    Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday departed from Ghana’s capital, Accra, after concluding the first leg of his five-nation tour. He will now travel to Trinidad and Tobago for the second leg of his visit, scheduled from July 3 to July 4.

    This was PM Modi’s first visit to the West African nation and the first by an Indian Prime Minister to Ghana in over three decades.

    Before his departure, the PM interacted with members of the Indian diaspora, who welcomed him warmly.

    In Accra, PM Modi held delegation-level talks with Ghana’s President, John Mahama, to review the bilateral partnership and discuss ways to enhance cooperation in sectors such as economy, energy, defence and development.

    During talks with President Mahama, PM Modi announced the elevation of ties to a Comprehensive Partnership, citing “immense scope” for collaboration in critical minerals, defence, maritime security and energy.

    In a post on X, the PM said, “India and Ghana also see immense scope in working closely in areas such as critical minerals, defence, maritime security and energy. Enhancing cultural linkages was also discussed.”

    Describing the talks as “extremely fruitful”, PM Modi said the discussions focused on strengthening trade and economic ties. “We discussed ways to improve trade and economic linkages. Cooperation in FinTech, skill development, healthcare and other such sectors were also deliberated upon,” the PM added.

    During the visit, the Prime Minister was conferred with the “Officer of the Order of the Star of Ghana”, the country’s highest civilian honour, by President Mahama.

    PM Modi thanked Ghana for the award, calling it a “matter of immense pride”. “It is a matter of great pride and honour for me to be conferred with Ghana’s national award, The Officer of the Order of the Star of Ghana, by the President. I express my heartfelt gratitude to President Mahama ji, the Government of Ghana and the people of Ghana. I humbly accept this honour on behalf of 1.4 billion Indians,” he said.

    PM Modi dedicated the honour to the youth of both countries, saying, “I dedicate this award to the aspirations of our youth, their bright future, our rich cultural diversity and traditions, and the historic ties between India and Ghana.”

    The PM also addressed Ghana’s Parliament, where he described the relationship between India and Ghana as boundless, and said the friendship between the two nations was “sweeter than Ghana’s famous Sugar Loaf Pineapple”.

    Additionally, the PM visited the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park in Accra to pay tribute to Ghana’s founding President and a leading figure in Africa’s independence movement.

    PM Modi’s visit to Trinidad and Tobago will be his first as Prime Minister and marks the first bilateral Prime Ministerial visit to the country since 1999.

    The Prime Minister will also visit Argentina, Brazil and Namibia as part of his tour. He will travel to Brazil from July 5 to 8 to attend the 17th BRICS Summit 2025, before proceeding on a state visit to the South American nation.

    Speech

    Environment Secretary Steve Reed: Groundswell Show speech

    Speech by Environment Secretary Steve Reed at the 2025 Groundswell Show.

    It’s fantastic to be with you all here today. I’m delighted to have this opportunity to speak to so many people.

    It’s exciting to be here at Groundswell with the pioneers and innovators who are shaping the future of British farming.

    I’ve really been looking forward to coming to Groundswell because I know this is where the big ideas are taking shape. 

    You’re confronting the challenges of the future by drawing on the power of the past, looking at how we can use regenerative agriculture to shape the future of farming, and inspiring others to get involved in those approaches.

    You’ve been the ones to break the mould, championing the vital role of nature in sustainable food production from the start – the pioneers of an agricultural transition that must be just and must recognise the importance of community and tradition as we shape that future.

    Protecting British food security has never been more important. We’ve just had our warmest spring on record. Flooding is on the rise. Geopolitical events are threatening global food supply chains.

    Food security is national security. And you, more than anyone, know it’s only by restoring nature that we can make our food secure.

    Restoring nature is central to the Government’s approach.

    In the Spending Review, we committed to spend £2.7 billion a year on sustainable farming and nature’s recovery over the next three years.

    Funding for farmers through the Environmental Land Management schemes will increase by 150 per cent to £2 billion by 2029. And a further £400 million will be available from other nature schemes, including projects for tree planting and peatland restoration.

    This is the biggest financial investment in nature-friendly farming in our country’s history.

    Take a moment to compare this to 2017, when Groundswell first started. Back then, £350 million was invested into ELMs’ predecessor.

    Thanks to your efforts, nature-friendly farming has come a very long way in the past nine years.

    There are now over 39,000 SFI agreements producing fantastic results for nature. That’s something to celebrate. 

    [Political line removed]

    We’ve got the money out the door into farmers’ bank accounts, and I’m proud of that. But once you’ve spent a budget, you can’t keep spending it or you damage the economy, and we’re not doing that.

    Those farmers who missed out at the time the scheme closed to new applicants will be able to make claims once it reopens. But budgets can’t be unlimited, so we need to make sure we focus that public money where it’s going to make the biggest impact. 

    Farms are businesses, and all businesses need to be profitable to survive. I see it as central to my job to help make farming profitable. 

    I firmly believe the Sustainable Farming Incentive and ELMs are the best tools to support farmers’ transition to sustainable food production and to profitability.

    Later this summer, I will provide more details of our reformed SFI offer. We are working with farmers to shape the scheme, which will start accepting applications in the new year.

    We need to return firmly to the principle of public money for public goods.

    Our reformed SFI will maximise benefits for the environment, particularly around water quality and biodiversity, so we can clean up our polluted rivers, welcome wildlife back to farms, and strengthen the natural foundations that are vital to sustainable food production.

    We will simplify the SFI and support farmers to take on packages of actions which, when done together, achieve more for nature. And I know we need to upgrade the IT system so it’s easier for farmers to submit applications.

    That is part of my broader plan to rewire and reset Defra, to remove the bureaucracy and barriers that stand in the way of people getting the support they need.

    More environmental benefits, a simpler offer, supporting farmers through the transition, a focus on profitability, and visibility of the overall budget so we get it out the door and you know when it’s going to be fully allocated.

    This will be the shape of our reformed SFI.

    We’re also reopening our Capital Grants offer today – with £150 million in the latest round to invest in nature-friendly farming.

    That includes funding to plant hedgerows, buy equipment that will help clean up our rivers, or restore habitats that support biodiversity.

    Farmers and land managers can apply for a total of 78 items under the latest round, including four new items on woodland condition, wildlife management, stone walls and educational visits.

    We’ve taken time to assess and improve our offer. Putting funding limits on certain actions will ensure we manage budgets fairly so we can open the grants over a longer period of time.

    The SFI and Capital Grants form part of a much wider reset for farming.

    We want to support farmers to run profitable and financially resilient businesses that produce nutritious, high-quality food and other produce, and help to restore nature at the same time.

    Our 25-Year Farming Roadmap will outline our shared vision for the sector and set the direction for how we get there. It will give farmers clarity, stability and transparency.

    This will be a transition led by farm businesses, drawing on your experiences and your expertise.

    With government as the enabler, but farmers as the leaders.

    We’ve seen how effective farm clusters can be in supporting nature over a wider area – an initiative led by the sector which the Government can support.

    I’ve asked Baroness Minette Batters, former NFU President, to lead a review into how we can boost farm profitability – and she has written to the sector to get your ideas to inform the review.

    And we’re continuing to work with the Farm Tenancy Forum to ensure tenant farmers can access our reformed farming schemes.

    The farming sector is also leading the way on innovation.

    Agri-tech is one of our highest growth sectors, with 40 times the number of UK agri-tech businesses than we had ten years ago.

    Our ADOPT programme puts farmers in the driving seat, giving them the chance to test new technologies on their farm – such as solar panels on soft polytunnels or cultivation equipment to improve soil health in potato production. 

    Under the Government’s Industrial Strategy, we are taking this further. We’re investing over £200 million in the Farming Innovation Programme between now and 2030, as well as launching an Agri-Tech Export Accelerator Programme to help agri-tech businesses identify the best international markets.

    It’s been an interesting year, and certainly far from always straightforward.

    But we are now at a point where we can make things work better for farmers, food production and nature. I strongly believe in nature-positive farming. It is the way we can help farming to become more sustainable and successful both environmentally and financially.   

    You are the pioneers. I’m here to learn. Together we can give farming the bright and exciting future it, and our countryside, needs and deserves.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: The Praia-Dakar maritime link should be operational by the end of 2026

    Source: APO


    .

    The implementation of Praia-Dakar maritime link will mark an important step in regional integration within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). A workshop to evaluate and validate the various financial options for implementing the Praia-Dakar maritime link opened on Monday 30th of June 2025 in Dakar, Senegal.

    The aim of this workshop is to define the management and operating procedures, analyse the financial viability and the most appropriate governance models for this maritime link, anticipate the socio-economic and environmental impacts, and propose mitigation measures. It also intends to identify mixed financing mechanisms (public-private partnership, regional funds) and propose a monitoring and evaluation plan incorporating performance and sustainability indicators.

    Speaking on behalf of Sédiko Douka, Commissioner for Infrastructure, Energy and Digitisation of the ECOWAS Commission, Chris Appiah, Director of Transport of the ECOWAS Commission, reiterated the crucial importance of the Praia-Dakar maritime link in strengthening economic integration and increasing regional trade. “The Praia-Dakar maritime link, once implemented, will link Cabo Verde, an island state, to the other states of West Africa” said Chris Appiah. He expressed his gratitude to the technical and financial partners supporting ECOWAS in the implementation of the Praia-Dakar-Abidjan transport corridor project.

    Mamoudou Alassane Camara, Senegal’s Director General of Road Infrastructure and Opening-up, and Chairman of the Committee of Experts from the Member States of the Praia-Dakar maritime link, also expressed his gratitude to these partners. He stressed the need and the obligation for West Africans to work towards the realisation of the Praia-Dakar-Abidjan transport corridor project. This multimodal project, he said, should contribute to the development of West Africa. “We must ensure that the vision of ECOWAS leaders for the implementation of this project becomes a reality. We must move forward together. Together, we can achieve a great deal. What unites us is more important than what divides us” he said.

    For his part, the Director General of the Senegalese Maritime Affairs Agency, Becaye Diop, informed the audience of the strategic importance of this project for his country and Cabo Verde. For him, this project has received renewed interest and attention since the visit to Praia, in Cabo Verde, on the 24th of May 2024, by the Senegalese President, Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye, he made a commitment with the Cape Verdean authorities to set up the Dakar-Praia maritime link to improve trade and strengthen economic and social cooperation between Senegal and Cabo Verde.

    The Dakar-Praia maritime link, scheduled to be operational by the end of 2026, is a component of the Praia-Dakar-Abidjan multimodal transport corridor project. Considered strategic, it should be the subject of a specific management model proposal.

    As for the Praia-Dakar-Abidjan multimodal transport corridor project, it represents an essential element of the wider strategy of ECOWAS aimed at facilitating the free movement of people and goods within the Community area, strengthening trade cooperation, promoting economic development and stimulating regional trade.

    Considered one of the essential steps towards a more integrated and prosperous West Africa, this regional corridor, which aims to connect the capitals and port areas of eight ECOWAS member states, aims to integrate several modes of transport: road, rail and sea. These states are Cabo Verde, Côte d’Ivoire, The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Senegal and Sierra Leone.

    Through this project, ECOWAS intends to turn the Praia-Dakar-Abidjan corridor into a genuine West African economic hub, driving economic development and regional integration.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Government expands policies to create opportunities for women

    Source: Government of South Africa

    Minister in the Presidency responsible for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, Sindisiwe Chikunga, says government will continue to develop policies that open doors and support sustainable livelihoods for women. 

    “Women, especially in rural areas and the informal sector, are still excluded from land, credit, capital, markets, procurement and the digital economy,” Chikunga said on Thursday.

    Addressing media ahead of her department’s Budget Vote at the Imbizo Centre in Cape Town, Chikunga said for many women in rural areas, there is no easy access to the internet, and information is difficult to get. Transportation and getting the right documentation also proves a challenge. 

    “We need simpler, more inclusive systems that meet women where they are, not where the system assumes them to be,” Chikunga said.

    A substantial amount of money from the department’s budget is used to uplift women, youth and people with disabilities.

    Chikunga said a proposal has been made for the establishment of a Disability Inclusion Working Group, which will be an additional Working Group to be established and discussed further at the level of the G20 by countries that will subsequently take up the chairship of the G20.

    “We have committed to taking the G20 to the people, so that it is truly ‘The People’s G20’, a G20 that listens, that includes, and that leaves behind a legacy of progress.

    “Our participation and activities in the EWWG [Empowerment of Women Working Group] reflect the lived realities of South African women, youth and persons with disabilities. It continues to also include diverse historically marginalised communities in rural areas, informal settlements, farms and townships.”

    Chikunga said they have visited Taung in the North West and Mkhondo in Mpumalanga to consult communities as part of a broader national process to ensure that the voices of women, youth and people with disabilities inform South Africa’s contributions to the G20. The similar visits will also be undertaken to other provinces.

    “As South Africa, we are approaching our G20 Presidency in the spirit of Ubuntu: ‘I am because we are’. This is to remind us that we are connected and we are stronger when we build together and leave no one behind.

    “We are in Solidarity – working together, across countries and communities, to find shared solutions. We speak of equality because it is fundamental that we fix the unfair systems that keep so many people, especially women, young people and persons with disabilities, trapped in challenges of climate change, unemployment, poverty, inequality, hunger and rising debt.”

    Laying the foundation for the nation to thrive

    Chikunga said no economy can function and no society can thrive when women are unsafe at home, at work, in schools and in public spaces.

    “Safety is not a side issue. It is the foundation of empowerment. We are strengthening governance and the legislative and programmatic response in addressing the scourge of gender-based violence and femicide. Addressing feminism requires all of us. Law enforcement must take its course,” the Minister said.

    Over the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) period, the department will continue focusing on enhancing the coordination of the national response to gender-based violence; advancing responsive planning, budgeting, monitoring and evaluation within government; protecting the rights of people with disabilities, and encouraging the participation of women, young people and people with disabilities in the economy.

    An estimated 76.6% (R2.3 billion) of the department’s budget over the medium-term is earmarked for transfers and subsidies to the National Youth Development Agency and the Commission for Gender Equality. 

    As part of South Africa’s Presidency of the G20, which runs until 30 November 2025, R5.3 million is set aside for the G20 women empowerment working group meetings in 2025/26. 

    Cabinet has approved additional allocations to the department’s baseline amounting to R66.4 million over the medium-term (R21.2 million in 2025/26, R22.1 million in 2026/27 and R23.1 million in 2027/28). These funds are intended to support the department’s operations, including public wage increases.  – SAnews.gov.za

  • MIL-OSI Africa: North West engages with youngsters in agriculture

    Source: Government of South Africa

    The North West MEC for Agriculture and Rural Development, Madoda Sambatha, is embarking on a series of engagements with young people in agriculture across the province.

    According to the North West Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the sessions aim to empower youth to take an active role in shaping the future of the sector, reflecting their commitment to supporting sustainable, youth-led growth in agriculture.

    The first leg of the district engagements kicked off on Monday, 30 June 2025, in Coligny, within the Ngaka Modiri Molema District. 

    The department said that at the heart of this focused intervention is the Youth in Agriculture and Rural Development (YARD) structure, whose elected leadership has been tasked with advancing youth representation and development at all levels of the sector.

    The rollout continues in the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District on Friday, 4 July, at Mooilagte Farm in the Naledi Local Municipality. 

    This will be followed by engagements in the Dr Kenneth Kaunda District on 11 July at Ga-Matsapola Farm, and in the Bojanala Platinum District on 14 July at the Moses Kotane Local Municipality.

    The initiative brings together key stakeholders, including the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA), North West University Business School, the Small Enterprise Finance and Development Agency (SEFDA), AgriSETA, the Agricultural Research Council (ARC), commercial banks, and development finance institutions. 

    “The sessions serve as a gateway for young people to access critical information on funding, skills development, mentorship, and market access tools essential for building resilient and sustainable agri-enterprises.” 

    Held in partnership with local municipalities through the District Development Model (DDM), the engagements aim to ensure that the needs and aspirations of young farmers are integrated into local economic development plans.

    “In addition to dialogue and presentations, each session includes live demonstrations and planting activities, exposing participants to practical techniques and climate-smart agricultural methods.” 

    Addressing youth during the Coligny engagement held on Monday, Sambatha emphasised the department’s commitment to creating an enabling environment for youth in agriculture.

    “This is not a ceremonial exercise; it is a deliberate strategy to reposition young people as central drivers of agricultural growth and rural development. We are here to remove bottlenecks, unlock opportunities, and invest in future producers,“ Sambatha said.

    The department encourages all young people involved in farming, agri-processing, and rural enterprises to take full advantage of these sessions and the wide range of support offered through government and its partners. – SAnews.gov.za

  • MIL-OSI NGOs: Kenya: Withdrawal of Finance Bill 2024 an Opportunity for an Inclusive and Sustainable Dialogue

    Source: Greenpeace Statement –

    Nairobi, Kenya, 26 June — Greenpeace Africa acknowledges President William Ruto’s decision to decline assenting to the Finance Bill 2024 in response to the widespread outcry from Kenyans. 

    We extend our deepest condolences to the families and communities who mourn their loved ones. The protection of human life and the right to peaceful protest are paramount.

    Greenpeace Africa strongly advocates for an alternative approach to future Finance Bills, based on the principles of fair taxation. Instead of imposing burdensome taxes on the struggling populace, we propose a tax policy targeting polluters’ profits. Corporations, oil and gas industries that contribute significantly to environmental degradation, biodiversity loss and climate crisis should bear financial responsibility for their actions.

    Taxing the super-rich and polluters rather than the poor aligns with the principles of environmental justice and ensures that those responsible for environmental damage, losses and damages contributing to the rising costs of climate adaptation, mitigation and resilience bear the greatest responsibility. We welcome the president’s call to engage the youth and encourage the government to work closely with all stakeholders to develop progressive socio-economic policies that promote environmental sustainability, social equity, economic resilience, and prioritize the well-being of the people.

    Greenpeace Africa remains committed to advocating for a just, equitable, and sustainable society. We support constructive dialogue between the government, the youth, and all concerned parties in Kenya.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: ESAs sign Memorandum of Understanding with AMLA for effective cooperation and information exchange

    Source: European Banking Authority

    The European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA – the ESAs) today announced that they have concluded a multilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the European Union’s new Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA) to ensure effective cooperation and information exchange between the four institutions.

    The multilateral MoU outlines how the ESAs and AMLA will exchange information with one another and cooperate in practice to perform their respective tasks in an efficient, effective and timely manner. The memorandum aims to promote supervisory convergence throughout the EU’s financial sector, enable the exchange of necessary information, and foster cross-sectoral learning and capacity building among supervisors in areas of mutual interest. It is part of the overall cooperation framework that AMLA is required to issue in relation to the financial sector and is an important component of the institutional arrangements going forward. 

    Petra Hielkema, Chair of EIOPA and Chair of the Joint Committee of the ESAs said: “The memorandum we signed demonstrates the strong commitment of Europe’s financial supervisors to working closely together to combat money laundering and terrorist financing—crimes that undermine social justice and the well-being of our communities. Uncovering companies that engage in or facilitate such activities demands serious effort and dedication. The ESAs stand ready to support AMLA with all the knowledge and information at our disposal so that it can exercise its new powers to ensure that these illicit activities do not go undetected or unpunished on our soil. We look forward to a productive and efficient EU-wide collaboration with AMLA to protect the integrity of the EU’s financial system and create a safer and fairer financial environment for all.”

    Bruna Szego, Chair of AMLA said: “This Memorandum marks an important step in delivering a risk focused and integrated European AML/CFT framework. Cooperation between AMLA and the ESAs is essential so that we support each other to effectively deliver on our respective mandates and work together for a safer and more resilient Europe . The fight against crime affects all sectors and we are stronger when we work together’.

    Legal background

    Article 91 of the AMLA Regulation requires AMLA to conclude a multilateral MoU with the ESAs by 27 June 2025, which would set out how the Authorities intend to cooperate in the performance of their tasks under Union law.

    About AMLA

    The Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA) has the objective to transform the anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) supervision in the EU and enhance cooperation among financial intelligence units (FIUs). AMLA will directly supervise the EU’s highest-risk financial institutions with significant cross-border exposure. It will exercise indirect supervision across both the financial and non-financial sectors, ensuring that national supervisors apply EU AML/CFT rules consistently and effectively.. AMLA coordinates the work of Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) helping to improve the quality, consistency, and cross-border exchange of financial intelligence.  It complements EU AML/CFT rules by developing regulatory and implementing technical standards and issuing guidelines.

    About the ESAs

    The three European Supervisory Authorities (the EBA, EIOPA and ESMA) have the objective to protect the public interest by contributing to the short, medium, and long-term stability and effectiveness of the financial system, for the Union economy, its citizens, and businesses. The ESAs are tasked with developing and implementing a common regulatory framework and convergent supervisory practices across the EU.

    Through the Joint Committee, the ESAs regularly and closely coordinate their supervisory activities within the scope of their respective responsibilities to ensure consistency in their practices. The Joint Committee’s chairmanship rotates annually among the authorities. In 2025, the forum is chaired by EIOPA.

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday became the first Indian Prime Minister to address a special session of Ghana’s Parliament, underlining India’s commitment to strengthening democratic values and championing the voice of the Global South in global governance.

    Addressing lawmakers, government officials and dignitaries in Accra, PM Modi said he brought with him the goodwill and greetings of 1.4 billion Indians as the representative of the world’s largest democracy.

    “For us, democracy is not merely a system; it is a part of our fundamental values,” the PM said, adding that true democracy promotes debate, discussion, dignity and human rights.

    Recalling the shared history of India and Ghana, both of which bear the scars of colonial rule, the Prime Minister said that despite this past, “our spirits have always remained free and fearless.”

    Quoting Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, PM Modi said, “The forces that unite us are intrinsic and greater than the superimposed influences that keep us apart.” He stressed that the ideals of unity, peace and justice form the foundation of strong and enduring partnerships.

    The PM also noted that the post-World War II global order is changing rapidly, driven by technological revolutions, the rise of the Global South and shifting demographics. He called for credible and effective reforms in global governance, underlining that progress cannot be achieved without giving a stronger voice to emerging nations.

    Highlighting India’s presidency of the G20, PM Modi said the inclusion of the African Union as a permanent member was a step towards ensuring fair representation for Africa and the Global South.

    “Today, India is the fastest-growing emerging economy,” the Prime Minister said, describing the country as a hub for innovation and technology where global companies are keen to invest. He added that a strong India would contribute to a more stable and prosperous world.

    During his speech, PM Modi expressed gratitude to President John Dramani Mahama and the Ghanaian people for the national honour conferred upon him, calling it a symbol of the enduring friendship between the two nations.

    PM Modi praised Ghana’s vibrant parliamentary system and welcomed growing ties between the legislatures of both countries, including the establishment of the Ghana-India Parliamentary Friendship Society.

    Reaffirming India’s resolve to become a developed nation by 2047, the PM assured lawmakers that India would continue to stand “shoulder to shoulder with Ghana in its pursuit of progress and prosperity.”

    The session was convened by Ghana’s Speaker of Parliament, Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin, and marked a significant milestone in India-Ghana ties, reflecting shared democratic values and a commitment to deepening bilateral relations.

    Source: APO

    Orange Middle East and Africa (OMEA) (www.Orange.com) unveils its 2024 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report. Entitled “Cultivating Impact”, the report illustrates Orange’s commitment to a sustainable, inclusive transformation grounded in the realities of the 17 countries in which the brand operates.

    A transformation rooted in usage, skills, and territories

    The report comes at a pivotal time for Africa and the Middle East, where digital, energy, economic and financial transitions are driving deep and progressive societal shifts. One clear guiding principle emerges: human-centered digital technology. It takes shape in everyday uses, built on access to resilient, optimized, and low-carbon digital infrastructure, and a strong commitment to the circular economy through the recovery, refurbishment, and recycling of network and mobile equipment allowing millions to fully experience the digital age, even in the most remote areas. This transformation is accelerated by solutions such as Max it, OMEA’s super-app as a new lever for inclusion, Orange Money and Orange Bank Africa for financial inclusion, and Orange Energies for energy inclusion.

    A commitment rooted in the realities of Africa and the Middle East

    Throughout the report, OMEA’s role as a key player in regional transformation is reflected in a clear and committed vision: a development model that combines economic performance with social responsibility. In the 17 countries where the Group operates, Orange works closely with local realities to meet the specific needs of each territory.
    Driven by its 18,000 employees, this shared ambition is embodied in the company’s operations and in the #OrangeEngageforChange program, which rallies employees around high-impact, socially driven projects. This culture of impact is also reflected in the millions of opportunities made available to youth, women, and entrepreneurs through free inclusion initiatives like the Orange Digital Centers, which have already trained and supported 1.2 million people. The company’s commitment also translates into concrete actions in health, culture, ecosystem preservation, and community resilience.

    Yasser Shaker, CEO of Orange Middle East and Africa, comments: “Cultivating impact means anchoring our mission in people’s daily lives by turning our commitments into meaningful, lasting actions. In 2025 we will continue, together, to accelerate this positive transformation to build a fairer, more inclusive, and more resilient future.”

    Asma Ennaifer, Executive Director, CSR, Orange Digital Center and Communications for Orange Middle East and Africa, concludes: “Our responsibility is to act in a way that is concrete, measurable, and aligned with local challenges. Every action we take only matters if it brings tangible progress for women, youth, entrepreneurs, and the communities we serve.”

  • MIL-OSI Africa: African Development Bank awards $1 million grant to support green skills development for South Africans, with focus on youth

    Source: APO

    The African Development Bank (www.AfDB.org), through the Fund for African Private Sector Assistance (FAPA), has awarded a $1 million grant to South Africa’s National Business Initiative (NBI) to strengthen efforts to build a dynamic, demand-led skills ecosystem that enables South Africans, particularly young people, to access emerging job opportunities in the green economy. 

    South Africa continues to face significant challenges in youth employment, with StatisticsSA (http://apo-opa.co/3I92YRD) reporting that 46.1% of young people aged 15 to 34 were unemployed in the first quarter of 2025.

    The funding will support the country’s Just Energy Transition Skilling for Employment Programme (JET SEP), led by the National Business Initiative in partnership with the management consultancy Boston Consulting Group. The initiative coordinates private sector efforts to prepare the workforce for the energy transition, in tandem with the government’s JET Skilling Implementation Plan, focused on inclusive workforce development and sustainable job creation. 

    Specifically, the grant will finance the programme’s first phase, including feasibility studies for the design of skills development zones and capacity building within the public technical and vocational education and training system.  Skills development zones will anchor the delivery of inclusive skills and foster local economic growth during the country’s just-energy transition.

    Launched in 2024 and endorsed by the JET Project Management Unit under the presidency of the Government of South Africa, JET SEP has garnered support from over 30 influential South African CEOs, public sector leaders, and civil society leaders in the past year.   

    Of the grant, Kennedy Mbekeani, African Development Bank Director General for Southern Africa, said: “By linking a strong private sector coalition – the engine for job creation – with government, academia, and NGOs, the FAPA grant will play a catalytic role to support informed policy decisions in skills development and labour market programmes. It will also strengthen skills development efforts for the growth of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and the creation of jobs for youth in South Africa’s green economy.”   

    The grant builds on the African Development Bank’s significant investment in South Africa’s energy sector. Since 2007, the Bank has invested $3.4 billion to support energy infrastructure, including renewable energy. The current grant will support the government’s efforts to identify the skills needed for the sector, with a particular focus on renewable energy.

    Shameela Soobramoney, CEO of the National Business Initiative, said: “This grant from the African Development Bank is a critical step toward turning vision into action, strengthening the national skills system, and ensuring that all South Africans are equipped to seize new opportunities in the green economy. We are proud to continue working alongside our partners and stakeholders to build an inclusive future-ready workforce and to stimulate local economies in a way that leaves no one behind.”

    Source: APO


    .

    The ECOWAS Commission launched on Monday in Abidjan the third edition of its regional information and awareness campaign for small-scale cross-border women traders along the Abidjan–Lagos corridor. This initiative, which will run until 15 July 2025, aims to strengthen women’s economic participation in regional trade by improving their access to information, training, and a safer trading environment.

    The Department of Human Development and Social Affairs and the Department of Economic Affairs and Agriculture of the ECOWAS Commission are co-organising the third edition of the Information and Awareness Campaign for small-scale cross-border women traders along the Abidjan–Lagos corridor, from 30 June to 15 July 2025.

    The objective of this campaign is to build on the achievements and results of the 2023 and 2024 editions conducted along the Tema–Paga and Dakar–Banjul–Bissau corridors, in order to facilitate cross-border trade and improve operations for small-scale women traders by strengthening their knowledge and understanding of the regulations governing cross-border trade and related regional initiatives.

    As part of the implementation of this campaign, an official launch ceremony—co-chaired by the Minister of Trade and Industry and the Minister of Women, Family and Children—was held on 30 June 2025 at the NOOM Hotel in Abidjan. The ceremony was graced by the effective participation of H.E. Mrs. Massandjé TOURE-LITSE, ECOWAS Commissioner for Economic Affairs and Agriculture.

    The official launch of the information and awareness campaign was preceded by a public Town Hall meeting focused on raising awareness about ECOWAS cross-border trade policies and strategies, capacity building for women traders, the toolkit designed for small-scale cross-border women traders (border transparency and the fight against gender-based violence), and GIZ initiatives to boost intra-regional agri-food trade, improve coordination of regional policies, strengthen economic integration, and ensure food security.

    The launch event also saw the participation of the ECOWAS Resident Representative in Côte d’Ivoire, the ECOWAS National Office in Côte d’Ivoire, the Abidjan Chamber of Commerce, representatives of associations of small-scale cross-border women traders, and technical and financial partners.

  • MIL-OSI: New Online Casinos Canada: Reddit Users Share the Leading Real Money Online Casinos for 2025

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Vancouver, Canada, July 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As Canada’s online gambling market continues to expand, Reddit has emerged as a key platform for players seeking authentic, community-driven insights into the best real money new online casinos in Canada for 2025. All-iGaming experts have thoroughly reviewed numerous Reddit discussions, where subreddits buzz with conversations about platforms offering exceptional gaming experiences, generous promotions, and robust security measures.

     This article highlights the qualities that make these top-ranked casinos stand out, explores the roles of bonuses and game variety, and addresses Canada’s evolving legal framework for online gambling, providing a comprehensive guide for players navigating the digital casino landscape.

    The Surge of Online Gambling in Canada

    Online gambling in Canada has seen remarkable growth, fueled by advancements in technology, increased mobile accessibility, and a shift toward digital entertainment. Reddit’s community-driven discussions provide a unique lens into this dynamic market, with players sharing firsthand experiences about platforms that prioritize fairness, entertainment, and reliability. 

    Unlike traditional review sites, which may be influenced by affiliate partnerships, Reddit offers unfiltered opinions from real players who have tested deposits, gameplay, and withdrawals. These discussions focus on critical factors like game diversity, bonus transparency, payout speeds, and customer support, making them invaluable for Canadians seeking trustworthy new online casinos.

    In 2025, the Canadian online casino market is more competitive than ever, with platforms vying to offer innovative features, seamless user experiences, and compliance with provincial regulations. Reddit users have identified key qualities that set top casinos apart, including robust game libraries, player-friendly promotions, and adherence to strict security standards, ensuring a safe and enjoyable gaming environment.

    Key Features of Highly Influencing Online Casinos According to Reddit Users

    Reddit users consistently highlight several factors that define the best online casinos in Canada for 2025. These platforms excel in delivering a balanced experience that caters to both casual players and seasoned gamblers, with a focus on accessibility, fairness, and entertainment.

    • Game Variety: A Diverse and Engaging Selection

    Best online casinos in Canada boast extensive game libraries that cater to a wide range of player preferences. Reddit discussions emphasize the importance of platforms offering thousands of titles, including slots, table games, live dealer experiences, and specialty games like video poker or crash games. Slots remain a favorite, with players gravitating toward titles featuring high return-to-player rates—often exceeding 96%—for better long-term value. Popular categories include progressive jackpots, which offer life-changing payouts, and MegaWays slots, known for their dynamic paylines.

    Live dealer games, powered by leading providers, are another standout feature, delivering immersive experiences like blackjack, roulette, and baccarat with professional dealers and real-time streaming. Reddit users praise platforms with lag-free live tables, particularly during peak hours, and those offering high-RTP table games, such as blackjack variants with RTPs. The inclusion of games from top-tier developers ensures high-quality graphics, smooth gameplay, and fair outcomes, making variety a key driver of player satisfaction.

    • Bonuses and Promotions: Value with Transparency

    Bonuses and promotions are a cornerstone of the online casino experience, and Reddit users place a premium on offers that balance generosity with fairness. Welcome bonuses, often matching initial deposits or including free spins, are a major draw for new players. Top platforms provide substantial welcome packages—sometimes worth thousands of dollars—spread across multiple deposits to sustain engagement. Free spins, cashback offers, and daily promotions further enhance value, particularly for loyal players.

    However, Reddit communities stress the importance of transparent bonus terms. Wagering requirements, which dictate how many times a bonus must be played through before withdrawal, are a focal point. Top casinos maintain reasonable requirements, typically around 35x, compared to the industry average of 40x-50x. Players also value clear communication about eligible games, expiration dates, and withdrawal conditions. Reddit discussions often caution against promotions with overly restrictive terms, urging players to prioritize platforms that offer fair and attainable rewards.

    • Security and Payout Reliability

    Security is non-negotiable for Reddit users, who prioritize platforms with robust encryption, transparent operations, and licensing from reputable authorities. Fast and reliable payouts are another critical factor, with top casinos processing withdrawals via popular Canadian methods like Interac, e-wallets, and cryptocurrencies in under 24 hours. Platforms that offer instant or near-instant withdrawals, particularly for crypto transactions, earn high praise for eliminating delays that frustrate players.

    Reddit users also value platforms certified by independent auditors, which verify game fairness and RTP accuracy. Licensing from recognized jurisdictions ensures compliance with strict standards, protecting players’ funds and personal data. These features collectively build trust, making security and payout reliability defining traits of top-ranked casinos.

    • User Experience: Accessibility and Support

    Online casinos in Canada prioritize seamless user experiences, offering mobile-optimized interfaces that enable players to enjoy games on smartphones and tablets without compromising quality. Reddit users frequently praise platforms with intuitive navigation, fast load times, and multilingual support, particularly in English and French, to cater to Canada’s bilingual population. 

    Round-the-clock customer support, available via live chat, email, or phone, is another hallmark of top casinos, ensuring players can resolve issues promptly.

    Canada’s Legal Framework for Online Gambling

    The legal landscape for online gambling in Canada is complex, with regulations varying by province. In 2022, Ontario launched a regulated market under iGaming Ontario, setting a benchmark for transparency and player protection. Licensed operators in Ontario must adhere to stringent standards, including accurate RTP reporting, robust cybersecurity, and responsible gambling tools like self-exclusion programs.

    Other provinces, such as British Columbia and Quebec, offer government-run platforms like PlayNow and Espacejeux, while offshore casinos remain accessible to players nationwide.

    Reddit users emphasize the importance of choosing licensed platforms to ensure safety and fairness. Reputable casinos hold licenses from authorities like the Malta Gaming Authority, Kahnawake Gaming Commission, or Curacao, which enforce rigorous standards for security and game integrity. Players are advised to verify licensing details and avoid unregulated platforms, which may pose risks to funds and data.

    Why New Online Casinos Stand Out in 2025

    Reddit users identify several qualities that distinguish the best new online casinos in Canada’s competitive market:

    • Player-Centric Design: Mobile optimization, intuitive interfaces, and multilingual support ensure accessibility for all players, from tech-savvy millennials to older generations.
    • Fair and Transparent Promotions: Generous bonuses with reasonable wagering requirements provide genuine value, avoiding the pitfalls of overly restrictive terms.
    • Diverse and High-Quality Games: Extensive libraries with high-RTP slots, immersive live dealer tables, and innovative game formats cater to diverse preferences.
    • Fast and Secure Transactions: Quick withdrawals via Interac, e-wallets, and cryptocurrencies, combined with robust encryption, build trust and convenience.
    • Commitment to Responsible Gambling: Tools like deposit limits and self-exclusion options reflect a dedication to player well-being, aligning with Canada’s regulatory priorities.

    These qualities resonate with Reddit users, who value platforms that prioritize entertainment, fairness, and accountability. The community’s emphasis on real-world experiences ensures that top-ranked casinos are those that consistently deliver on their promises.

    The Role of Reddit Players in Shaping Online Casinos

    Reddit’s role as a trusted resource cannot be overstated. Many Subreddits serve as forums for players to share successes, warn against pitfalls, and recommend platforms that exceed expectations. Unlike polished marketing campaigns, Reddit discussions offer raw, unfiltered insights, with users posting screenshots of payouts, detailing bonus experiences, and debating game strategies. This authenticity makes Reddit a vital tool for players navigating the crowded online casino market.

    The community also fosters a culture of responsible gambling, with users encouraging each other to set budgets, target high-RTP games, and treat gambling as entertainment rather than a financial strategy. Subreddits provide support for those facing challenges, reinforcing the importance of balance and self-awareness.

    Responsible Gambling in Canada

    Responsible gambling is a recurring theme in Reddit discussions, with casino players advocating for moderation and informed decision-making. Top casinos support this ethos by integrating tools to manage spending, such as deposit limits, reality checks, and self-exclusion options. These features empower players to enjoy gambling responsibly, minimizing the risk of financial or emotional harm.

    Reddit players also share practical tips for responsible play, such as setting strict budgets, avoiding chasing losses, and focusing on games with favorable odds. The best casinos prominently feature these tools, demonstrating a commitment to player welfare and aligning with Canada’s regulatory focus on harm reduction.

    Looking Ahead: The Future of Online Gambling in Canada

    1. Thriving Market in 2025: Canada’s online casino industry continues to grow, driven by technological advancements and increasing player demand.
    2. Technological Innovations:
    • Enhanced mobile gaming improves accessibility and user experience.
    • Virtual reality integration in live dealer games offers immersive gameplay.

    • Reddit users highlight the growing popularity of casinos that support cryptocurrencies.
    • Crypto platforms offer anonymity and instant transactions, appealing to tech-savvy players.
    1. Ontario’s Regulatory Leadership:
    • Ontario’s regulated market sets a benchmark for transparency and player protection.
    • Other provinces are likely to adopt similar regulatory frameworks.
    1. Reddit’s Role as a Resource:
    • Reddit remains a key platform for players seeking authentic, community-driven insights.
    • Subreddits guide players toward licensed casinos with fair promotions and responsible gambling practices.
    1. Player Experience:
    • Canadians enjoy a safe and exciting gaming environment with a diverse range of options.
    • Players can engage in slots, blackjack, live dealer games, and more, blending entertainment with reliability.

    Conclusion: A Player-Driven Guide to 2025

    The Reddit community’s insights into Canada’s top real money online casinos for 2025 offer a roadmap for players seeking quality, security, and value. These platforms stand out for their diverse game libraries, transparent bonuses, fast payouts, and commitment to responsible gambling, aligning with the preferences of Canada’s discerning players.

  • MIL-OSI: Crypto & Bitcoin Casinos 2025 (EXPOSED): All iGaming Experts Disclose the No ID Verification Casinos

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York City, NY, July 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — All iGaming, a leading authority in the digital gaming sector, has released a groundbreaking report highlighting the rise of No ID Verification Crypto Casinos, also known as no-KYC (Know Your Customer) platforms. These casinos are transforming the iGaming industry by prioritizing player privacy and leveraging blockchain technology to deliver secure, anonymous, and lightning-fast gambling experiences. As privacy becomes a top concern for online gamblers, no-KYC crypto casinos are emerging as the preferred choice for players worldwide in 2025.

    DISCOVER THE TOP NO-KYC CRYPTO CASINOS FROM ALL IGAMING

    This comprehensive report, based on an analysis of over 3,000 crypto gambling platforms and 60,000 player interactions, explores the trends driving the popularity of no-KYC casinos, their performance compared to traditional casinos, and the future of this rapidly evolving market. All iGaming’s findings suggest that the best crypto casinos are not only redefining player expectations but also setting new standards for speed, security, and innovation in the iGaming landscape.

    Trends in the Crypto Casino Market: The Rise of No-KYC Platforms – By All iGaming

    All iGaming’s research reveals that privacy is a key driver in the crypto casino market, with 68% of players prioritizing anonymity when choosing a platform. This has fueled a surge in demand for no-KYC or low-KYC crypto casinos, which allow players to register and play with minimal personal information, often requiring only an email address. 

    These platforms leverage blockchain technology to ensure secure, anonymous transactions, making them particularly appealing in regions with restrictive gambling laws or for players who value data privacy.

    EXPLORE THE BEST CRYPTO CASINOS WITH NO-KYC FEATURES

    A significant trend identified by All iGaming is the adoption of privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Monero and ZCash in top crypto casinos. These digital assets enhance transaction anonymity, setting a new benchmark for the industry. Additionally, the best Bitcoin casinos are expanding their game libraries, with leading platforms offering over 9,000 titles, including slots, table games, live dealer options, and provably fair games unique to blockchain platforms. This diversity surpasses the typical 3,000–5,000 titles found in traditional online casinos, catering to a wide range of player preferences.

    Another key trend is the emphasis on transaction speed. All iGaming’s data shows that crypto gambling sites process deposits and withdrawals in under 10 minutes, with some achieving sub-minute speeds. This is a stark contrast to traditional casinos, which often require 24–72 hours for withdrawals due to banking intermediaries. Blockchain’s decentralized ledger eliminates these delays, providing players with unparalleled efficiency and convenience.

    Trend No-KYC Crypto Casinos Traditional Casinos
    Privacy No or minimal KYC, anonymous play Extensive KYC required
    Transaction Speed Under 10 minutes 24–72 hours
    Game Variety Over 9,000 titles 3,000–5,000 titles

    All iGaming’s Research Methodology

    All iGaming’s authoritative insights stem from a robust, multi-faceted research methodology. The team evaluated over 3,000 crypto casino platforms, focusing on critical factors such as game diversity, transaction speeds, security protocols, user interfaces, and reward structures. This analysis included both established and emerging platforms, ensuring a comprehensive view of the market.

    COMPARE THE NO KYC CRYPTO CASINOS AT ALL IGAMING

    In addition to platform assessments, All iGaming analyzed 60,000 player interactions across global forums, social media, and iGaming communities. This qualitative data provided valuable insights into player preferences, pain points, and satisfaction metrics. The research also included 1,000 surveys conducted across 50 markets, gathering quantitative data on adoption rates, platform reliability, and player priorities like privacy and speed.

    This combination of qualitative and quantitative data underpins All iGaming’s finding that the best crypto casinos are growing at a rate 350% higher than traditional online casinos. This growth is driven by superior technology, enhanced privacy, and player-centric features that traditional platforms struggle to match.

    Performance Analysis: No-KYC Crypto Casinos vs. Traditional Casinos – By All iGaming

    When comparing no-KYC crypto casinos to traditional online casinos, several key advantages emerge. Transaction speed is a standout feature, with All iGaming’s research revealing that crypto accepting sites process transactions 15 times faster than their traditional counterparts. Deposits are often instant, and withdrawals take just 2–8 minutes, compared to the 24–72 hours required by traditional casinos reliant on banking systems.

    Privacy is another critical differentiator. No-KYC crypto casinos allow players to engage in gambling without submitting personal identification, reducing the risk of data breaches and identity theft. This is particularly appealing in regions with strict gambling regulations, where players can use VPNs to access these platforms, though compliance with local laws is essential.

    Game variety is also a significant advantage. The best crypto casinos offer expansive catalogs, with top platforms boasting over 8,000 titles, including 500+ live dealer games and provably fair options. Traditional casinos, constrained by legacy systems, typically provide 3,000–5,000 titles, limiting player choice. Additionally, features like AI-driven personalization and VR gaming enhance the experience in crypto gambling sites, replicating the dynamics of land-based casinos.

    Player satisfaction is notably higher in no-KYC casinos, with All iGaming reporting a 94% satisfaction rate compared to 82% for traditional casinos. This is attributed to dynamic rewards, such as up to 600 free spins or 5 BTC welcome bonuses, as well as robust security measures like SSL encryption and two-factor authentication (2FA). Provably fair gaming, enabled by blockchain, further builds trust by allowing players to verify game outcomes.

    Metric No-KYC Crypto Casinos Traditional Casinos
    Transaction Speed 2–8 minutes 24–72 hours
    Player Satisfaction 94% 82%
    Game Titles Over 8,000 3,000–5,000
    Security Blockchain, SSL, 2FA Centralized, SSL

    Responsible Gambling Practices in No-KYC Casinos

    The anonymity of no-KYC casinos raises concerns about responsible gambling, but All iGaming emphasizes that top crypto casinos are addressing these issues. Many platforms offer tools like deposit limits, session timers, and self-exclusion options to help players manage their gambling habits. Demo modes, available in 85% of leading crypto casinos, allow players to explore games like slots, blackjack, and roulette without risking real money, promoting a safer gaming experience.

    EXPERIENCE ANONYMOUS GAMBLING AT ALL IGAMING 

    All iGaming also highlights the importance of education. Their resources, including guides and platform reviews, help players understand casino features, licensing, and risks, enabling informed decision-making. Reputable no-KYC casinos provide links to support organizations like Gamblers Anonymous or BeGambleAware, ensuring players have access to help when needed. Players are also advised to verify local gambling laws, as regulations vary across jurisdictions.

    Market Dynamics: Regulatory Landscape for No-KYC Casinos

    The regulatory landscape for no-KYC crypto casinos is complex and varies significantly across jurisdictions. Crypto-friendly regions like Malta, Curaçao, and Panama offer flexible licensing frameworks, making them popular choices for no-KYC platforms. These jurisdictions balance oversight with innovation, fostering the growth of crypto accepting sites.

    In contrast, stricter regulations in countries like the UK and parts of the US pose challenges for no-KYC casinos. However, the use of VPNs allows players in restricted areas to access these platforms, though All iGaming advises verifying local laws to ensure compliance. The report also notes that rising disposable incomes and the post-COVID shift to online platforms have accelerated the adoption of crypto gambling sites globally.

    Future Outlook: The Evolution of No-KYC Crypto Casinos

    All iGaming predicts a transformative future for no-KYC crypto casinos, with the market expected to reach $55.3 billion by 2032, capturing 47% of the global online gambling market by 2027. Technological advancements, such as AI-driven personalization, VR gaming, and blockchain-based loyalty programs, will enhance player engagement and retention.

    Regulatory frameworks are likely to evolve as cryptocurrencies gain mainstream acceptance, with more jurisdictions adopting crypto-friendly policies. However, sustainability concerns about blockchain’s energy consumption may drive a shift toward eco-friendly solutions like proof-of-stake protocols. The integration of decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is also expected to introduce new revenue streams, blending gaming with financial opportunities.

    Selecting Top No-KYC Crypto Casinos

    Choosing a reputable no-KYC crypto casino requires careful consideration. All iGaming recommends prioritizing platforms licensed by recognized authorities like the Malta Gaming Authority or Curaçao eGaming, which ensure fairness and security. Security measures, such as SSL encryption, two-factor authentication, and regular audits, are essential, with blockchain providing an additional layer of transparency through immutable transaction records.

    CHECK OUT THE BEST NO-KYC CRYPTO CASINOS AT ALL IGAMING

    Game variety is another critical factor, with the best crypto casinos offering thousands of titles from leading providers like Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, and NetEnt. Support for multiple cryptocurrencies, including privacy coins like Monero, maximizes anonymity. Players should also look for platforms with intuitive interfaces, mobile compatibility, and 24/7 customer support via live chat or email.

    Selection Criteria Recommendation
    Licensing Malta Gaming Authority, Curaçao eGaming
    Security SSL encryption, 2FA, blockchain transparency
    Game Variety 8,000+ titles from top providers
    Customer Support 24/7 via live chat or email
