AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoClimate & Health: A new Climate Impact Lab projection warns this year’s “Super El Niño” could add about 451,000 heat-related deaths globally in the first nine months, with the Sahel hit hardest—around 66,800 extra deaths, including 8,000 in Chad. Energy Access: Afrobarometer data shows fewer than half of Africans get electricity that works reliably; in Chad only 3% report reliable power, while many households turn to solar or other alternatives. Regional Tech & Infrastructure: On the Cameroon–Chad–Nigeria trade corridor, insecurity and crumbling roads are choking movement of goods, with attacks on the highway and kidnappings disrupting supply lines that depend on routes to Douala port. Finance & Tech Services: CCA-Bank is reorganizing governance to expand across Africa, separating Cameroon oversight from group strategy and pointing to growth across banking, insurance, financial markets, technology, and shared services. Humanitarian Pressure: UNHCR chief Barham Salih urged Middle East leaders not to give up on ending wars, warning that conflict-driven displacement wastes lives and talent.
