AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Academic Leadership: Cameroon’s Prof Sunny Aiyuk has been appointed Deputy Vice-Chancellor at Botswana Open University after an open, internationally benchmarked recruitment process, with a psychometric assessment at the final stage—another reminder that Botswana is backing merit over connections. Africa–France Capital Push: At the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi, French President Emmanuel Macron unveiled €23bn (about $27bn) in investment plans across energy, AI and agriculture, while President William Ruto stressed “sovereign equality” and “win-win” partnerships. Botswana Economy Watch: Inflation fears are rising for Botswana, with projections pointing to double-digit pressure later in 2026 as fuel and transport costs bite. Business & Connectivity: BTC has launched “BTC Business,” positioning its revamped business division around secure digital solutions for government, banking, mining and more. Regional Finance: Botswana and Rwanda signed a double tax pact aimed at easing cross-border investment frictions. Security & Health: Mozambique reported arrests tied to international cartel activity, while donor-health system fragility is again in focus after USAID exit risks.
