Safe Water Map: A new global data map highlights that more than 2 billion people still lack safely managed drinking water, with access near-universal in parts of Europe and North America but far below 20% in several low-income countries—an urgent reminder for Guinea-Bissau’s water and sanitation planning. Electricity for Health: Africa’s electrification push is moving, with Mission 300 reporting over 50 million new electricity connections since 2023; the report links power access to practical gains like health clinics refrigerating vaccines, plus jobs and schooling—relevant for Guinea-Bissau’s health service reliability. Electrification Gaps: Despite progress, the same Mission 300 reporting shows major disparities, including countries still recording no new connections under the programme, underscoring the need to close last-mile gaps that affect health facilities. Policy Context: A practitioner-focused EU sanctions explainer notes expanding sanctions coverage and the need for businesses to build compliance into operations—useful background for health-sector suppliers working across borders.
