AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Ebola & Travel Curbs: Uganda is pushing back hard on “unfair” Ebola travel restrictions, saying blanket bans and quarantines hurt tourism and trade despite Uganda reporting only 2 deaths among 19 confirmed cases linked to the DRC outbreak. Global Health Response: The WHO warns the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak is rapidly expanding across DRC and Uganda, with cases now reported in 29 health zones and response systems under pressure. Vaccine Push: India’s Serum Institute is fast-tracking a Bundibugyo-targeted Ebola vaccine (ChAdOx1 BDBV) with Oxford and CEPI support, aiming to close the gap where no licensed vaccine exists for this strain. Tourism Fallout: Uganda’s hospitality sector says travel advisories and flight suspensions are driving cancellations and losses, with some airlines rerouting or pausing services amid quarantine rules. Diaspora Tourism Boost: Uganda plans to use the 2026 Africa Nations Cup in the UK to market gorillas, Jinja and Murchison Falls to the African diaspora. Transport Costs: Fuel price hikes are squeezing commuters as taxi and bus fares rise across Kampala and key routes.
