AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

UN Map Overhaul: The UN General Assembly backed Togo- and African Union-led “Correct the Map” resolution, urging governments, schools and tech firms to use equal-area projections like Equal Earth that show Africa at its true scale; 164 countries voted in favour, the US opposed, and the move is non-binding (Mercator can still be used for navigation). Climate Finance for Farmers: Uganda is set to benefit from a $200m (about Shs755bn) ARCAFIM scheme launched at the Africa Food Systems Forum, targeting smallholders and rural MSMEs across Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda with support for irrigation, water harvesting, storage, renewable energy and climate-resilient agro-processing. Dangote Refinery IPO Cleared: Nigeria’s SEC approved Dangote Refinery’s IPO, potentially raising about N2.15tn, with the offer expected to open September 14. Kenya vs Tata Chemicals: Kenya ordered Tata Chemicals to “pack and go” from Lake Magadi, citing unpaid royalties and failure to deliver local benefits; the company says it is compliant and awaits review. Uganda Agritech Win: SANDI AI Technologies won the GoGettaz Agripreneur Prize, taking about Shs190m to expand AI-driven agricultural finance for smallholders. Pan-Arab Media Deal: Egypt’s MAD Solutions partnered with IRTH to develop and produce pan-Arab drama for regional and international markets. Corruption Court Case: EFCC arraigned two people in Lagos over alleged £110,000 and ₦500m fraud, with the matter adjourned for bail hearing. Remittances Expansion: JN Money Services partnered with Africa’s WapiPay to expand cross-border transfers and trade-linked payments into Jamaica.
