Last update: 7 hours agoEbola Response Update: Congo’s eastern Ebola outbreak is still surging, with authorities reporting about 6,000+ confirmed cases and 3,000+ deaths, and the Africa CDC warning it may not have peaked yet as insecurity, displacement, and population movement keep fueling spread. Village-Led Public Health: To close gaps in community-based surveillance and reporting, Congo is shifting toward a village-centered approach that works with local leaders to build trust and improve cooperation, after many deaths occurred outside treatment centers.

Wildlife Crime Tech: Vietnam intercepted 1.2 tons of elephant ivory and big-cat bones hidden inside Congo timber shipments using scanning to uncover concealed compartments—another reminder that enforcement tech matters. AI & Energy Infrastructure: SLB’s planned $4.1B Kelvion acquisition targets cooling tech for data centers and industrial systems, as AI power demand keeps rising. Data Sovereignty & Credit: A Congolese fellow argues that stronger local economic data systems shape how countries are rated and priced for borrowing, pushing for more control over how African economies are represented.
