80 minutes, pointing to low-cost wastewater cleanup using agricultural waste. Angola Offshore Deals: Shell, Chevron, TotalEnergies and others sign new deepwater exploration agreements with Angola’s petroleum agency, including seismic reprocessing and exploration drilling commitments. Ebola Outbreak Warning: Africa’s top health body warns Congo’s Ebola outbreak is rapidly spreading beyond its epicenter, underscoring urgent surveillance and lab capacity needs. Telecom Geopolitics: The U.S. backs Africell with a $99.6m loan to expand American tech presence in Angola and Congo, positioning it against Huawei’s dominance in Africa’s 4G/5G buildout.
