AGP Executive Report

Last update: 27 minutes ago

Power Investment: Burundi has signed a $1.4 billion, 25-year deal with US-backed Weza Power to expand electricity distribution, targeting 1.2 million household and business connections and access for eight million people. The project includes 52,000 kilometres of new or upgraded lines and is expected to create jobs while easing a major constraint on industry and mining. Business Finance: CRDB Bank secured $111 million in financing, including funds to expand lending to small businesses and support affordable housing; $10 million of the housing facility is earmarked for its DRC operations. Animal Health: IGAD and regional partners are training laboratory auditors to improve disease detection and cross-border surveillance, helping countries identify animal-borne threats before they spread to people.
