AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Ebola Response: The UNDP warns the DRC’s Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak could cost Africa $3.6B, push nearly 1M people into poverty, and risk 300,000 jobs as confirmed cases climb to 1,307 with 377 deaths (June 30 figures). Clinical Breakthrough: WHO-backed trials have begun enrolling patients for experimental care, testing MBP134 monoclonal antibodies and remdesivir alongside supportive treatment in Ituri. Diagnostics Upgrade: WHO added the first molecular Bundibugyo test to its Emergency Use Listing, aiming to speed up confirmation and surveillance. International Support: A second Chinese medical expert team arrived in Kinshasa to bolster lab work, case management, infection control, and training. Containment Pressure: Health authorities cite community resistance to post-mortem sampling, limited treatment capacity, weak contact tracing, supply shortages, and insecurity. Conflict Minerals: The US sanctioned Rwandan firms tied to M23 financing through illicit minerals trade, spotlighting how mining fuels instability in eastern DRC. Local Tech & Industry: Congo is moving toward a dual-currency Kinshasa stock exchange (franc and USD) to attract investment, including from mining. Conservation Science: Lola ya Bonobo runs the world’s only sanctuary for orphaned bonobos, fighting poaching and bushmeat demand with rescue and education.
