AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

School Feeding & NCDs: Africa’s school meal programmes are being pitched as a public health tool as type 2 diabetes and other non-communicable diseases rise, with coverage reaching 87 million children daily and governments increasingly funding meals from domestic budgets. Measles Alert: WHO estimates measles infections are up 8% globally versus pre-pandemic 2019 levels, with nearly 11 million expected cases in 2026 and higher risk of severe outcomes for undernourished people. Ebola Watch (DRC): The Ebola outbreak in eastern DRC is expanding across more provinces, with Africa CDC and WHO warning that shortages of staff, funding, and response capacity are slowing detection and contact tracing. Public Health Planning (Africa CDC): Africa CDC and AU states advanced a Behavioural Intelligence and Infodemic Management framework to improve how countries use community and information signals during outbreaks. Burundi-Linked Health Diplomacy: At BRICS in New Delhi, India and Burundi’s President (as AU chair) discussed healthcare cooperation and India’s support to Africa CDC during the Ebola response. Safety & Health Access (Refugees, South Africa): Durban’s Home Affairs pavement camp for refugees is being cleared, with buses to Lindela repatriation centre—an issue tied to exposure to illness and lack of healthcare during prolonged displacement.
