AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoClimate Outlook: Southern Africa’s 2026/27 rainy season is expected to swing sharply by latitude under a strong El Niño—drier conditions likely across central and southern SADC, while parts of the north, including the Comoros, are forecast to see normal to above-normal rainfall. Water & Food Risks: The same outlook warns of above-average temperatures and urges countries to prepare for possible water shortages and pressure on agriculture. Regional Migration Pressure: France says development aid to Comoros and other Indian Ocean and Great Lakes partners will be tied to anti-smuggling efforts and “returns” capacity, while also stepping up monitoring and interception around Mayotte. Biodiversity Data Gap: A new push argues Africa’s herbarium collections—especially in western Indian Ocean island states including the Comoros—must be digitised faster so plant records don’t get lost and conservation decisions can be better informed. Blue Economy Skills: Tanzania’s Dar es Salaam Maritime Institute is promoting investment-ready training and research for fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, transport and logistics ahead of a major blue economy conference.
