AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Ebola Response Funding: WHO and Africa CDC have launched a joint six-month Ebola preparedness and response plan for the Bundibugyo strain, mobilising US$518m (June–November) under a “One Response” approach covering surveillance, labs, infection control, clinical care, logistics and community engagement. DRC Outbreak Update: The DRC’s Ituri outbreak is still accelerating in pockets, with health teams intensifying testing as cases and deaths rise, while Uganda reports linked fatalities and continues monitoring. US Support for Africa: The US added US$38m to Ebola response efforts, warning the outbreak could rival the 2014–2016 crisis without strong public health action. Local Security Staffing: UPDF announced recruitment of over 10,000 personnel (June–August) to replace retiring officers, with online applications running 10–24 June. Tourism & Infrastructure: Construction of Kidepo International Airport has started in Karenga, backed by Sharjah partners, aiming to boost Karamoja tourism, jobs and market access for local products. Agri-Finance Summit: Kenya will host the FINAS 2026 agri-food systems financing summit in late June/early July to tackle a $100bn agriculture funding gap. Export Readiness: Uganda’s export push faces compliance gaps, with authorities urging exporters and trade agencies to meet global standards to unlock market access. Industrial Skills Drive: Mbale Skills Expo is set to connect young people with practical training and industry opportunities as manufacturers seek job-ready talent. Brand Signals: A survey shows African brands rebounding to 15% of the Top 100, with Standard Bank leading financial services.
