AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoWater & Infrastructure: Denmark’s ambassador to Ghana visited Wa and met Wa traditional leaders and regional officials to push a $5.8m water project with UNICEF and Ghana Water Limited, targeting clean drinking water for about 105,000 people via 120km of pipelines and subsidised connections for 15,000 low-income households. Oil & Gas (Gulf of Guinea): Petrobras has entered direct negotiations for four offshore exploration blocks in Ghana’s underexplored Keta Basin after Ghana’s Ministry of Energy and Green Transition approved its application; the talks follow Petrobras’ broader push to replenish reserves across Africa, where it already holds exploration interests in São Tomé and Príncipe. Maritime Security: The US Coast Guard kept 10 African countries, including São Tomé and Príncipe, on its port-security advisory list, meaning extra security requirements for vessels that have called at affected ports before entering the US. Regional Integration (Services): SADC work is advancing on Mutual Recognition Agreements under Article 7, with São Tomé and Príncipe among the few countries that have ratified the Free Movement Protocol, aiming to ease cross-border movement of service providers. Aviation Connectivity: A report says Africa’s 18% share of the world’s population accounts for only 2% of global air traffic, blaming high costs and inconvenience—an issue for trade links that matter to island economies like São Tomé and Príncipe.
