Monday 19 October, 2026 New analysis by Liver Cancer UK of Office for National Statistics (ONS) mortality data has revealed that deaths from liver cancer are rising faster than those from any other major cancer in England and Wales. The number of annual deaths from liver cancer climbed from 4,696 in 2016 to 5,953 in 2025, an increase of 26.8%. Of the 19 cancer groups examined, liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer ranked first for both the percentage rise and the increase in the number of deaths. Its crude death rate also rose from 8.1 to 9.7 per 100,000 people, an increase of 1.6 per 100,000 people. The rise outstripped every other cancer group in the analysis. Overall, annual deaths increased in 12 of the 19 cancer groups examined and fell in seven. Deaths from liver cancer stand in stark contrast to progress on several other major cancers: deaths from lung cancer fell by 10.1%, while stomach cancer deaths fell by 17.2%. Breast cancer deaths also fell by 4.1% and ovarian cancer deaths by 15.8%. Despite advances in the treatment of many cancers, liver cancer remains one of the deadliest. It often develops with few or subtle symptoms, meaning many people are diagnosed only after the disease has advanced, when treatment options are more limited. Only around 13% of people diagnosed with liver cancer survive for five years or more, falling to 8% at ten years. These figures highlight the critical need for better prevention and earlier diagnosis. Liver Cancer UK, part of Liver UK, is calling for a comprehensive public health response that improves awareness of symptoms and risk factors, helps prevent liver disease and ensures people at higher risk are identified and offered regular surveillance so that cancer can be found at a stage when treatment is more likely to be successful. This new analysis is being released during October, which is Liver Cancer Awareness Month, underlining the need to improve understanding of liver cancer and the importance of earlier diagnosis. Pamela Healy, Chief Executive at Liver UK, the new name for the British Liver Trust said: “The sharp rise in deaths should be a wake-up call. While deaths from some major cancers are falling, liver cancer deaths are rising, and we cannot accept that as inevitable. “We know much of the risk is linked to liver disease, and there are opportunities to make a real difference. We need stronger action on prevention and better identification of people at increased risk to ensure they receive regular surveillance. “Finding liver cancer earlier can mean more treatment options and a better chance of survival. These figures must be a catalyst for action, not simply another set of statistics. We owe it to the people behind the numbers to change the direction of travel.” Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer in the UK. The biggest risk factor is pre-existing liver disease. Excess weight, viral hepatitis and alcohol misuse are among the leading causes of liver disease, and people living with cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis are at particularly high risk of developing liver cancer. Possible symptoms include unexplained weight loss, jaundice, abdominal pain or swelling, loss of appetite and persistent fatigue. These symptoms can have many causes, but anyone concerned about them should seek medical advice. Liver Cancer UK is urging the NHS to prioritise the identification and surveillance of people at increased risk, alongside action to reduce preventable liver disease and improve public awareness. Anyone concerned about possible symptoms or their risk of liver disease should seek medical advice, and trusted information about liver cancer, risk factors, symptoms and support is available at livercanceruk.org.
By Isha Johansen, former CAF (www.CAFonline.com) Executive Committee Member and the first West African woman to serve on the FIFA Council. For years, Africa has been known for its growth story. Investment has flowed, new tech has been growing fast, and a young, active population has inspired hope for the future. Women’s football now offers another lens through which to consider that progress. Following the conclusion of the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Rabat, Casablanca and Fez, the question is what happens next: whether the momentum generated by the tournament can translate into sustained investment in women’s football, stronger structures and more opportunities for the next generation of players. This tournament was much more than sport. It was a moment to spotlight gender equality, inclusion, and the changing role of women in African sports. For too long, women’s sports have been seen as charity projects or CSR boxes to tick; not real investments. That’s changing. Stadiums are filling, fans are showing up, and real money is finally coming in. The message is clear: women’s football is no longer a side issue; it’s a huge opportunity Africa can’t afford to ignore. Global revenues from women’s sports are expected to reach at least $3 billion in 2026, an increase of 340% in four years (https://apo-opa.co/3U7pm41). In Africa, the true value is still unknown. Most of the investment comes from sports associations, governments, and a handful of sponsors. Ticket sales and big broadcast deals are exceptions, not the rule. So women’s sports here are half-in, half-out: there’s new investment, but plenty of hurdles remain. Some progress has been made, however. This year, the Confederation of African Football doubled Women’s Africa Cup of Nations prize money to $5.8 million, with $2 million for the winners. Last year, Nigeria’s NWFL Premiership landed its biggest private investment, a ten-year, ₦20 billion partnership, while South Africa’s Women’s League secured a R17 million naming rights deal. The Women’s Africa Cup of Nations featured 16 teams, and money from TV and sponsors went up by 40%. Matches were shown on more than one hundred channels. Real interest grew across the continent. Africa’s fans, young and energetic, followed their teams on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Despite the progress and growing support from fans, challenges remain. Top female players are leaving for Europe or the US, where their skills are valued and rewarded. Without money from TV deals or steady support from local fans, women’s sports here will keep relying on outside help and quick fixes. In South Africa, a few years ago, women’s national team players earned just a tenth of what the men did. The gap is closing, but it’s not gone. Women are still few in sports leadership roles, and coaching jobs mostly go to men. But pioneers like South Africa’s Desiree Ellis and Kenya’s Beldine Odemba show what’s possible when women get a real shot: excellence follows. Mentorship is central to that possibility. Behind every player and coach who broke through, there was almost always someone who opened a door, offered guidance, or made room at the table. Formal mentorship programmes, pairing rising talent with experienced players, coaches, and administrators, gave young women a clearer path into leadership roles that had long been closed to them. To turn potential into progress, more is needed than just a few stars. Governments, sports bodies, and private investors must team up by building partnerships, investing in training grounds, leadership, mentorship, and the kind of infrastructure that lasts. The private sector can’t afford to sit this out. New models like sportswomen-driven content, streaming platforms, and direct fan engagement can break old barriers. Organisations like Tibu Africa, a leading NGO empowering young people through sport, show how football can drive wider social change by building opportunities and breaking down barriers. Their work reminds us that every girl deserves a shot at the game and demonstrates the impact that partnerships between the private sector, government, and civil society can have. Governments must make investing in women’s sports worthwhile, guarantee fairness, and keep things transparent. Regional bodies should align standards, share resources, and channel funds into grassroots development. And media matters too: having more women on camera or working behind the scenes changes opinions and gives new role models the chance to shine. TotalEnergies’ partnership with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) is more than a sponsorship. It’s a commitment to building African football from the grassroots up, creating lasting opportunities for players, fans, and communities. Supporting CAF helps raise the visibility of women’s football and strengthens the sport as a force for unity and inclusion across the continent. This investment reflects an alignment of values: sustainable development, community empowerment, and celebrating Africa’s potential. If Africa misses this window, old gaps will widen, and the chance to lead in women’s sports could be lost. But if we step up now, the rewards are huge: jobs, tourism, and growth everywhere you look. This tournament is more than a trophy. It’s a test of whether Africa will build up its talent or watch it leave. The final whistle will pick a winner, but what happens next will show whether Africa is ready to make women’s football central to its future.

Kowatek Solar LTD (www.Kowatek.com) observes that two neighbouring markets have moved distributed and grid-support solar from announcement to money, offering a practical template for the segment Nigeria’s new Distributed Renewable Energy Fund is designed to finance. On 2 October 2026 the African Development Bank said Qair’s Gassi and Lamadji hybrid plants in Chad had reached financial close and first disbursement. The projects total 30 MWp of solar with 8 MWh of battery storage, under a 20-year power purchase agreement with Tchadelec. A €37.9 million package was structured by the Bank with Proparco, the Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa and the Green Climate Fund. The plants sit inside Desert to Power and Mission 300. In Kenya, the Off-Grid Solar Access Project is the parallel story for places the grid will not reach soon. Contracts worth about $64 million have been signed as part of the $150 million World Bank-backed KOSAP programme, covering 113 mini-grids in arid and semi-arid counties and stand-alone solar for hundreds of clinics, schools and offices. The wider programme targets more than two million people in 14 counties, including stand-alone systems and about 146 solar mini-grids. The common design is hybrid: solar, storage, and a clear customer, whether that customer is a utility, a clinic or a trading community. Nigeria’s $300 million DRE Fund is built for the same design, at larger scale and with more emphasis on local developers.
