AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Banking & Consumer Credit: FirstBank Sierra Leone and Icona London launched a “Shop Pay Small-Small” salary-based asset financing scheme, letting salaried customers buy home appliances and electronics with flexible repayments—also extending to bank staff. Workplace Safety: A new multi-country study finds sexual harassment is widespread in media workplaces: 29% of media professionals report experiencing it, and 69% of cases go unreported, with women hit hardest. Fisheries Under Pressure: Mangrove loss is threatening Sierra Leone’s oyster harvesters, a livelihood largely carried by women who rely on mangrove ecosystems for income. Health Watch: Ebola coverage remains dominated by the DRC and Uganda outbreak, with WHO declaring a public health emergency—no licensed vaccines or targeted treatments for the Bundibugyo variant. Regional Security: Sierra Leone is named among countries joining a planned AU combined maritime task force for the Gulf of Guinea, flagged for June. Education Access: Pujehun communities report children stuck in Quranic-only schooling without formal classes.
