Build a Holiday Creator Affiliate Program in 90 Days
Holiday planning is already in full gear, and the pressure is on for ecommerce brands to generate demand.
Creator affiliate marketing can help by connecting more of your marketing spend to measurable performance. But creators are already locking in their holiday content calendars 90 days out, and brands who wait too long lose the runway they need to build momentum before the holidays.
The 90-Day Holiday Sprint is a practical guide from Levanta that breaks down building a creator affiliate program with checkpoints at Day 30, Day 60, and Day 90, so your program is live and capturing holiday demand instead of scrambling to catch up.
Inside, you’ll find how to:
Establish the right products and commission structure
Recruit and activate creator partners
Use early results to optimize the program
Scale proven partnerships during the holidays

ECONOMY · NIGERIA
Nigeria's reforms pass the investor test. The public test is harder.
Nigeria's government says fuel subsidy removal and foreign-exchange reforms have helped stabilise public finances, strengthen reserves and attract investment. But the reforms have also intensified pressure on household incomes, widening the gap between improving macroeconomic indicators and everyday economic experience.
POLICY · EGYPT
Egypt is changing how it supports millions of households
Egypt plans to expand its cash-subsidy system to cover a wider range of essential foods as it moves away from the traditional model of providing selected goods through ration cards.
The change could give households more flexibility, but it also leaves the government more exposed to inflation and changes in food prices.
ECONOMY · ZAMBIA
Zambia has stability. Investors now want growth.
President Hakainde Hichilema's re-election has given investors the policy continuity they wanted after a first term dominated by debt restructuring and IMF-backed reforms.
The next challenge is translating that stability into stronger investment and growth, with copper expansion and a potential new IMF programme among the major tests ahead.

GLOBAL MARKETS
Global markets end the week with one eye on oil and the other on bonds
Global markets closed a difficult week with investors weighing high government bond yields, elevated oil prices and continued geopolitical uncertainty. The dollar weakened during the week, while gold rose and oil remained elevated.
For African economies, these moves do not point in one direction. A weaker dollar and higher commodity prices can support exporters and commodity-linked currencies, while expensive oil creates the opposite problem for fuel-importing countries.
THE AFRICA ANGLE: The same global market environment is creating winners and losers across Africa—sometimes at the same time.
