AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Food Systems Investment: Experts at the Africa Food Systems Forum webinar say Africa needs bigger, smarter farm investment—starting with healthier soils and climate-resilient seed systems—plus finance, markets and enabling policies so farmers can actually adopt new practices. Climate Risk: The UK Met Office warns an “unprecedented” El Niño could bring storms and rain in autumn and winter, while raising drought risks in parts of southern Africa. Agriculture & Nutrition: Benin faces widespread child stunting, driven by malnutrition and misinformed beliefs, even amid subsistence farming. Regional Trade & Jobs: Tanzania and the World Bank plan to upgrade the Central Corridor into an economic corridor, linking ports and rail to agriculture, agro-processing and mining. Livestock Biosecurity: In the Philippines’ Bohol, officials tightened monitoring of pig imports to curb African swine fever. Security & Rural Livelihoods: South Africa’s Limpopo police uncovered a R600m crystal meth lab in Musina and arrested five suspects. Youth & Skills: Ghana’s youth skills and access to affordable finance are highlighted as key to turning the country’s growing young population into jobs.
