AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Ebola Crisis: DR Congo’s Ebola toll climbed to 689 cases and 139 deaths, with WHO warning the outbreak is expanding into new areas and facing gaps in treatment capacity, infection control supplies and alert reporting—while UNHCR confirmed the first Ebola-related deaths in a displacement camp in eastern Congo. Uganda Response: Uganda is set to deploy medics to help fight Ebola in DRC, as the US pledged over $200m for response efforts across borders, including airport and border screening support. Digital Governance: Uganda launched UGGov Agent, an AI platform letting citizens access services, track public projects and engage institutions in 16 local languages via WhatsApp and SMS. Education Tech Gap: UNICEF found only 20% of Uganda’s secondary schools are ICT-ready, with 39% fully unplugged and 41% semi-connected. Local Economy & Agriculture: Pearl Bank says it is financing the full agricultural value chain to support government’s ATMS agenda, while economists dissected Uganda’s 84.4trn budget for opportunities and debt/tax concerns. Sports & Business: MTN returned to UPGA with the MTN Pro Tees Series, and MMFL shareholders approved the first dividend under its merged structure.
