AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Ebola Crisis in Congo: WHO chief Tedros says DR Congo’s fast-growing Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak is on track to eclipse the 2014–2016 West Africa disaster, with deaths now over 2,000 and cases above 4,300; sequencing suggests it began months earlier than first declared, and conflict plus weak health access are helping it outrun response. Vaccine Talks and Trial Plans: DRC and WHO are pushing to start a Phase 3 clinical trial for an Ebola vaccine that targets a different strain, while WHO has also reversed earlier guidance to allow the Ervebo vaccine to be considered for this outbreak. New Virus Variant Identified: Scientists report a new transmission cluster behind the 2026 outbreak in DR Congo and Uganda, pointing to an animal-to-human jump and calling for stronger local diagnostics and genomic surveillance. Local Industry Push: Minister David Bahati toured factories to back value addition and jobs, highlighting local sourcing at Mesha Steel and export wins at Korica, while warning one herbal jelly firm faces financial strain. Youth and Skills: AHF urges leaders to invest in young people’s health and futures, as the EAC launches an AI innovation drive in Arusha to boost ebola detection and preparedness. Uganda’s Economy Watch: IMF warns Uganda’s debt could rise to 55.5% of GDP as the budget deficit widens, urging tighter spending and stronger revenue collection.
