AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoEbola Response: DRC expanded Ebola vaccination to Ituri, vaccinating 3,700+ people with Ervebo and launching MSF’s BRAVO study in Bunia to follow about 20,000 frontline workers (health and trial design for the Bundibugyo strain). Outbreak Dynamics: WHO says the epidemic remains “uncontrolled” and increasingly uneven: Ituri is on a downward slope while North Kivu is rising fast, with treatment capacity near saturation. New Case Risk: A fatal Ebola case was detected far from the epicentre in Sud-Ubangi after travel via Rwanda and Uganda, raising fears of many contacts across provinces and borders. Clinical Trials & Modelling: CEPI committed $3.9M to boost surveillance, lab work, genomics, and modelling for Bundibugyo response in DRC and Uganda, supporting vaccine trial readiness. AI & Information Integrity: Anthropic reported misuse of its Claude AI in DRC-focused influence operations using fake news sites to push pro-government narratives tied to the Rwanda conflict. Carbon Markets: DRC signed an ordinance-law creating a national carbon market and a sovereign agentic-AI digital registry for Article 6 mitigation records. Education Under Strain: Students in Goma and Bukavu demand resumption of classes and research after suspensions in public higher education institutions.
