AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoDigital Social Protection: A four-day World Bank-backed workshop in Lomé is pushing West and Central African countries to modernize social benefit payments, with a focus on interoperable systems, stronger governance, and wider financial inclusion—building on Togo’s Novissi mobile-money cash transfers. Education Pressure: New reporting flags a worrying slide: over 100 million African children and adolescents are still out of school, with the absolute number rising back toward 100 million by 2025 even as the share improves. Migration & Rights Watch: Experts warn that people detained in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea—including Mauritanians—face imminent risk of being sent back after U.S. deportations, raising concerns about refoulement. Regional Health-Adjacent Policy: South Sudan’s President Kiir says he rejected a $505 million bid tied to influencing the 2011 referendum—an example of how political shocks can ripple into health and humanitarian planning. Mauritania in the Mix: Mauritania appears both in the Lomé payments push and in the rights-risk migration coverage.
