AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Ebola Alarm in Africa: A fast-moving Ebola outbreak in eastern DR Congo has killed at least 88 people, with two cases confirmed in Uganda and fears of more spread beyond borders; WHO has declared it a public health emergency, warning the detected cases may be only a fraction—especially as the Bundibugyo strain can be deadly and lacks proven tools to stop it. Aftermath in Sierra Leone & Liberia: Survivors are still struggling to rebuild lives after the 2014–16 West Africa crisis, facing poverty, stigma, and long-term health damage. Maternal Care Breakthrough: In Sierra Leone, a community health officer surgical training program (CapaCare) has helped cut maternal mortality risk by about two-thirds, with emergency obstetric care now available nationwide. Women’s Safety & Climate Stress: Across West Africa, groups are pushing for stronger action against violence against women, including cyberstalking and climate-driven vulnerability. ECOWAS Focus: ECOWAS Parliament adopted a resolution to protect street children and end exploitation. Power Disruption in Sierra Leone: Bumbuna’s 12-day maintenance shutdown starts 18 May, with parts of Freetown, Makeni and Magburaka affected.
