How financing farmers advance Africa’s agriculture industry – New Business
The need to create innovative financing mechanisms for Africa’s farmers and revaluate existing ones is becoming increasingly critical as the continent faces compounded challenges, including climate change, low productivity, and conflict. The agricultural sector is the economic backbone of Africa, where an estimated 33 million smallholder farms and the farmers who live on them contribute to 70% of the continent’s food supply. Climate change also modifies the properties of soil, both chemically and physically leading to land degradation. The president of the African agricultural transformation institution, AGRA, Dr Agnes Kalibata, estimates that land degradation costs farmers up to $1,400 per year. Substantial investment in Africa’s agricultural sector is needed, however, the visible impacts of climate change have caused investors to be wary.

Newcomers Discover Ararat in Settlement Activity Tour
Council hosted the first of several planned bus tours as part of its Ararat Settlement Activity program, a project delivered with funding received from the Wyndham Community Education Centre. Previously named the Ararat New Settlement Program - a highly successful venture, which attracted over 40 new residents into secure, long-term jobs - this event is a continuation of the partnership between Council and the Wyndham Community Education Centre. The tour began at Windham Community Education Centre's offices, with an early chartered bus pick-up of 10 participants, whose nationalities included Burmese, Chin, Kongo and Ethiopian. While this tour focused on attracting job seekers from Melbourne's western suburbs, the program also extends to other culturally and linguistically diverse job seekers looking for a new start in Ararat. "The Ararat Settlement Activity bus tour is a terrific way to showcase the potential of our community to newcomers seeking a new start," says Ararat Rural City Council CEO, Dr Tim Harrison.

Ethiopia: Assessing The Pretoria Peace Agreement
Ethiopia: Assessing The Pretoria Peace AgreementIn mid-March this year, Prime Minister Abiy engaged in discussions with delegates and representatives from the Tigray region concerning the preservation of the Pretoria Peace Agreement and the formulation of a sustainable way forward. Implementation of the Pretoria agreement has been sluggish, principally due to deficient disarmament of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). According to the letter of the Peace Agreement, disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) of TPLF fighters was to take precedence. This of course goes against the spirit of the Pretoria Peace Agreement, which precludes all parties from making inflammatory statements or instigating tension. As skepticism emerges on the continued viability of the Pretoria Peace Agreement, it remains to be seen whether the conflicting parties and the mediators will take the difficult steps needed to implement the envisaged peace.

Ethiopia Sees Rise in Foreign Investment
Ethiopia attracted USD 3 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) during the first 10 months of the current fiscal year. This figure is expected to put the Ethiopian Investment Commission on track to meet its annual target of USD 3.5 billion. Commissioner Hanna Arayaselassie highlighted the creation of 75,000 jobs in industrial parks fueled by foreign investment. Ethiopia currently leads Eastern Africa in FDI inflow, but the EIC sees even greater potential. The government claims that it actively supports foreign firms with incentives, infrastructure upgrades, and a reliable energy supply.

Expectations for China are slightly less optimistic, with three-quarters expecting moderate growth and only 4% predicting strong growth this year.
