AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoScience & Heritage: UNESCO has added six “rocas” plantation estates tied to slavery on São Tomé and Príncipe to its World Heritage List, and a new 10-year restoration plan is drawing private investors looking at tourism built on living history. Biodiversity Research: A “ghost” green mamba from São Tomé—first discovered in 1885—has been rediscovered in a Polish museum collection, giving scientists a rare chance to re-check its identity after decades of confusion. Connectivity Costs: A Broadband Genie study comparing 3,446 SIM-only mobile plans across 234 countries ranks the UK 46th for average mobile broadband cost at about $0.27 per 1GB, highlighting how pricing methods and data limits can skew comparisons. Social Science: An Afrobarometer Pan-Africa Profile finds broad social tolerance across ethnicity, religion, and politics, but more restrictive attitudes toward immigration and fewer people believing immigrants benefit the economy. Water & Sanitation (SDG 6): UN-Water’s SDG 6 acceleration study says São Tomé and Príncipe improved access to basic water (about 80% in 2015) and raised safely managed sanitation to about 35%, with hygiene coverage up 21% from 2015 to 2024.
