AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Cocoa Sector Leadership: Touton’s cocoa director Antoine Delsart has been named chairman of the Federation of Cocoa Commerce, as West Africa’s cocoa industry faces price volatility, climate stress and lower farm-gate pay in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire. Civic Space & Elections: Côte d’Ivoire is under pressure ahead of the Oct. 25 presidential vote, with civil society and ARTICLE 19 warning that excluding opposition figures and dispersing protests could undermine free expression and election credibility. Gender-Based Violence Policy: Côte d’Ivoire launched a national commitment to curb gender-based violence, targeting a sharp rise in cases over the past decade with a zero-tolerance approach involving traditional and religious leaders, youth and media. Urban Rights in Abidjan: An AFP report says bulldozers razed the Campement (Koumassi Camp) neighbourhood on June 3 after a demolition order tied to a private individual using a fake court document, leaving residents homeless. Regional Integration: ECOWAS marked its 51st anniversary in Grand-Bassam with events on peace, regional integration and civic engagement, including Vision 2050 and early warning tools. Digital Push: Côte d’Ivoire says it will launch 5G in July and begin Starlink trials in July as well. BRVM Investor Drive: The Abidjan-based BRVM urged international investors to “come to Africa,” pitching the exchange as a fast-growing gateway for WAEMU markets. Cocoa Supply Chain Ethics: Tony’s Chocolonely renewed child-labour concerns in cocoa communities in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire ahead of World Day Against Child Labour.
