AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Ebola Funding Crunch: Africa CDC says the Congo Ebola response now needs $1.4 billion—triple an earlier estimate—with only 13% of pledges released, as humanitarian access and contact-tracing in Ituri remain major hurdles. UN Accountability Push: The UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution aimed at improving justice for crimes against peacekeepers, authorising steps to collect facts and support investigations and prosecutions. Congo Basin Science: A new Congo Basin Assessment Report was presented in Brazzaville by an independent scientific panel, positioning the Basin’s resilience and carbon role as central to policy decisions. Energy & Gas Waste: The World Bank reports global gas flaring hit a six-year high, with Africa’s producers—including the Republic of Congo—still burning valuable associated gas instead of using it for power and industry. Congo in the Spotlight (Sports & Memory): At the 2026 World Cup, Congo fans keep Patrice Lumumba’s legacy alive through a “living statue” presence—an echo of the independence leader’s enduring political symbolism. Regional Finance: GCB Bank was named West Africa’s Regional Bank of the Year at awards held in Brazzaville, highlighting regional banking and inclusion priorities.
