AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Fintech & Digital Payments: BanffPay (Liberia) secured a Payment Service Provider license from the Central Bank of Liberia, setting up what it calls Africa’s first unified Pay-In/Pay-Out API to help fintechs, merchants, NGOs, and government agencies collect and disburse funds through one integration. Culture & Science (Gabon): A new push around ibogaine highlights the sacred Bwiti link in Gabon while raising alarms about poaching and smuggling of the iboga plant, as researchers seek more sustainable ways to study its anti-addiction potential. Community & Faith (Gabon): After Eucharistic desecration, the Catholic Diocese in Gabon’s Franceville region ordered weekly fasting and diocesan-wide reparation, including Eucharistic adoration at Sacred Heart Parish in Lastoursville. Local Tensions (Gabon): In Daveyton, residents staged a “last warning” march demanding stronger police presence and calling for foreign spaza shop owners to shut down and leave, with reports of looting of street vendors. Arts & Heritage (Gabon in global spotlight): Louvre Abu Dhabi’s summer “New Highlights and Discoveries Tour” includes the Kota-Obamba reliquary figure from Gabon, spotlighting ancestral traditions in a new curated route. Health & Women’s Support (Africa): The Angel Blanket Initiative aims to deliver newborn blankets across Africa while equipping mothers with postnatal health information, with a fast start in Ghana. Democracy & Governance (Pan-African debate): A wider discussion asks whether pan-Africanism can survive democratic challenges as coups and term extensions reshape political life across the continent.
