AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

UN Cartography Push: The UN General Assembly backed the African-led “Correct the Map” resolution, endorsing the Equal Earth equal-area projection so Africa appears closer to its true relative size while North America and Europe shrink; 164 countries voted yes, with the US the lone no vote—an issue now set to ripple through education, media and digital mapping. Child Safety Online: UNICEF says WhatsApp and Facebook are the top platforms for reported tech-facilitated sexual abuse of children in Kenya, urging stronger safeguards like privacy-by-default, safer recommender systems and better detection of abuse content. Kenya Travel Tech: Kenyan startup SafSIM is pitching eSIM-based roaming that can cut international call, data and SMS costs by up to 90%, targeting frequent cross-border travellers. South Africa Election Tech Dispute: Ramaphosa says the ANC is considering Electoral Court action over alleged IEC “interface” glitches affecting candidate list submissions ahead of local elections. Digital Media & Talent: Egypt’s MAD Solutions and IRTH (pan-Arab drama) signed a strategic partnership to develop and market film/TV projects across the region. Space Comms Competition: Blue Origin hired 47 engineers from Amazon’s Leo satellite unit to build its TeraWave rival network.
