AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Ebola Response & Public Health: Uganda is feeling spillover from the DRC’s Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak, with health facilities in Ituri reporting staff falling ill, shortages of tests and PPE, and WHO warning the virus has a “big head-start” while responders “catch up.” Preparedness at Community Level: Ghana’s GHS urged handwashing and early reporting for fevers, stressing that faster presentation improves survival when no vaccine is available for the current strain. Local Industry Impact: Uganda’s shilling is forecast to face pressure as Ebola fears deter tourists, hitting dollar inflows at a time when energy-sector demand is strong. Agri & Food Prices: Rising beef prices in Uganda are linked to animal disease outbreaks and dry spells that cut cattle supply, with quarantines in cattle corridors tightening availability. Climate & Resilience Finance: Britam says it paid Sh97.3m in climate claims to 400,000+ farmers across Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, showing how weather shocks are pushing households toward risk insurance. Trade & Risk Insurance: AfDB approved a US$125m equity boost to ATIDI, aiming to expand political risk and credit insurance to unlock intra-African trade. Energy Infrastructure: African Energy Week 2026 will spotlight Eskom, ZESCO and Uganda’s UETCL as utilities push grid expansion and electrification to support industrial growth.
