AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Patent & Access: PATAM and Third World Network filed a Third-Party Observation at ARIPO challenging Gilead Sciences’ broad HIV integrase inhibitor patent, arguing earlier disclosures and prior science undermine novelty and inventive step—potentially affecting patent rights across ARIPO’s 21 contracting states including Eswatini. Creative Industries: KrTC (Thamsanqa ‘KrTC’ Sibandze) was unveiled as the new NACA chair, with NACA 2026 shifting from just recognition to artist development, expanding categories to 55 under the theme “From Recognition to Development.” Competition & SME Growth: Eswatini’s Commerce, Industry and Trade Minister Manqoba Khumalo urged ESCC and ESWASA to help level the playing field for SMEs, warning that large firms can crowd out smaller traders and stressing the need for empowered institutions. Digital Payments: MTN Mobile Money API training encouraged developers to build revenue-generating apps using MoMo payments, with healthcare flagged as a key sector for direct digital transactions. Regional Trade Talks: South Africa’s CTICC2 will host major SACU meetings from 18–26 June, bringing together Eswatini and others to discuss customs and ways to strengthen intra-regional trade. Food & Climate Policy: The Rural Women’s Assembly called for governments to put women smallholder farmers at the centre of food and climate policy, citing their role in resilient food systems across Southern and Eastern Africa.
