AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoWeather Warnings: A study covering Madagascar, Malawi and Mozambique found that although 90% of surveyed people in Madagascar received severe-weather warnings, fewer than half of those notified evacuated. Late alerts, doubts about accuracy and limited resources can leave people exposed. Digital Access: GSMA says policy changes could bring mobile internet to 1.13 million more people in Madagascar and add MGA 4.1 trillion to GDP by 2031. In 2025, only 14.3% of the population used mobile internet, despite 66% living within mobile broadband coverage. Wildlife Research: Measurements of 121 Madagascar flying fox specimens suggest the bats’ skulls have grown smaller over time, with researchers pointing to hunting pressure as a possible cause. Forest Conservation: Madagascar’s prized Voatsiperifery pepper faces growing pressure from forest loss and destructive harvesting, while conservation teams are working to reconnect lemur habitat with 150 hectares of native forest.
