AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Ebola Response Pressure: The WHO has declared the DRC’s fast-moving Ebola outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, with reports of 500+ cases and 130 deaths by 19 May—after the alert was raised only days earlier—while responders warn containment will be hard as the outbreak expands beyond early hotspots. Power Crisis in Freetown: Sierra Leone’s capital is stuck in worsening blackouts as Karpowership output remains far below contract levels (about 5.6–6MW vs expected 45MW in the dry season), with a prolonged government debt dispute blamed for the shortfall and the Bumbuna plant’s maintenance adding strain. US–MCC Energy Push: The US Embassy reaffirmed support for Sierra Leone’s $480m MCC power-sector reform, signaling renewed momentum for expanding reliable electricity access. Climate Accountability: The UN General Assembly moved to operationalize the ICJ climate advisory opinion, while Sierra Leone is among countries cited as helping drive the resolution. City Works, Climate-Linked: Freetown’s CBD pavement upgrades and solar street-light plans continue, alongside broader urban resilience efforts.
