AGP Executive Report

Last update: 35 minutes ago

Ebola Watch (DRC→Uganda→South Sudan): WHO modelling says a rare Bundibugyo Ebola strain has confirmed transmission in Uganda and carries nearly a 70% chance of reaching South Sudan within weeks, with researchers urging border surveillance, contact tracing, and safe burials as the outbreak spreads faster than response capacity. UN Funding for Preparedness (Burundi & South Sudan): The UN released $8 million from the CERF to strengthen Ebola readiness in Burundi and South Sudan—boosting surveillance, labs, case management, infection control, and support for frontline health workers—despite no confirmed cases yet. Cross-border Risk on Burundi’s Lake Shore: In Kajaga, fishermen fear Ebola could cross from the DRC via frequent boat traffic and say hygiene support is undermined by damaged standpipes after floods. Saudi Travel Curbs (Ebola Prevention): Saudi Arabia suspended travel and visa issuance for citizens and travelers linked to the DRC, Uganda, and South Sudan, while also tightening screening for nearby countries including Burundi. Local Health & Wellness (NCDs): CRDB Bank backed Dodoma’s Wellness Day with sports, screenings, and talks on nutrition and mental health to help curb non-communicable diseases. Drug Recovery in Burundi: As International Day Against Drug Abuse is marked, Strong Bridge in Bujumbura reports helping hundreds of young people recover since 2021, with counselling and school awareness campaigns.
