AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoClimate & Health Planning: New forecasts tied to intensifying El Niño warn of record heat and wider swings—drought, flooding, more disease, and food insecurity—hitting hardest where care services are already thin; the gap is that care support for young children, older people, and people with disabilities is still largely missing from National Adaptation Plans and Nationally Determined Contributions, even as countries prepare for COP31. Cancer Capacity: Merck Foundation and African First Ladies are continuing cancer training and team-building across multiple countries, aiming to reduce late diagnosis and the shortage of oncologists through scholarships and cancer awareness efforts. Health & Society Context: A week of coverage also touched on xenophobia-related violence and its health and human impacts across West and Southern Africa, plus a brief Pope John Paul II life profile—useful for community context, but not a direct health policy update. Transparency Watch: Shell’s 2025 payments-to-governments report adds to ongoing public finance transparency, though it’s not directly linked to near-term health actions in the coverage provided.
