AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Power Investment: Burundi’s $1.4 billion, 25-year deal with Weza Power aims to extend and upgrade 52,000 kilometres of distribution lines, connect 1.2 million households and businesses, and lift electricity access above 50% by 2030. More reliable power could ease a major constraint on industry and mineral processing. Regional Logistics: Lamu Port has received a second shipment of more than 154 pieces of equipment for the Dangote refinery, while Kenya plans to add capacity at Mombasa, a key gateway for Burundi and other landlocked markets. Agriculture Risks: Forecasts of heavy El Niño rains across East Africa raise concerns for crops, food supplies and transport as the rainy season intensifies.
