AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Digital Identity & Trust: Birth registration and biometrics are being framed as the start of “digital public infrastructure,” with Rwanda and Thailand cited as examples of digitized civil records feeding national ID systems for better service delivery and fraud resistance. Tech Policy for Burundi & Cameroon: CEPI and the Free Tech Institute discussed how policy gaps, weak digital infrastructure, and limited financing are holding back innovation and digital transformation in Burundi and Cameroon. AI for Public Health in East Africa: The EAC and Germany launched AI4EAC, aiming to train 20,000 young people and fund AI solutions, including a new Ebola Response track for detection, preparedness, and response. Youth, Peace & Participation: Burundi hosted dialogue on the African Youth Charter’s 20-year impact, pushing for real youth influence in laws, budgets, and governance—not just attendance. Ebola + AI Skills in the Region: The EAC AI Alliance also rolled out an innovation push as cases rise in DRC and Uganda, betting on AI skills to strengthen resilience. Energy Access Debate: A new look at Africa’s electrification push questions whether mini-grids are the only answer, warning of funding and technology shifts that can mislead planning. Burundi in the Trade Mix: Port of Dar es Salaam transit cargo rose 17% in 2025/26, with DRC shipments driving growth and Burundi-bound cargo slightly down.
