AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Sovereign wealth push: Zambia’s Ministry of Finance delegation visited Ghana’s Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) to study how to manage mineral wealth through a dedicated sovereign minerals investment fund, as Lusaka explores its own blueprint for long-term value and industrialisation. Energy & industry: UNIDO says Africa’s industrialisation hinges on reliable, affordable power and urges aggregating industrial energy demand to attract investment in renewable systems and local supply chains. Banking & recovery: Bank of Zambia says Investrust Bank liquidation is being handled under the law, with no preferential payouts to creditors or former employees while recoveries are maximised. Elections & governance: Police tried to block a Mundubile/Makebi roadshow in Kabwata but later allowed it to proceed; meanwhile, ECZ praised transparency during ballot printing in Dubai with broader stakeholder observation. Agriculture resilience: Malawi’s Water & Soil Accelerator programme highlights climate-smart soil and water practices to stabilise yields under harsher conditions, with lessons relevant to Zambia’s smallholder farmers. Health & vaccines: Gates Medical Research Institute and Serum Institute of India signed to manufacture the M72/AS01E TB vaccine candidate, targeting scalable supply if approved. Rural finance: Government and IFAD launched a US$49.9m project to expand financial services for rural producers, aiming to reach over 300,000 producers and about 1.8m rural people. Trade & logistics: South Africa’s road freight bodies signed an MoU to cut customs delays and border inefficiencies, targeting lower cross-border supply chain costs. Regional infrastructure: Namibia’s Cabinet approved a headquarters agreement for the Walvis Bay–Ndola–Lubumbashi corridor management committee to strengthen access to the port for Zambia and DRC. Politics, risk & scrutiny: A commentary argues Zambia should audit presidential candidates before elections to protect the treasury and reduce hidden-network risks. Leadership loss: Zambia’s former vice president Guy Scott died at 82; Hichilema has granted him a state funeral.
