AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoWorld Cup & Health Compliance: FECOFA and FIFA say the DRC Leopards delegation is fully compliant with U.S. Ebola entry rules, after Kinshasa’s camp was canceled and staff complete a 21-day stay in Europe before traveling.

Regional Coordination: Africa CDC and health leaders in Kampala push cross-border surveillance and preparedness across DRC, Uganda, and neighbors, while WFP scales up emergency logistics to keep response moving. Mobility & Isolation Measures: Bunia flight suspensions and border curbs aim to slow spread, but humanitarian and medical exceptions continue.
