AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Ebola Preparedness: South Africa’s Border Management Authority ran a second Ebola simulation at Beitbridge, testing early detection, notification and response at a high-volume land crossing linking SA and Zimbabwe. Aquaculture & Jobs: Norway-funded Samaki Poa is training aquaculture entrepreneurs via five hubs in Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda, boosting access to fingerlings and practical value-chain skills for women and youth. Food Security & Nutrition: Somalia faces a worsening malnutrition outlook, with UNICEF warning nearly 1.9 million children could be malnourished as aid cuts force closures of nutrition and health facilities. Water & Hygiene in Livestock: Burundi’s Bitare slaughterhouse in Gitega is short of drinking water for over a year, pushing butchers to unsafe sources and raising disease risks amid poor sanitation. Agribusiness Infrastructure: Uganda’s MMP Industrial Park expansion is slowed by unreliable electricity, delays in tax exemptions and a problematic access road, threatening new factory investment. Climate Risk for Farming: El Niño is expected to bring wetter, stormier conditions to parts of southern Africa and wider global impacts on agriculture and food systems. Trade & Investment: Ghana reported US$2.62bn FDI in 2025, with manufacturing leading project counts—an opportunity for agrifood value addition if productivity gaps are addressed. Sustainable Farming: South Africa’s wine farms are increasingly using Indian runner ducks for pesticide-free pest control, supporting regenerative practices and vineyard biodiversity. Regional Water Governance: Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania signed the Ruvuma/Rovuma Establishment Agreement to strengthen transboundary basin management for water, agriculture and fisheries.
