Last update: 6 hours ago

AfDB & Climate Resilience: The African Development Fund approved a $9.3m grant for Ethiopia and South Sudan to expand solar water systems, flood management and climate-smart farming, targeting nearly 80,000 people and training 100,000 farmers. Evidence-Based Policy: Ethiopia’s planning minister urged leaders to invest based on data and results at the 14th Africa Evidence Summit, highlighting stronger national statistics and evidence systems. Namibia Economy & Finance: Namibia’s financial inclusion rose to 86% of adults, but many still struggle to make ends meet; borrowing is increasing. Oil & Energy: TotalEnergies is moving toward a major offshore oil decision in Namibia, while Dangote secured $2.5bn to expand refining capacity and push further into East Africa. Digital Governance: Nigeria and the ITU urged African countries to coordinate positions on global digital rules, cybersecurity and spectrum management. Health Systems: WHO pledged support for Africa to strengthen health systems, stressing domestic investment and tackling root causes like conflict and inequality. Migration & Xenophobia: Ghana’s Mahama renewed calls for AU action over xenophobic attacks in South Africa; South Africa dismissed an ICC petition as “opportunistic.” South Africa Rates: The central bank kept interest rates at 7%, weakening the rand as inflation risks linger. Sports & Culture: CAF chief Motsepe backed FIFA’s Infantino; South Africa’s Banyana start WAFCON vs Tanzania, and Namibia’s Voortrekker yacht faces urgent restoration.
