AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Ebola Response Under Pressure: Africa CDC says it’s still too early to declare the DRC Ebola outbreak under control, even as cases appear to be declining and some health zones report no new cases for weeks; officials warn the epidemic is still evolving and transmission remains active in many areas. WHO Warns Rapid Spread: WHO says the outbreak is spreading faster than response efforts, with Ituri driving most cases and deaths, and many fatalities occurring in communities—raising alarms about undetected chains and unsafe burials. Mobile Data for Targeting: Health teams and researchers are using anonymized mobile-phone data to map population movement and spot where the virus could spread next, aiming to direct limited surveillance and response resources more effectively. Payroll Problems Hit Frontline Care: Reports say Ebola checkpoints and staff lists are being disrupted by unpaid workers and “fictitious” names on payment rolls, forcing the government to clean payroll data and slowing essential screening, treatment, and infection-control work. Vaccination Starts for Frontline Workers: The DRC has begun vaccinating health workers with Ervebo under a compassionate-use approach in Kisangani, while trials continue to assess protection against the Bundibugyo strain driving this outbreak. Security and Diplomacy: Netanyahu hosted President Tshisekedi as Kinshasa seeks more security help and Israel looks to expand mining-linked economic ties, while eastern DRC fighting continues with government offensives aimed at pressuring M23.
