AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Ebola Response Boost: WHO and Africa CDC unveiled a $518m plan for the DRC and Uganda (June–November), targeting coordination, surveillance, testing, infection prevention, clinical care and community engagement as confirmed DRC cases sit around 380 with 60 deaths and Uganda reports 19 cases. Public Trust & Misinformation: In the DRC, rumors are driving resistance to Ebola science, with reports of arson attacks and fears that outbreaks may be bigger than official figures suggest due to gaps in contact tracing. Consumer Protection Tech: Ghana’s “VERIFY BEFORE YOU BUY” campaign urges shoppers to use mobile phones to spot counterfeits via QR/barcode checks, with workshops planned across regional and district capitals. Diamond Marketing Push: De Beers ramps up its “Desert Diamonds” push to grow demand for natural stones and differentiate them from synthetics, spotlighting key producer economies like Namibia, Botswana, Angola and South Africa. Counter-Drone Trials: U.S. AFRICOM completed a second field evaluation of CURTAIN CALL, showing it can detect, track and defeat drone threats using defensive swarms—relevant for base and force protection. Creative & Media Industry: Artefact named Starburst’s 2026 Emerging Partner of the Year, reflecting momentum in data/AI transformation partnerships.
