AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoEducation & Skills: The UAE’s International Student Scholarship Programme (launched in 2016) has supported 668 students from seven MENA countries, including the Union of the Comoros, with 338 graduates; engineering and technology lead the fields, and current students receive tuition, monthly allowances and extra benefits. STEM Outreach: Comoros hosted AnEmpoweredGirl, which delivered GaCo’s “STEM Waypoints” lessons to 30+ students using LEGO Top Spinner kits and circuit-teaching “Sticky-Stickies.” Health Systems & Data: SADC states met in Harare to push stronger implementation, monitoring and reporting for sexual and reproductive health and rights—Comoros was the only member state not represented. Maritime Security & Trade: New reporting highlights how small, unregistered vessels and Russia’s “shadow fleet” exploit weak shipping oversight and registries, enabling oil flows and sea crimes—an issue with direct knock-on effects for regional shipping routes. Digital Finance: MEXC data shows storage and memory stock futures dominating during U.S. tech earnings, while spot trading activity surged as BTC topped $80,000. Heritage & Conservation: UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee added 25 sites, including Comoros’ first inscription, and announced a SIDS strategy for 2026–2034.
