AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Ebola Response in East Africa: The EAC is pushing a more coordinated fight against the ongoing Ebola outbreak, with ministers agreeing to harmonise screening and protective measures across airports, ports and land borders, and to set up a regional technical task force to coordinate surveillance, testing, infection control and rapid response. Funding and Supplies: Kenya is set to receive KSh647 million for Africa CDC and WHO Ebola preparedness, while UNICEF has dispatched over 100 metric tons of emergency supplies to the DRC, including PPE, medicines and WASH materials. Travel Precautions: St. Vincent and the Grenadines issued a strict travel advisory naming high-risk countries including Burundi, and regional efforts are also using risk-based traveller screening systems to catch potential cases early. Regional Health Capacity: Germany’s KfW committed Ksh150 million to support mobile labs, diagnostics and lab training across the region, as health officials stress that faster detection and safer care are key to stopping cross-border spread. Health Workforce Training: Merck Foundation highlighted continued cancer care capacity building in Burundi through scholarships and oncology training linked to World Cancer Day. Labour and Health Access: Kuwait’s new domestic worker recruitment rules ban hiring from 27 countries (including Burundi) and allow recruitment from only 10 approved sources, with some restrictions applying to female workers.
