Last update: 12 hours ago

Ebola Response in Congo: WHO and Africa CDC rolled out a $518m emergency plan to curb the eastern Congo Ebola outbreak, using a “One-Response” approach as cases rise and labs face supply stockouts.

Wildlife Tech for Conservation: Rwanda is expanding environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring to track endangered golden monkeys and other species with less disturbance to habitats. Energy Policy: A report warns fossil-fuel wealth in Africa hasn’t delivered inclusive development, citing extractive economies, weak jobs, and inequality. Wildlife Crime Cooperation: The UAE urged stronger UN-backed enforcement against wildlife trafficking, citing links to organised crime and corruption, including joint operations in Congo basins. Digital Identity Security: Estonia upgraded secure eID cards with Thales, adding stronger anti-fraud protections and remote updates. Local Lab Capacity: Congo labs in Goma, Bukavu and Lwiro reported stockouts that are delaying Ebola testing. Data Centers Debate: A CounterSpin discussion highlights community concerns over AI data centers’ water, energy, and health impacts.
