AGP Executive Report
Last update: a minute agoEbola Travel Shock for Uganda: Uganda’s tourism and travel plans are being squeezed by the fast-moving Ebola crisis in neighbouring DR Congo, with Uganda closing its border with Congo and tightening mass-gathering rules as the CDC raised Uganda’s Ebola notice to Level 2 (enhanced precautions). WHO Mission in Ituri: WHO chief Tedros Ghebreyesus has arrived in DR Congo and is heading to Ituri, urging a ceasefire and faster community action as the outbreak—driven by the Bundibugyo strain—keeps outpacing response efforts. Aid Reaches the Epicentre: EU-donated medical supplies have reached Bunia in Ituri, but health workers still face shortages, mistrust, and attacks on facilities. World Cup Fallout: DR Congo has asked FIFA for refunds for fans blocked by Ebola-related travel restrictions, while the US, Canada and Mexico align World Cup travel measures and expand airport screening—raising fresh uncertainty for regional visitors and cross-border travellers. Uganda Aviation Upgrade: Uganda’s aviation sector is set for major expansion, including a new Entebbe international passenger terminal and aerodrome upgrades, aimed at boosting tourism and connectivity even as health alerts disrupt travel.
