AGP Executive Report
Last update: 32 minutes agoEbola Tech in Congo: Eastern Congo is shifting to a village-centered Ebola response as the outbreak spreads faster than health teams can track it, with 6,250 cases and 3,039 deaths reported since mid-May; officials say insecurity, displacement, and weak community surveillance are driving delays, and at least 63% of recent deaths occurred outside treatment centers. Mobile Data for Outbreak Tracking: WHO-backed researchers are using anonymised mobile phone movement data (via Vodacom and Flowminder) to spot where Ebola may spread next, aiming to target limited resources more effectively. Space & Remote Sensing Collaboration: Kazakhstan plans an international Earth observation satellite constellation by 2030, with agreements including the Republic of the Congo, and a possible expansion to 14 spacecraft—plus a KazSat-3R replacement for communications. Wildlife Tech & Enforcement: Vietnam intercepted a shipment from the Republic of the Congo—1,193 kg of elephant ivory and big-cat bones hidden in timber crates—showing how scanning and lab testing are tightening wildlife trafficking controls. Climate Tech for Cities: Freetown is rolling out biodigesters to turn waste into biogas, improve sanitation, cut fuel costs, and power generators for market cold storage.
