Last update: 3 hours ago

Women’s Digital Finance Push: AXIAN and the African Development Bank launched a programme from Antananarivo to deliver digital financial services to 34,000 women-led businesses across Madagascar, Tanzania, Senegal, plus training for 25,000 women in five more countries, using mobile money (MVola in Madagascar, Mixx elsewhere), digital lending, alternative credit assessment, and business/financial literacy support. Digital ID Security Upgrade: Madagascar is strengthening its national digital identity rollout by submitting two cybercrime bills to parliament, aiming to modernize the legal framework, enable ratification of the UN Convention against Cybercrime, and set up a Digital Protection and Investigation Unit to back trust at scale. Small-Scale Fisheries Sustainability: FAO hosted a summit in Rome focused on sustainability for small-scale fisheries, with Madagascar among the ministers engaged on practical actions for food security and livelihoods.
