AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

AI & Energy Race: A new take on AI competition says the real bottleneck is reliable, cost-efficient power—opening a path for Africa’s renewable resources to build “digital sovereignty.” Regional Deal-Making: Botswana and Lesotho pledged deeper cooperation through a binational commission, prioritising water, energy, trade, agriculture and investment under AfCFTA. Youth Digital Push: Lesotho launched an AI Skills Development Programme with US support, training youth entrepreneurs to combine e-commerce and AI tools under the Sebabatso ecosystem. Public Finance Reality Check: The Auditor-General flags CAFI as effectively stalled, with only 41% of its revised budget spent by March 2024, despite its goal to boost private sector competitiveness and financial inclusion. Fuel Pricing Clarity: Officials moved to correct public confusion, saying the Petroleum Fund does not supply petrol—it monitors pricing structures and the supply chain. Transport Cost Shock: A proposed 79% taxi fare jump is set to hit commuters hard, with disabled Basotho warning of a “triple blow” from the increase. Health & Jobs: Lesotho’s LNDC unveiled “Letsema” to create 50,000 jobs and grow 100 industrialists, while a UNFPA-backed maternal and child health investment case targets M2.3bn and “Three Zeros” goals.
