AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Ebola Crisis in Eastern DRC: WHO says the outbreak may have been circulating since February, with cases now surpassing 4,200 and deaths near 1,900 as response efforts lag; WHO and Africa CDC warn contact tracing is failing and call for village-level, community-led action, faster testing, and stronger protection for frontline health workers. Kinshasa Riverboat Scare: After a suspected Ebola death prompted quarantine near Kinshasa, authorities report no Ebola detected among quarantined passengers, easing fears of spread to the capital. Outbreak Worsening: WHO chief Tedros warns the virus is outpacing the scale-up, while health officials investigate whether the Bundibugyo strain is mutating and push vaccine research and stop-gap measures. Mining & Nuclear-Risk Claims: Kinshasa says it will investigate reports that uranium may be hidden in China-bound cobalt exports, while Chinese mining groups deny wrongdoing; the government also ordered a halt on exporting copper and cobalt concentrates to keep more value in-country. Clean Energy Push: A US–DRC partnership via ANSER targets up to 2 GW of clean power and rural electrification, aiming to unlock jobs and support mining-linked development. Health & Tech for Communities: Oxford researchers expand maternity-care quality work in rural DRC, and a Kinshasa-based firm joins an investment program focused on solar energy, agri-food, sanitation, and digital infrastructure. Public Services & Identity: DRC prepares its first census in 42 years, highlighting how many residents lack official documents and recognition.
