AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

UN Map Reform: The UN General Assembly backed an Africa-led push to replace the Mercator projection with a more accurate Equal Earth map, making Africa appear much larger; the US was the lone no vote and countries are urged to update school and public maps. Ebola Response: Tanzania delivered 52 tonnes of medicines and medical supplies worth about $88,000 to the DRC to help contain Ebola, including protective gear and equipment for care and transmission control. Sports Upset: Mali stunned Spain 82-73 in the Women’s Basketball World Cup, sparked by a big third quarter and standout scoring from Sika Kone. South Africa Protests: South African pensioners plan a picket demanding the Older Persons Grant be raised to R5,000 a month as living costs squeeze retirees. Pageantry Spotlight: Romanda Hombir was crowned Miss World Africa 2026, adding another major crown for South Africa. Energy Pressure: Experts warn Africa must invest faster in efficient, digitalised electricity grids as demand surges and losses remain high. Music & Culture: Fally Ipupa returned to Nairobi for a rhumba-meets-Amapiano night featuring top African acts.
