AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Energy Skills: Energy Transition Africa (ETA) selected 15 “Cohort Zero” Pan-African fellows from 231 applicants across eight countries, including Madagascar’s Dieudonne Soatsara, to strengthen energy-sector capacity. Mining Update: Total Graphite paused production at its Vatomina graphite mine in Madagascar to complete drilling and operational optimisation, targeting a restart of over 1,000 tonnes/month from December 2026. Climate & Food Security: Action Against Hunger warned that El Niño could bring drought to southern Madagascar and higher cyclone risk on the east, threatening crops and food supplies. Regional Energy/Water Governance: SADC ministers met in Malawi to review peace and security, with Madagascar among countries in the wider regional agenda. Biodiversity & Industry Links: A report highlights Madagascar’s Darwin’s bark spider silk as a potential model for stronger, lighter synthetic fibres—another reminder of how local nature can inspire materials R&D.
