AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Digital Life: Gabon has restored access to Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and WhatsApp after an eight-month ban that disrupted communication, business and online expression. The regulator says the decision followed talks with technology companies on content moderation. Heritage Protection: Gabonese professionals are among participants in a new Italy–Africa training programme on documenting collections, tracing artefacts’ histories and combating antiquities trafficking. Film: “Ben’Imana,” a Rwanda–Gabon–France–Norway–Côte d’Ivoire co-production, screened at the Nairobi Film Festival, marking its African premiere. Education: Gabon ranks eighth in a 2026 list of African countries by reported adult literacy, at 88.86%; the figures come from different years, so the ranking is not a uniform 2026 assessment. Travel: Loango National Park is featured among safari destinations to watch in 2027, with its quiet camps, rainforests and wildlife positioned as a draw for low-impact tourism.
