AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

HIV Prevention: Cameroon has started a pilot rollout of Cabotegravir (CAB-PrEP), a long-acting injectable HIV prevention drug, with injections every two months in Douala; officials say it is up to 95% effective and will target high-transmission areas, stressing testing, follow-ups and community involvement to reduce stigma. Inflation & Energy Costs: Cameroon’s inflation outlook faces a new threat as diesel import costs jumped 60.7% between February and May 2026, driven by higher global refined fuel prices, shipping costs and geopolitical risk—fuel shortages remain a key vulnerability after SONARA’s 2019 fire. Agribusiness Trade: Algeria’s MADAR Holding says it wants to import Cameroonian bananas and coffee and invest in cocoa and cotton value chains, ahead of the Cameroon-Algeria joint commission meeting in Yaounde. Banana Exports: Cameroon’s banana exports fell in June 2026 to 15,554 tons (down 3.4% year-on-year) as the CDC’s slump—linked to the Anglophone crisis—outweighed gains by private producers. Local Industry Jobs: Cameroon pledged an extra 10MW of electricity within 90 days to help ACERO METAL restart an idle steel production line in Douala, aiming to unlock nearly 1,200 jobs. Diplomacy & Regional Links: Canada used Canada Day events in Yaounde to pitch deeper investment and business ties, calling Cameroon a key Central African partner. Sports Spotlight: At Monaco’s Diamond League, Saint Lucia’s Julien Alfred set a world lead in the women’s 200m (21.51) and Kenya’s Emmanuel Wanyonyi broke the 1,000m world record (2:11.83), while Cameroon’s Emmanuel Eseme took third in the men’s 100m (10.00).
