AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoMaritime Security & Tech: Indonesia says it has acted against 1,210 vessels tied to illegal fishing since 2021, preventing losses estimated at Rp16.6 trillion (about US$895 million), and it points to a recent case where a shipment of humphead wrasse was concealed in a hidden compartment on a foreign vessel flying the Sao Tomé and Príncipe flag—prompting plans to strengthen maritime surveillance with advanced monitoring tech and tighter enforcement. Justice & Governance: A new Afrobarometer survey across 38 African countries ranks Nigeria among the five worst for access to justice, with only 28% of Nigerians confident ordinary citizens can get justice in court, and 59% saying they’re unlikely to get fair outcomes—an indirect reminder for Sao Tomé and Príncipe readers to watch court trust and judicial independence trends. Digital & Local Performance: Lagos State tops Nigeria’s 2025 State Performance Index, scoring strongly on revenue generation (IGR per capita and per trade route) and ranking high on internet penetration and digital access. Africa–Korea Development: Egypt’s foreign minister urged deeper Africa–South Korea cooperation focused on infrastructure, industrialisation, technology transfer, energy, and food/water security, alongside calls for more concessional financing. Health & Society Data: A 2026 Data Commons report highlights the highest alcohol-consuming African countries, led by Uganda at 11.30 litres per person annually.
