AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoDigital Access: GSMA says targeted reforms could bring mobile internet to 1.13 million more people in Madagascar and add MGA 4.1 trillion to GDP by 2031. Priorities include cheaper smartphones, rural network expansion, tax changes and wider use of digital services; 66% of residents with mobile broadband coverage still do not use it. Food Security: About 3.7 million people face acute food insecurity, including 426,000 in critical conditions, as drought and El Niño cut harvests and push up food prices. Public Health: Madagascar confirmed four plague cases, as hunger and disease risks put pressure on already vulnerable communities. Politics: A year after Gen Z protests ousted Andry Rajoelina, a report says Russia rapidly expanded its military, political and economic networks under President Michael Randrianirina; critics say promised change has been limited. Agriculture: Chinese hybrid rice has been planted across 90,000 hectares, with reported yields two to three times those of traditional varieties. Clean Energy: More than £2 million in UK-backed funding will support clean-energy projects in eight African countries, including Madagascar.
