AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoFood Security Under Strain: WFP warns Guinea-Bissau faces a lean-season hunger spike as funding shortfalls force cuts, including fewer school meals (283,400 down to ~152,000) and suspension of specialized nutrition for under-2s, with ~130,000 people expected to hit crisis hunger levels. Power & Industry Link: The World Bank says its West Africa power integration programme has expanded electricity access to over 3 million people, built 4,000+ km of transmission lines across 15 countries, and is preparing a regional electricity market—good news for reliability and cross-border trade that can support local businesses in Guinea-Bissau. Regional Energy Integration Context: A separate brief highlights that Guinea-Bissau is among the West African Power Pool members benefiting from the same transmission and distribution upgrades, with electricity trade rising toward the 10–12% benchmark. Climate Resilience Funding: GEF council approvals bring Guinea-Bissau and other vulnerable states over USD 67 million to strengthen resilience through flood/coastal risk reduction and food and water security projects. Agriculture Investment Push: AfDB urges West Africa to cut its rice import bill, backing a regional resilient rice value-chain plan (REWARD) with early funding that includes projects in Guinea-Bissau.
