AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Ebola Update: DR Congo’s Ebola outbreak has passed 1,000 confirmed cases (1,003) with 254 deaths, and health officials say it’s still in a “growth/ascending” phase, with contact tracing at about 58% versus a 95% target and response teams struggling to keep up. Aid & Response Boost: The WHO says the epidemic is evolving fast, while UK Public Health Rapid Support Team experts have been deployed to strengthen infection control, epidemiology, risk communication, and community engagement across eastern DRC. Hidden Scale Warning: Oxfam warns the true number of infections may be far higher due to poor sanitation, limited water access, weak testing, and under-reporting in remote areas. Digital Identity Push: Trident Digital Tech Holdings says it has activated RDC-PASS, a national digital identity ecosystem launched in Kinshasa under a 20-year public-private partnership, aiming to modernize public services and enable secure citizen access to systems. Colonial Archive Fight: Congo has asked Belgium to return hundreds of colonial-era skulls and is also pushing for digitization of mineral archives, as Belgium’s AfricaMuseum resists proposals to transfer data used for critical minerals. Conflict Watch: Reporting highlights how drones and multi-front offensives are escalating the DRC–M23 crisis, with US and Rwanda-linked concerns shaping the diplomatic stakes.
