AGP Executive Report

Last update: a minute ago

Ebola Response & Borders: Uganda ordered an immediate closure of its border with the DRC as the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak accelerates, while WHO warns border closures can push people into unmonitored crossings and urges a ceasefire amid conflict that is blocking containment. South Sudan Finance & Liquidity: South Sudan’s civil society chair urged the Economic Cluster to tackle a cash liquidity crunch in commercial banks that is stopping civil servants from withdrawing salaries. Tax & Business: Uganda’s High Court dismissed Nile Breweries’ bid to stop URA from collecting Shs18.5bn in disputed VAT and local excise duties tied to claims of zero-rated export treatment. Public Health Watch in the Region: India quarantined a woman in Bengaluru with suspected Ebola after travel from Uganda; tests returned negative so far, but screening and surveillance were stepped up. Energy Costs: South Sudan’s energy ministry says electricity tariffs are already being reduced under President Kiir’s directives and a new revenue-sharing arrangement. Regional Trade & Connectivity: The EAC began talks in Dar es Salaam on a harmonised mobile roaming framework to cut cross-border communication costs, including South Sudan. Education Support: The LEGO Foundation pledged $97m with the IRC to expand play-based learning for 5 million conflict-affected children, with South Sudan among the focus countries.
