AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoEbola Update (DRC): The Ministry of Health says the Ebola outbreak has passed its peak, with new cases declining and the reproduction rate dropping from 1.15 to 0.97; 19 of 63 health zones have reported no new cases for over 21 days, including 11 for over 42 days, but transmission is still active in hotspots in Ituri and North Kivu. Funding & Accountability: Kinshasa says about $227 million was mobilised for the first phase, with roughly $99 million unused, and only 25% of 97 partners have justified funds; from now on, partners must be accredited and disclose funding sources and spending. Response Plan (180 days): A preparedness and response plan for the next 180 days was presented in Kinshasa, costing $1.2 billion, to keep surveillance, isolation, contact tracing, prevention, and community work running. Caution on Reported Declines: Africa CDC warns the recent drop may reflect surveillance gaps, while MSF says the true death toll is likely higher due to case-detection problems. Recoveries in Beni: Ten Ebola-positive patients were discharged cured from treatment centers in Beni, the first recoveries since the city’s resurgence. International Support: France’s foreign minister pledged assistance after meeting President Tshisekedi, with plans to visit Bunia in Ituri.
