AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

UN Map Reform: The UN General Assembly voted to move away from Mercator maps toward the Equal Earth projection, backed by 164 countries, to show Africa’s true scale in schools and public materials. Food Systems & Soil Health: At the Africa Food Systems Forum in Kigali, private-sector players urged more investment in soil management, better fertiliser use, and reforms to fertiliser subsidies, warning that degraded soils threaten yields. Science & Learning: South Africa’s MeerKAT telescope directly detected faint neutral hydrogen signals across cosmic distances, a step toward using hydrogen to map the universe’s large-scale structure. Education Equity (US data): New Michigan school enrollment snapshots show persistent racial gaps and shifting demographics, including Fordline Elementary (48 African American students, 15.6%) and Harper Woods High School (African American students 97.4%). Higher Education Outcomes (US data): Completion rates vary sharply by race and county, with examples like Lyon County’s Black bachelor’s completion at 21.2% (2018 cohort, by 2024).
