Food Systems Investment: Leaders at Rwanda’s Africa Food Systems Forum in Kigali called for decisive funding and better state coordination to turn progress into sustainable agrifood outcomes. Digital Finance Leadership: Nigeria is urged to lead Africa in digital finance and tokenised assets, building home-grown trust and regulatory systems to attract global capital.

Credit Rating Agency: Tinubu welcomed the AU’s African Credit Rating Agency launch on Oct 7, saying Africa wants fair, independent risk assessments. Transport Planning (Cape Town): Residents can comment on Cape Town’s draft integrated transport plan, including walking/cycling support and rail-backed public transport. Uber Exit Fallout: Nigeria’s ride-hailing sector braces for reduced competition and earnings after Uber winds down operations. Oil Naming (Uganda): Uganda explains how “Pearl Sweet” was chosen as its crude trading name ahead of commercial production. Manufacturing Boost (Uganda): UMA says manufacturing contributes 16.5% to Uganda’s economy and is central to jobs and value chains. Industrial Development (Ghana): DBG says it has disbursed over GH¢2.5bn, with many beneficiaries outside Accra and a big share going to women-led firms and agribusiness. Uranium Stake Sale: South Africa’s IDC plans to sell its Namibian uranium stake over exposure to sanctioned Iranian and Russian backers.
