AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoEbola Spread: North Ubangi is now the eighth province affected by the Bundibugyo outbreak, with two cases confirmed, including one death. By Oct. 16, the DRC had recorded 9,415 cases and 4,536 deaths. The new cases near the Central African Republic border add pressure to a response already challenged by gaps in surveillance and contact tracing. Response Funding: Africa CDC says more than $700 million of $962 million in donor funding cannot yet be traced by national authorities; it has not said the money was stolen. Only about 30% of implementing partners shared financial details in a review. Separately, rights group ACAJ has asked the finance inspectorate to investigate $50 million reportedly sent by the government to the Health Ministry. Children at Risk: MSF says children are especially affected in North Kivu and Ituri and urges their inclusion in Ebola research. It warns that weak infection-control measures in general health facilities may expose children seeking care for other illnesses.
