AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Ebola Response, Burundi at the Center: Africa CDC chief Jean Kaseya warned that the DR Congo Ebola outbreak could become the “worst ever,” citing 837 cases and 196 deaths, plus tens of thousands of untraced contacts; Burundi’s AU chair Évariste Ndayishimiye urged science over fear, pushing against travel bans and calling for stronger cross-border cooperation and support for frontline workers. Funding Push: The AU-backed $518m plan is still short, with the US saying it has already provided $375m (about Sh48bn) and calling for more help, while the EU announced Ksh74.1bn (€493m) for medical operations, vaccines research, and health-system strengthening. New Support from India: India pledged $10m for preparedness, response, and recovery, noting it has already delivered 45 tonnes of medical supplies. Energy for Growth: Burundi inaugurated the Mulembwe Hydropower Plant, adding 17MW to the grid after nearly 12 years, with local jobs and skills training during construction. Regional Politics: The EAC began citizen consultations in Rwanda to draft a Constitution for the proposed Political Federation, the next step toward deeper East African integration. Hope Message: Pope Leo XIV urged Burundians to hold onto hope and reconciliation amid rebuilding after years of hardship.
