AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoClimate & Energy: A new Climate Impact Lab report warns Ghana is trapped in a “Mortality-Cooling Trap,” where rising heat will outpace electricity growth—projecting about 19 extra heat-related deaths per 100,000 people by 2050, with thousands more deaths yearly as cooling access lags. Climate Equity: The same research says most of the added heat deaths will hit poorer countries, where people can’t reliably power fans and air conditioners. Chad Policy & Mobility: In Chad, a push for visa-free entry for all African citizens from 2027 is framed as a real test of Pan-African promises—aiming to make travel for students, entrepreneurs, researchers, and tourists less like a privilege. Digital & Education Reality Check: A global literacy roundup puts Chad at the bottom, citing low adult literacy (around 27%) tied to limited schooling and low education spending. Sahel Water Shift: Coverage highlights a Sahel rebound as groundwater rises and Lake Chad recovers, driven by stronger rains that refill wells and aquifers after decades of drought. World Bank in Chad: Farouk Mollah Banna, the World Bank’s Chad representative, is profiled as an engineer-turned-development specialist overseeing a roughly $2.7B portfolio spanning energy, digital transformation, and infrastructure.
