Africa Energy Bank: A Defining Test for Africa’s Energy Sovereignty and Just Transition

The Africa Energy Bank (AEB), formally established by APPO and Afreximbank and announced in Abuja on 31 October 2026, marks a step toward African-led energy finance. With US$5 billion in authorised capital, it is intended to fund projects across the energy value chain, as about 600 million Africans lack electricity and more than one billion lack clean cooking access. Gabriel Aduda argues that the bank should go beyond financing oil and gas extraction to support infrastructure, industrial development, jobs and affordable energy access. Its success will depend on sound governance and balancing energy security, equity and environmental sustainability.

Douala Port: CCJA Declares Itself Incompetent in Dispute over FCFA 9.17 Billion in Dividends Claimed by Staff

The OHADA Common Court of Justice and Arbitration (CCJA) ruled that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the Port of Douala’s appeal against an arbitration award ordering it to pay FCFA 9.17 billion to the Autonomous Union of Port Workers of Cameroon. In judgment No. 125/2026, dated June 4, 2026, the court said the dispute over the dividends falls under Cameroonian labour law. The dividends stem from a 6% stake in Douala International Terminal, comprising 24,000 shares acquired by the port authority for FCFA 240 million for its staff. The port disputes its employees’ right to the dividends it received between 2005 and 2018.

Standardized invoices: a tool for transparency and tax revenue mobilization without creating a new tax (Op-Ed)

Lionel Kubuya Nyandu, an expert in public policy monitoring and evaluation specializing in Congolese taxation, explains how standardized invoices can help mobilize revenue in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Issued through a tax electronic device recognized by the DGI and authenticated with a code and QR code, the invoice records transaction parties, goods or services, amounts, and applicable taxes. For VAT, it documents both the tax charged and the tax paid on business purchases, helping tax authorities compare declared sales with invoicing data and identify omissions, inconsistencies, and fraud. The system primarily strengthens oversight of domestic transactions and does not introduce a new tax.
