AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Broadband & Connectivity: Starlink is now delivering faster median download speeds than most terrestrial providers across 22 of 23 Sub-Saharan markets, with Madagascar the only place where domestic providers still lead—an important signal for how satellite internet could reshape competition. Telecom Investment: AXIAN Telecom secured a €170M EBRD loan to expand 4G/5G and fibre in Senegal and modernize fibre infrastructure in Kenya, pushing digital infrastructure and inclusion forward. Biodiversity Tech: Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew’s State of the World’s Plants and Fungi 2026 report says AI, digitisation and data-sharing are speeding up plant and fungal conservation, while warning that many species remain unassessed; Madagascar’s specimen digitization is highlighted as unlocking long-hidden knowledge. Climate & Children: UNICEF warns nearly every child faces at least one major climate hazard, with drought and extreme heat affecting billions—raising pressure for climate-resilient infrastructure and services. Madagascar Research & Education: The University of Antananarivo marks its 65th anniversary, with plans for new campuses and student housing improvements. Energy & Industry (Madagascar): Ambatovy has resumed nickel and cobalt production after Cyclone Gezani damage, restarting key sulfuric acid and HPAL systems as recovery targets stable run rates. Renewable Concepts (Madagascar): A “Baobab Waterfall” ocean-powered project proposes a circular deep-ocean waterfall system to generate renewable electricity off Madagascar’s coast. Environment & Wildlife: A humpback whale carcass washed ashore in South Africa’s iSimangaliso area, with authorities choosing natural decomposition to return nutrients to the ecosystem.
