AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 minutes ago

Deep-Sea Minerals: The U.S. and China are accelerating a race for deep-ocean minerals worth up to $16T, targeting seabed deposits like nodules, sulphides and crusts that feed critical clean-energy and defense supply chains. Digital Government: Cameroon pushes national interoperability for digital public services, a move Madagascar watchers will recognize as the next step beyond fragmented systems. SADC Industrial Push: At the Durban summit, leaders urged faster regional integration and a shift from exporting raw minerals to processing them locally—while Ramaphosa called for fewer border delays and stronger infrastructure. Madagascar Rare Earths: The U.S. backs Madagascar’s Ampasindava rare-earth project with pilot funding, aiming to diversify away from China-controlled supply chains. Satellite Connectivity: Airtel Africa and Starlink launched direct-to-phone satellite service in DR Congo, extending coverage using compatible smartphones. Health Tech & Access: WHO confirmed polio type 2 outbreaks ended in five African countries, and new research highlights major global health-worker shortages—Madagascar included. Bio-Inspired Robotics: Scientists developed an underwater “cyborg” cockroach diving suit, showing how insect control tech can reach places robots can’t.
