AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

El Niño Preparedness: FAO and WFP launched a first-ever Joint Anticipatory Action Appeal seeking US$202m to protect 8.8 million people in 22 high-risk countries, including Madagascar, from droughts, floods and storms expected as El Niño strengthens in late 2026. Food Security Warning: In a separate UN report, FAO/WFP warned acute hunger will worsen across 13 hotspots between June and November 2026, adding Nigeria and Somalia to the highest-risk list and naming Madagascar among countries where famine risk could rise. Ocean Governance: African and Commonwealth nations urged swift implementation of the new High Seas Treaty, saying ocean protection still exists “on paper,” as satellite images show freshwater sources disappearing. Renewables Finance: AXIAN Energy secured a US$60m financing facility with Mauritius Commercial Bank to expand solar development across African markets. Trade & Transparency at Sea: Global Fishing Watch announced a partnership with Madagascar to support vessel tracking and publicly share data from the domestic fishing fleet. Diplomacy: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will hold talks with Madagascar’s foreign minister Alice N’Diaye in Moscow on 19 June, focusing on trade, economy and cooperation. Currency Watch: A roundup of Africa’s weakest currencies ranked Madagascar among the weaker performers against the US dollar.
