AGP Executive Report
Last update: 27 minutes agoEbola Spread: The outbreak has reached eight DRC provinces, with cases nearing 10,000 and deaths topping 4,600. Africa CDC calls it the most geographically widespread Ebola outbreak on record; infections have also been reported in Uganda, Kenya and Nigeria, raising concerns about cross-border spread. Children at Risk: MSF says children are being hit hard, especially in North Kivu, and warns that weak infection controls in general health facilities may expose children seeking care for other illnesses. The group says children must be included in research on vaccines and treatments for the Bundibugyo strain. Ebola Funding: Africa CDC says donors disbursed $962 million to response partners, but authorities have received financial details for only about $220 million. The agency says the gap reflects funds not yet reconciled, not necessarily misappropriation. Separately, watchdog ACAJ has asked the Inspectorate General of Finance to investigate $50 million reportedly allocated by the government to the Health Ministry.
