Guinea Bissau Today

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Vaccine Trial Halted: Guinea-Bissau has cancelled a proposed US-funded hepatitis B study involving 14,000 newborns after critics said it would withhold a vaccine recommended by the WHO. The government said the trial lacked required approval; police had seized vaccine doses during an investigation. Land Disputes: In eastern Guinea-Bissau, local mediators are helping farmers and herders resolve conflicts over damaged crops and livestock before disputes escalate. Electricity Access: A $225 million ECOWAS project has brought electricity to 490 communities and nearly 500,000 people across Guinea-Bissau, The Gambia and Mali. Regional Markets: The BRVM, which serves Guinea-Bissau and seven other West African countries, plans to add exchange-traded funds and futures as trading activity grows.
