AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Regional Power & Trade: The World Bank says its West Africa Regional Power Integration and Electricity Access Programme has expanded electricity access to over 3 million people, building more than 4,000 km of high-voltage transmission lines linking 15 countries and boosting cross-border power trade, with utility finance improvements and tens of thousands of jobs created. Energy Integration for Guinea-Bissau: The programme covers Guinea-Bissau within the West African Power Pool, aiming to launch a regional electricity market to cut costs and improve reliability. Food Security Pressure in Guinea-Bissau: WFP warns hunger and malnutrition are worsening as funding shortfalls force cuts during the June–August lean season, including reduced school meals and suspended specialized nutrition for children under two. Rice Import Bill Alarm: AfDB urges West Africa to move from rice plans to delivery, warning a $3.5bn annual import bill is draining foreign reserves, while backing value-chain financing including early support for Guinea-Bissau. Climate Resilience Funding: GEF council approvals bring over $67m to vulnerable countries including Guinea-Bissau to strengthen resilience, with projects targeting flood/coastal risks and food and water security.
