AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoEbola Tech & Data: Congo’s Ebola response is turning to anonymous mobile phone movement data, with WHO-backed researchers using anonymised records (via Flowminder and Vodacom) to spot where the virus may spread next—aiming to guide limited resources as cases climb across six provinces. Community-Led Health: Africa CDC says containment is being overwhelmed by insecurity and displacement, so authorities are shifting to a village-centred approach with community leaders to improve trust, reporting, and surveillance—after major gaps were flagged, including many deaths occurring outside treatment centres. Ebola Numbers: Congo’s outbreak is reported at about 6,000+ confirmed cases and roughly 3,000 deaths, with officials warning it likely hasn’t peaked yet. Wildlife Crime Tech: Vietnam seized 1.2 tons of elephant ivory and big-cat bones hidden inside Congo timber crates using scanning and lab tests—another sign of how sophisticated trafficking networks are. AI/Industry in Congo: SLB’s planned $4.1B Kelvion acquisition targets cooling tech for data centres and power systems, with SLB operating across Congo and other African markets.
