AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Ebola Watch: Burundi has stepped up Ebola surveillance after the DR Congo outbreak, with tighter screening at border entry points, temperature checks, temporary monitoring structures, training for health workers, and rapid detection kits—because affected areas are under 400 km away and linked by regular travel routes like the Bujumbura–Goma corridor. WHO Escalation: The WHO has declared the DRC and Uganda Ebola situation a public health emergency of international concern, as cases and deaths continue to rise and no Bundibugyo-specific vaccine or licensed treatment is available. Regional Readiness: Tanzania is also strengthening readiness measures at borders, while Uganda has confirmed cases in Kampala tied to travel from the DRC. Travel Context: Separate from health alerts, China’s May 1 zero-tariff deal is already showing early impact for African exporters, with Kenya’s first avocado shipments reaching China under the new terms.
