AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

AI & Digital Infrastructure: Côte d’Ivoire is pushing to build a high-performing AI sector, with Prime Minister Robert Beugre Mambe calling for stronger data use, cloud and computing capacity, energy, skills, financing, cybersecurity and governance to scale responsible adoption. Cocoa & Climate Risk: Fitch Solutions warns Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana’s export sectors face heightened El Niño-linked risks during the Oct–Dec cocoa development window, with potential yield hits, higher food inflation and pressure on hydropower and rural incomes. Cocoa Market Watch: Cocoa prices eased after earlier gains, as larger Ivory Coast supplies and rising shipments to ports weighed on sentiment. Regional Mobility & Travel: Mozambique expanded Electronic Travel Authorisation access, including Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana and Senegal, allowing eligible travellers up to 30 days without a traditional visa. Sports & Talent: Moghreb Tétouan completed the signing of Ivorian midfielder Aboubacar Konaté from Stade d’Abidjan, adding to its squad rebuild after promotion. Business Disruption (Ride-hailing): Uber’s exit from Nigeria and Uganda leaves it operating only in a few African markets, raising concerns for drivers and riders amid tougher competition. Public Safety (Drug Trafficking): NDLEA reports multiple UK-linked drug seizures, including Colorado hidden in cargo and music speakers, with consignments reportedly bound for Abidjan.
