It provided an opportunity to present AfCRA\u2019s business model and investment proposition to potential investors.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The event was attended by the Minister of Financial Services and Economic Planning, Dr (Mrs) Jyoti Jeetun; the Chief Executive Officer of the African Peer Review Mechanism, Ambassador Marie-Antoinette Rose-Quatre; and other dignitaries.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The programme comprised the Africa Leadership Moment, which examined AfCRA\u2019s mandate in relation to regional and global priorities, followed by a presentation on the Agency and discussions with institutional investors and its Board. AfCRA seeks to enhance the credibility of credit assessments of African economies, strengthen investor confidence and facilitate access to capital, thereby contributing to the development of more integrated African capital markets.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>09 October 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a

US-Africa Business\nSummit for the first time, from 6 to 9 December 2026, with Government and the\nCorporate Council on Africa (CCA) working collaboratively to secure high-level\nparticipation and unlock new investment opportunities.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Preparations,\nincluding arrangements for the venue, programme, thematic sessions and\nparticipation of Ministers from the United States (US) and Africa, were\noutlined yesterday at a press conference in Eb\u00e8ne by the Minister of Foreign\nAffairs, Regional Integration and International Trade, Mr Dhananjay Ramful; the Minister of Industry, SME and\nCooperatives, Mr Sayed Muhammad Aadil Ameer Meea; and CCA President and CEO, Ms\nFlorizelle Liser.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nsummit is expected to attract between 2,000 and 2,500 participants, with\nattendance potentially reaching 3,000. It will bring together African Heads of\nState, senior US government officials, Ministers, business leaders and\ninvestors to promote economic ties and forge partnerships.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nfour-day event will be held at the Swami Vivekananda International Convention\nCentre (SVICC) in Pailles, where site visits have been conducted as part of\nongoing preparations.

The programme will feature ministerial and private-sector\nround-table discussions on financial services, technology and information and\ncommunication technology, renewable energy, the blue economy, manufacturing,\ninfrastructure and tourism.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Addressing\nthe press, Minister Ramful said preparations were at an advanced stage, with\nsignificant progress made. A technical team from the CCA is currently in\nMauritius to review key aspects of the summit, including the programme,\nspeakers, logistics, security and participation.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nEbola situation is being closely monitored in consultation with the World\nHealth Organization, the Minister added. Initially scheduled for July 2026, the\nsummit was postponed amid concerns over the outbreak.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister\nRamful said the Government\u2019s priority was to attract American and African\nbusinesses and facilitate business-to-business meetings, joint ventures and\ninvestment partnerships. The summit is expected to enable companies to identify\npotential partners, explore new markets and develop commercially viable\nprojects.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister\nAmeer Meea cited Mauritius\u2019 financial-services expertise, established legal\nframework, treaty network, dispute-resolution facilities and bilingual\nworkforce as key advantages for international investors seeking access to\nAfrican markets. He also pointed to the continent\u2019s population of approximately\n1.4 billion as offering significant opportunities for trade, investment and\nbusiness expansion.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">CCA\nPresident and CEO Ms Florizelle Liser said the summit would showcase Mauritius\nas a gateway to Africa and India, while connecting businesses with potential\npartners and facilitating the development of new ventures. She recalled that\nthe previous edition, held in Angola, had generated deals worth more than US$4\nbillion.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Ms\nLiser also referred to the extension of the African Growth and Opportunity Act\n(AGOA), which grants eligible African countries preferential access to the US\nmarket for qualifying products.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Major\ninternational companies expected to be represented include energy firms Chevron,\nExxonMobil, BP and Shell; healthcare companies Pfizer, Merck, Abbott and\nJohnson & Johnson; and technology companies Amazon and Google, she added.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Ms\nLiser further indicated that several African leaders, including the President\nof Botswana and the Prime Ministers of Mozambique and C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, are\nexpected to attend, alongside Ministers and other senior representatives from\nacross the continent.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>09 October 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Foreign Affairs, Diplomacy, International Trade, Cooperatives, SME, Industry<\/p><a href='\/gis\/?page_id=1917' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Hungley: Africa needs confidence, capital and strong institutions to unlock its potential<\/h1><div id='gallery-2525' class='carousel slide mb-3' data-bs-ride='carousel'><div class='carousel-indicators'><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2525' data-bs-slide-to='0' class='active' aria-current='true'><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2525' data-bs-slide-to='1' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2525' data-bs-slide-to='2' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2525' data-bs-slide-to='3' ><\/button><\/div><div class='carousel-inner'><div class='carousel-item active'><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11337' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11338' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11339' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11340' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><\/div><button class='carousel-control-prev' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2525' data-bs-slide='prev'><span class='carousel-control-prev-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Previous<\/span><\/button><button class='carousel-control-next' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2525' data-bs-slide='next'><span class='carousel-control-next-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Next<\/span><\/button><\/div><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Africa\u2019s vast potential must be matched by stronger institutions, greater confidence and the mobilisation of capital towards investment-ready opportunities, Acting President of the Republic H.E.

The session was conducted by Abhyas (School of Yoga)\nand aimed at promoting mental well-being through the practice of yoga.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">This initiative underscores\nthe importance of mental health as an integral component of overall health and\nwell-being. It also serves as an opportunity for detainees to discover how yoga\ncan help promote relaxation, mindfulness and emotional balance, while offering\npractical techniques to cope with stress and anxiety.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Through guided movements,\nbreathing exercises and relaxation techniques, the participants were encouraged\nto focus on the connection between the mind and body. Such practices can help\nindividuals develop greater self-awareness, improve concentration and cultivate\na sense of calm. Several studies have highlighted the benefits of regular yoga\npractice, meditation and breathing techniques in managing stress, regulating\nemotions, promoting mental calmness, improving physical flexibility and\nsupporting overall well-being.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The organisation of this\nsession reflects the importance of providing detainees with opportunities to\nengage in activities that support their psychological and emotional well-being.\nLife in detention can present various challenges, making access to appropriate\nsupport and positive coping strategies particularly important. Initiatives\npromoting mental health contribute to create a more supportive environment and\nencourage individuals to take an active role in their personal development.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The yoga session also\nunderscored the role of rehabilitation programmes in addressing not only the\nbehavioural and social aspects of reintegration, but also the mental and\nemotional needs of detainees. By introducing participants to practices that can\nbe incorporated into their daily lives, the session sought to encourage\nhealthier habits and promote a more positive approach to personal well-being.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">World Mental Health Day serves as an important\nreminder that mental health deserves attention, understanding and support in\nall settings. Initiatives such as this yoga session contribute to raising\nawareness of the importance of psychological well-being and reaffirm the value\nof rehabilitation efforts that place human development and successful\nreintegration into society.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>12 October 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a

Organised by the African Insurance Organisation (AIO), the two-day forum is being held under the theme \u2018From Data to Decisions: How Artificial Intelligence is Transforming Re\/insurance\u2019.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The opening ceremony was attended by the Minister of Financial Services and Economic Planning, Dr (Mrs) Jyoti Jeetun; the President of AIO, Mr Alaa El-Zoheiry; and the Chairperson of the Local Organising Committee, Mr Vashish Ramkhalawon, among other personalities.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In her address, Minister Jeetun emphasised the potential of AI and data analytics to extend insurance coverage to individuals and businesses that remain uninsured or underinsured.She noted that insurance penetration remains low across Africa, leaving many households, small businesses and farmers vulnerable to financial losses caused by economic shocks and climate-related events.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Referring to the challenges faced by small farmers in Mauritius, the Minister highlighted efforts to develop affordable crop insurance to protect their livelihoods against risks such as droughts, excessive rainfall and flooding. She stressed that collaboration between Government, insurers and regulators is essential to develop sustainable insurance solutions that protect farmers, strengthen local agricultural production and support food security.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dr Jeetun further explained that AI, combined with satellite imagery, weather information and insurance claims data, can improve risk assessment and help insurers design more suitable products. However, she cautioned that technology alone cannot eliminate risks, underlining the importance of sound underwriting, appropriate pricing and effective risk management. She called for greater collaboration among industry stakeholders to translate technological advances into practical solutions that make insurance protection more accessible and affordable.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">As for the President of AIO, he expressed appreciation to the Government of Mauritius for supporting the forum and stressed the importance of developing African data resources and harnessing artificial intelligence to improve decision-making in the face of emerging risks, including cyber threats.<\/p><br><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify;

The initiative aims to strengthen\nmeteorological forecasting and improve the delivery and use of weather-related\ninformation in Mauritius.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Present at the\nevent were the Acting Director of the Mauritius Meteorological Services (MMS),\nDr Prithiviraj Booneeady; the World Meteorological Organization (WMO)\nConsultant, Ms Judith Akoth; and the Resource Person from the South African\nWeather Service, Ms Vanetia Phakula.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Organised by\nthe MMS, the training is being held from 12 to 16 October 2026. It brings\ntogether participants from disaster management agencies, local authorities,\nemergency services and non-governmental organisations. The WISER project,\nfunded by United Kingdom (UK) International Development and led by UK MET\nOffice, is implemented across Africa to enhance the quality, accessibility and\nuse of weather and climate information services, with the objective of\nprotecting lives, strengthening resilience and supporting sustainable\ndevelopment.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In his address,\nDr Booneeady highlighted the growing impact of extreme weather and climate\nevents on communities, infrastructure and livelihoods. Referring to the\ndevastating consequences of floods, including the recent incident in Nepal, he\nstressed that hazards such as floods, extreme temperatures, cyclones and\ndroughts underscore the need for reliable forecasts that translate into timely\nand effective action.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He further\nindicated that weather information must go beyond simply communicating\nforecasts and warnings and must enable people and institutions to make informed\ndecisions to protect lives and livelihoods. The WISER project, he said, seeks\nto transform weather and climate services across Africa into more inclusive,\nequitable, accessible and people-centred systems that are easily understood.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dr Booneeady\nalso drew attention to the far-reaching consequences of weather-related\ndisasters, which can impose significant costs on infrastructure, public health,\nsecurity and the wider economy. He noted that the MMS already provides\nestablished forecasting and warning services, including information on the\npotential impacts of hazardous weather events. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The project, he\nemphasised, will further strengthen the translation of meteorological data into\nactionable information, enabling communities and relevant institutions to\nbetter prepare for and respond to weather-related risks. He thus urged\nparticipants to identify priority hazards, strengthen coordination among\nstakeholders and improve the use of early warnings to support preparedness and\nclimate resilience.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">For her part,\nMs Akoth commended Mauritius for its commitment to strengthening climate\nresilience and protecting livelihoods. She called for greater cooperation among\nvulnerable countries and reaffirmed the WMO's support for efforts to improve\nweather and climate services.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">As for Ms\nPhakula, she emphasised the importance of reliable and accurate forecasts in\nsupporting preparedness and timely decision-making. She also dwelt on the need\nfor robust weather and climate information databases, in addition to stronger\ncollaboration among stakeholders to ensure that forecasts lead to effective\naction.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>12 October 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a

use of available water\nresources are essential to sustaining agricultural production and livestock\nactivities, said the Minister of Agro-Industry, Food Security, Blue Economy and\nFisheries, Dr Arvin Boolell following an urgent meeting with key stakeholders\nin Port Louis today.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nmeeting brought together representatives of several institutions, including the\nIrrigation Authority, the Food and Agricultural Research and Extension\nInstitute, the Agricultural Marketing Board, the Mauritius Cane Industry\nAuthority and the Small Farmers Welfare Fund, among others. The Junior\nMinister, Mr Gilles Fabrice David, was also present.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister\nBoolell acknowledged the challenges posed by the prevailing water situation but\nexpressed confidence that they could be overcome through coordinated action\nacross institutions. He called for effective resource management and a\ncollaborative approach to address the needs of planters and livestock breeders.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In\naddition, he called for proactive measures and practical solutions to maintain\nagricultural activities and safeguard food security, with particular emphasis\non the judicious and sustainable use of water for crop cultivation, livestock\nfarming and hydroponic production.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In\nthis context, Dr Boolell emphasised the importance of investing in modern\nirrigation techniques, including drip irrigation and precision agriculture, to\nimprove water-use efficiency and promote more sustainable agricultural\npractices. He further indicated that certain water resources remain\nunderutilised and should be identified and assessed in collaboration with the\nWater Resources Commission to determine their potential for agricultural\npurposes.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He\nfurther advocated closer collaboration between the public and private sectors\nto identify additional water sources and ensure their fair and equitable\ndistribution. Welcoming the constructive discussions held with participating\ninstitutions, he reiterated the importance of continued consultation and\ncollective action to address water scarcity.<\/p><\/p><p

The opening\nceremony was held this morning in presence of the Minister of Social\nIntegration, Social Security and National Solidarity, and Acting Minister of\nLabour and Industrial Relations, Mr Ashok Kumar Subron, in Port Louis.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The meeting will be followed by a two-day High-Level\nSymposium on encouraging the adoption of the International Labour Organization\n\u201cC193 \u2013 Decent Work in the Platform Economy Convention, 2026 (No. 193)\u201d. This\nConvention, which was adopted at the 114th International Labour\nConference, established the first international labour standards governing\ndigital labour platforms, covering issues such as employment status, social protection,\noccupational safety and health, collective rights and algorithmic management.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In his keynote address, the Acting Labour Minister described\nMauritius as a vibrant, modern society anchored by social dialogue, fundamental\nworkers' rights, and strong democratic institutions. Tracing the evolution of\nthe Mauritian labour landscape back to the eras of slavery and indentured\nlabour, Mr Subron noted that regional bodies like the ARLAC are deeply rooted\nin a shared mission: ensuring society never regresses to treating labour as a\nmere commodity.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">\"All member States share a common DNA,\" Mr\nSubron stated, pointing out that most African nations bear the structural scars\nof colonial labour regimes, that is, systems originally designed to extract output rather\nthan elevate human dignity. He expressed immense pride that the African\ncommunity refused to remain trapped in these historical paradigms, with member\nnations continually reinventing their labour administration, transforming\ncolonial mechanisms of control into robust, tripartite institutions dedicated\nto social justice, equity, and the protection of workers. \"Our modern\nlabour administrations today act as the frontline architects of social\njustice,\" Mr Subron remarked.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Looking forward, the Minister reminded that the\ndefinitions of \"work\" and the \"workplace\" are constantly\nshifting, urging ARLAC to remain forward-looking and adaptable in order to\nprepare for emerging global challenges. These include the rise of the digital\nworkforce, algorithmic management, the compounding consequences of the climate\nand ecological crises, and ongoing geopolitical conflicts.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mr Subron highlighted ARLAC\u2019s vital role\nin driving peer learning, research, technical cooperation, the sharing of best\npractices, and regional dialogue. He emphasised that current training and\ncapacity-building programmes must equip labour administrations not only to\nmanage the complexities of today but to proactively anticipate the challenges\nof tomorrow.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Welcoming the meeting and symposium, ARLAC Executive\nDirector, Mr Retselisitsoe Khetsi, indicated the gathering as a timely occasion\nto evaluate progress on the organisation's strategic plan. He described it as\nan opportunity to celebrate past achievements and resilience while proactively\naddressing new challenges and making necessary adjustments. Moreover, he\nstressed the need to work to make tangible differences on institutional\ncapacity and the empowerment of member countries.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The incoming Chairperson, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry\nof Labour and Industrial Relations, Mrs Bilkiss Rajahbalee-Cader, underlined\nthat ARLAC relies on the collective vision of its member States along with their\ninnovative ideas, and practical suggestions, to fulfil its core mandate of enhancing\nlabour administration systems. As the organisation navigates an evolving global\nand regional environment, she urged ARLAC to innovate and adapt, ultimately\nbuilding a more resilient framework capable of effectively serving the needs of\nits members.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;

the Ministry of Financial Services; the Motor\nVehicle Insurance Arbitration Committee (MVIAC); the National Land Transport\nAuthority; and the Financial Services Commission, amongst others, attended the\nmeeting which focused on identifying ways to streamline procedures and\naccelerate the settlement of outstanding claims.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In\na statement, Minister Mahomed explained that the MVIAC, a quasi-judicial\nadministrative body operating under the aegis of his Ministry, is responsible\nfor determining disputes relating to compensation following road accidents. He\nindicated that the Committee has successfully cleared some 1,635 cases that\nwere pending for the period 2019 to November 2024. He nonetheless observed that\naround 1,040 cases were registered in 2025, with further applications\ncontinuing to be received in 2026.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nMinister pointed out that, under the existing procedures, the outstanding cases\ncould take until the end of 2027 to be cleared. According to him, delays in\ncompensation could create financial difficulties for vehicle owners,\nparticularly those unable to afford repairs while awaiting settlement.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">This\nmeeting, he underlined, provided an opportunity for stakeholders to exchange\nviews and put forward proposals aimed at simplifying procedures and improving\nthe efficiency of the claims settlement process. Additional consultations will\nbe held to examine the proposals and determine the way forward, with a view to\nfacilitating the settlement of claims and providing timely assistance to\naffected vehicle owners, he added.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>14 October 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Insurance Claim, Road Accident<\/p><a href='\/gis\/?page_id=1917' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Shiv Khera meets Prime Minister Ramgoolam<\/h1><div id='gallery-2618' class='carousel slide mb-3' data-bs-ride='carousel'><div class='carousel-indicators'><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2618' data-bs-slide-to='0' class='active' aria-current='true'><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2618' data-bs-slide-to='1' ><\/button><\/div><div class='carousel-inner'><div class='carousel-item active'><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11489' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11490' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><\/div><button class='carousel-control-prev' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2618' data-bs-slide='prev'><span class='carousel-control-prev-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Previous<\/span><\/button><button class='carousel-control-next' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2618' data-bs-slide='next'><span class='carousel-control-next-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Next<\/span><\/button><\/div><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'>Mr Shiv Khera, renowned for his work in leadership development and character building, met the Prime Minister, Dr Navinchandra Ramgoolam, today during a courtesy call at the New Treasury Building in Port Louis.<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mr Khera is a motivational speaker, best selling author and leadership coach.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In a statement, Mr Khera underscored the importance of character\nbuilding, integrity and responsible leadership in national development.\n\u201cCompanies and countries are not built on skills, they are built on character,\u201d\nhe said, noting that character building is essential to effective leadership and good\ngovernance.

US-Africa Business\nSummit for the first time, from 6 to 9 December 2026, with Government and the\nCorporate Council on Africa (CCA) working collaboratively to secure high-level\nparticipation and unlock new investment opportunities.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Preparations,\nincluding arrangements for the venue, programme, thematic sessions and\nparticipation of Ministers from the United States (US) and Africa, were\noutlined yesterday at a press conference in Eb\u00e8ne by the Minister of Foreign\nAffairs, Regional Integration and International Trade, Mr Dhananjay Ramful; the Minister of Industry, SME and\nCooperatives, Mr Sayed Muhammad Aadil Ameer Meea; and CCA President and CEO, Ms\nFlorizelle Liser.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nsummit is expected to attract between 2,000 and 2,500 participants, with\nattendance potentially reaching 3,000. It will bring together African Heads of\nState, senior US government officials, Ministers, business leaders and\ninvestors to promote economic ties and forge partnerships.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nfour-day event will be held at the Swami Vivekananda International Convention\nCentre (SVICC) in Pailles, where site visits have been conducted as part of\nongoing preparations. A Committee co-chaired by Ministers Ramful\nand Ameer\nMeea, with the involvement of the Prime Minister\u2019s Office, is coordinating the\narrangements. The programme will feature ministerial and private-sector\nround-table discussions on financial services, technology and information and\ncommunication technology, renewable energy, the blue economy, manufacturing,\ninfrastructure and tourism.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Addressing\nthe press, Minister Ramful said preparations were at an advanced stage, with\nsignificant progress made. A technical team from the CCA is currently in\nMauritius to review key aspects of the summit, including the programme,\nspeakers, logistics, security and participation.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nEbola situation is being closely monitored in consultation with the World\nHealth Organization, the Minister added. Initially scheduled for July 2026, the\nsummit was postponed amid concerns over the outbreak.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister\nRamful said the Government\u2019s priority was to attract American and African\nbusinesses and facilitate business-to-business meetings, joint ventures and\ninvestment partnerships. The summit is expected to enable companies to identify\npotential partners, explore new markets and develop commercially viable\nprojects.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister\nAmeer Meea cited Mauritius\u2019 financial-services expertise, established legal\nframework, treaty network, dispute-resolution facilities and bilingual\nworkforce as key advantages for international investors seeking access to\nAfrican markets. He also pointed to the continent\u2019s population of approximately\n1.4 billion as offering significant opportunities for trade, investment and\nbusiness expansion.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">CCA\nPresident and CEO Ms Florizelle Liser said the summit would showcase Mauritius\nas a gateway to Africa and India, while connecting businesses with potential\npartners and facilitating the development of new ventures. She recalled that\nthe previous edition, held in Angola, had generated deals worth more than US$4\nbillion.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Ms\nLiser also referred to the extension of the African Growth and Opportunity Act\n(AGOA), which grants eligible African countries preferential access to the US\nmarket for qualifying products.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Major\ninternational companies expected to be represented include energy firms Chevron,\nExxonMobil, BP and Shell; healthcare companies Pfizer, Merck, Abbott and\nJohnson & Johnson; and technology companies Amazon and Google, she added.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Ms\nLiser further indicated that several African leaders, including the President\nof Botswana and the Prime Ministers of Mozambique and C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, are\nexpected to attend, alongside Ministers and other senior representatives from\nacross the continent.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>09 October 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a href='mailto:gis@govmu.org'>gis@govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Website: <a href='https:\/\/gis.govmu.org' target='_blank'>https:\/\/gis.govmu.org<\/a><\/p><p>Mobile App: GIS News<\/p><p class='news-topics'>Topics: Foreign Affairs, Diplomacy, International Trade, Cooperatives, SME, Industry<\/p><a href='\/gis\/?page_id=1917' class='back-button'>Back<\/a><\/div><div class='container'><h1 class='title'>Hungley: Africa needs confidence, capital and strong institutions to unlock its potential<\/h1><div id='gallery-2525' class='carousel slide mb-3' data-bs-ride='carousel'><div class='carousel-indicators'><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2525' data-bs-slide-to='0' class='active' aria-current='true'><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2525' data-bs-slide-to='1' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2525' data-bs-slide-to='2' ><\/button><button type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2525' data-bs-slide-to='3' ><\/button><\/div><div class='carousel-inner'><div class='carousel-item active'><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11337' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11338' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11339' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><div class='carousel-item '><img src='https:\/\/gisnews.govmu.org\/GalleryFile\/Images?pictureId=11340' class='d-block w-100' alt='Gallery Image'><\/div><\/div><button class='carousel-control-prev' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2525' data-bs-slide='prev'><span class='carousel-control-prev-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Previous<\/span><\/button><button class='carousel-control-next' type='button' data-bs-target='#gallery-2525' data-bs-slide='next'><span class='carousel-control-next-icon' aria-hidden='true'><\/span><span class='visually-hidden'>Next<\/span><\/button><\/div><div class='description'><p style='text-align: justify;'><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Africa\u2019s vast potential must be matched by stronger institutions, greater confidence and the mobilisation of capital towards investment-ready opportunities, Acting President of the Republic H.E.

The session was conducted by Abhyas (School of Yoga)\nand aimed at promoting mental well-being through the practice of yoga.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">This initiative underscores\nthe importance of mental health as an integral component of overall health and\nwell-being. It also serves as an opportunity for detainees to discover how yoga\ncan help promote relaxation, mindfulness and emotional balance, while offering\npractical techniques to cope with stress and anxiety.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Through guided movements,\nbreathing exercises and relaxation techniques, the participants were encouraged\nto focus on the connection between the mind and body. Such practices can help\nindividuals develop greater self-awareness, improve concentration and cultivate\na sense of calm. Several studies have highlighted the benefits of regular yoga\npractice, meditation and breathing techniques in managing stress, regulating\nemotions, promoting mental calmness, improving physical flexibility and\nsupporting overall well-being.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The organisation of this\nsession reflects the importance of providing detainees with opportunities to\nengage in activities that support their psychological and emotional well-being.\nLife in detention can present various challenges, making access to appropriate\nsupport and positive coping strategies particularly important. Initiatives\npromoting mental health contribute to create a more supportive environment and\nencourage individuals to take an active role in their personal development.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The yoga session also\nunderscored the role of rehabilitation programmes in addressing not only the\nbehavioural and social aspects of reintegration, but also the mental and\nemotional needs of detainees. By introducing participants to practices that can\nbe incorporated into their daily lives, the session sought to encourage\nhealthier habits and promote a more positive approach to personal well-being.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">World Mental Health Day serves as an important\nreminder that mental health deserves attention, understanding and support in\nall settings. Initiatives such as this yoga session contribute to raising\nawareness of the importance of psychological well-being and reaffirm the value\nof rehabilitation efforts that place human development and successful\nreintegration into society.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>12 October 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a

Organised by the African Insurance Organisation (AIO), the two-day forum is being held under the theme \u2018From Data to Decisions: How Artificial Intelligence is Transforming Re\/insurance\u2019.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The opening ceremony was attended by the Minister of Financial Services and Economic Planning, Dr (Mrs) Jyoti Jeetun; the President of AIO, Mr Alaa El-Zoheiry; and the Chairperson of the Local Organising Committee, Mr Vashish Ramkhalawon, among other personalities.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In her address, Minister Jeetun emphasised the potential of AI and data analytics to extend insurance coverage to individuals and businesses that remain uninsured or underinsured.She noted that insurance penetration remains low across Africa, leaving many households, small businesses and farmers vulnerable to financial losses caused by economic shocks and climate-related events.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Referring to the challenges faced by small farmers in Mauritius, the Minister highlighted efforts to develop affordable crop insurance to protect their livelihoods against risks such as droughts, excessive rainfall and flooding. She stressed that collaboration between Government, insurers and regulators is essential to develop sustainable insurance solutions that protect farmers, strengthen local agricultural production and support food security.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dr Jeetun further explained that AI, combined with satellite imagery, weather information and insurance claims data, can improve risk assessment and help insurers design more suitable products. However, she cautioned that technology alone cannot eliminate risks, underlining the importance of sound underwriting, appropriate pricing and effective risk management. She called for greater collaboration among industry stakeholders to translate technological advances into practical solutions that make insurance protection more accessible and affordable.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">As for the President of AIO, he expressed appreciation to the Government of Mauritius for supporting the forum and stressed the importance of developing African data resources and harnessing artificial intelligence to improve decision-making in the face of emerging risks, including cyber threats.<\/p><br><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify;

The initiative aims to strengthen\nmeteorological forecasting and improve the delivery and use of weather-related\ninformation in Mauritius.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Present at the\nevent were the Acting Director of the Mauritius Meteorological Services (MMS),\nDr Prithiviraj Booneeady; the World Meteorological Organization (WMO)\nConsultant, Ms Judith Akoth; and the Resource Person from the South African\nWeather Service, Ms Vanetia Phakula.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Organised by\nthe MMS, the training is being held from 12 to 16 October 2026. It brings\ntogether participants from disaster management agencies, local authorities,\nemergency services and non-governmental organisations. The WISER project,\nfunded by United Kingdom (UK) International Development and led by UK MET\nOffice, is implemented across Africa to enhance the quality, accessibility and\nuse of weather and climate information services, with the objective of\nprotecting lives, strengthening resilience and supporting sustainable\ndevelopment.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In his address,\nDr Booneeady highlighted the growing impact of extreme weather and climate\nevents on communities, infrastructure and livelihoods. Referring to the\ndevastating consequences of floods, including the recent incident in Nepal, he\nstressed that hazards such as floods, extreme temperatures, cyclones and\ndroughts underscore the need for reliable forecasts that translate into timely\nand effective action.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He further\nindicated that weather information must go beyond simply communicating\nforecasts and warnings and must enable people and institutions to make informed\ndecisions to protect lives and livelihoods. The WISER project, he said, seeks\nto transform weather and climate services across Africa into more inclusive,\nequitable, accessible and people-centred systems that are easily understood.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dr Booneeady\nalso drew attention to the far-reaching consequences of weather-related\ndisasters, which can impose significant costs on infrastructure, public health,\nsecurity and the wider economy. He noted that the MMS already provides\nestablished forecasting and warning services, including information on the\npotential impacts of hazardous weather events. <\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The project, he\nemphasised, will further strengthen the translation of meteorological data into\nactionable information, enabling communities and relevant institutions to\nbetter prepare for and respond to weather-related risks. He thus urged\nparticipants to identify priority hazards, strengthen coordination among\nstakeholders and improve the use of early warnings to support preparedness and\nclimate resilience.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">For her part,\nMs Akoth commended Mauritius for its commitment to strengthening climate\nresilience and protecting livelihoods. She called for greater cooperation among\nvulnerable countries and reaffirmed the WMO's support for efforts to improve\nweather and climate services.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">As for Ms\nPhakula, she emphasised the importance of reliable and accurate forecasts in\nsupporting preparedness and timely decision-making. She also dwelt on the need\nfor robust weather and climate information databases, in addition to stronger\ncollaboration among stakeholders to ensure that forecasts lead to effective\naction.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;><strong>12 October 2026<\/strong><\/p><p>Email: <a

use of available water\nresources are essential to sustaining agricultural production and livestock\nactivities, said the Minister of Agro-Industry, Food Security, Blue Economy and\nFisheries, Dr Arvin Boolell following an urgent meeting with key stakeholders\nin Port Louis today.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The\nmeeting brought together representatives of several institutions, including the\nIrrigation Authority, the Food and Agricultural Research and Extension\nInstitute, the Agricultural Marketing Board, the Mauritius Cane Industry\nAuthority and the Small Farmers Welfare Fund, among others. The Junior\nMinister, Mr Gilles Fabrice David, was also present.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Minister\nBoolell acknowledged the challenges posed by the prevailing water situation but\nexpressed confidence that they could be overcome through coordinated action\nacross institutions. He called for effective resource management and a\ncollaborative approach to address the needs of planters and livestock breeders.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In\naddition, he called for proactive measures and practical solutions to maintain\nagricultural activities and safeguard food security, with particular emphasis\non the judicious and sustainable use of water for crop cultivation, livestock\nfarming and hydroponic production.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In\nthis context, Dr Boolell emphasised the importance of investing in modern\nirrigation techniques, including drip irrigation and precision agriculture, to\nimprove water-use efficiency and promote more sustainable agricultural\npractices. He further indicated that certain water resources remain\nunderutilised and should be identified and assessed in collaboration with the\nWater Resources Commission to determine their potential for agricultural\npurposes.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">He\nfurther advocated closer collaboration between the public and private sectors\nto identify additional water sources and ensure their fair and equitable\ndistribution. Welcoming the constructive discussions held with participating\ninstitutions, he reiterated the importance of continued consultation and\ncollective action to address water scarcity.<\/p><\/p><p

The opening\nceremony was held this morning in presence of the Minister of Social\nIntegration, Social Security and National Solidarity, and Acting Minister of\nLabour and Industrial Relations, Mr Ashok Kumar Subron, in Port Louis.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The meeting will be followed by a two-day High-Level\nSymposium on encouraging the adoption of the International Labour Organization\n\u201cC193 \u2013 Decent Work in the Platform Economy Convention, 2026 (No. 193)\u201d. This\nConvention, which was adopted at the 114th International Labour\nConference, established the first international labour standards governing\ndigital labour platforms, covering issues such as employment status, social protection,\noccupational safety and health, collective rights and algorithmic management.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">In his keynote address, the Acting Labour Minister described\nMauritius as a vibrant, modern society anchored by social dialogue, fundamental\nworkers' rights, and strong democratic institutions. Tracing the evolution of\nthe Mauritian labour landscape back to the eras of slavery and indentured\nlabour, Mr Subron noted that regional bodies like the ARLAC are deeply rooted\nin a shared mission: ensuring society never regresses to treating labour as a\nmere commodity.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">\"All member States share a common DNA,\" Mr\nSubron stated, pointing out that most African nations bear the structural scars\nof colonial labour regimes, that is, systems originally designed to extract output rather\nthan elevate human dignity. He expressed immense pride that the African\ncommunity refused to remain trapped in these historical paradigms, with member\nnations continually reinventing their labour administration, transforming\ncolonial mechanisms of control into robust, tripartite institutions dedicated\nto social justice, equity, and the protection of workers. \"Our modern\nlabour administrations today act as the frontline architects of social\njustice,\" Mr Subron remarked.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Looking forward, the Minister reminded that the\ndefinitions of \"work\" and the \"workplace\" are constantly\nshifting, urging ARLAC to remain forward-looking and adaptable in order to\nprepare for emerging global challenges. These include the rise of the digital\nworkforce, algorithmic management, the compounding consequences of the climate\nand ecological crises, and ongoing geopolitical conflicts.<br><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mr Subron highlighted ARLAC\u2019s vital role\nin driving peer learning, research, technical cooperation, the sharing of best\npractices, and regional dialogue. He emphasised that current training and\ncapacity-building programmes must equip labour administrations not only to\nmanage the complexities of today but to proactively anticipate the challenges\nof tomorrow.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">Welcoming the meeting and symposium, ARLAC Executive\nDirector, Mr Retselisitsoe Khetsi, indicated the gathering as a timely occasion\nto evaluate progress on the organisation's strategic plan. He described it as\nan opportunity to celebrate past achievements and resilience while proactively\naddressing new challenges and making necessary adjustments. Moreover, he\nstressed the need to work to make tangible differences on institutional\ncapacity and the empowerment of member countries.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The incoming Chairperson, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry\nof Labour and Industrial Relations, Mrs Bilkiss Rajahbalee-Cader, underlined\nthat ARLAC relies on the collective vision of its member States along with their\ninnovative ideas, and practical suggestions, to fulfil its core mandate of enhancing\nlabour administration systems. As the organisation navigates an evolving global\nand regional environment, she urged ARLAC to innovate and adapt, ultimately\nbuilding a more resilient framework capable of effectively serving the needs of\nits members.<\/p><\/p><p style='margin-top: 30px;
