AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoEbola Update: DR Congo’s Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak is still expanding, with cases reported at 7,404 and deaths at 3,577 as transmission shifts from Ituri (entering a downward slope) to North Kivu, where treatment capacity is near saturation and the epidemic curve is still rising. WHO Warning: The WHO says the outbreak remains “uncontrolled” and increasingly uneven across regions, even as some areas see declines. New Spread West: Ebola has reached Sud-Ubangi, the seventh province, after a fatal case was confirmed far from the epicenter, raising fears of wider exposure via travel routes. CEPI Boost for Trials: CEPI pledged $3.9 million to strengthen surveillance and modelling in DRC and Uganda, supporting lab and genomic work and clinical trial readiness for Bundibugyo vaccine candidates. Carbon Policy + Tech Governance: DRC signed an ordinance-law creating a carbon market regime and a sovereign “Agentic-AI” national carbon registry under Article 6. Public Health Shock: A school fire and stampede in Bukavu killed at least 26 children, underlining ongoing emergency and safety gaps in eastern Congo.
