AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Ebola Crisis in the Great Lakes: Burundi’s AU chair Évariste Ndayishimiye led an emergency push to speed up the Bundibugyo Ebola response in DR Congo and Uganda, with US$910m pledged and leaders urging rapid release of the US$518m joint plan—while Africa CDC warns transmission is still sustained by missed contacts, insecurity, and funding gaps. Ebola Numbers Climb: DR Congo reported 247 deaths as confirmed cases rose to 956, and WHO says the outbreak is evolving fast; Africa CDC also notes contact-tracing coverage has fallen, and testing kits have run short in some labs. Cross-Border Health Security: Africa CDC says AU members should strengthen exit screening at airports, seaports, and major land crossings—without blanket travel bans that can backfire. Burundi Water & Disease Prevention: Burundi launched a US$90m clean water and sanitation project near Lake Tanganyika, targeting 615,000 people and aiming to cut water-related illness risk. Maternal Health Access: Midwives from high-burden countries, including Burundi, were reportedly blocked by visa refusals at a key global congress, raising alarm for mother-and-baby health progress. Mental Health & Safety: In Gitega, two deaths by hanging in one day have triggered renewed concern about insecurity and the need for clear investigations.
