AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Ebola Response & Regional Risk: DR Congo’s Ebola tally climbed to 710 confirmed cases and 149 deaths, with authorities denying lockdown rumours as surveillance, contact tracing, targeted vaccination and community engagement ramp up amid fears of cross-border spread into Uganda. Digital Economy & Public-Private Deal: Kinshasa launched RDC-Pass, a national digital identity platform under a 20-year PPP with Trident, aimed at easing access to e-government, financial inclusion and other services, with the project valued at $97.1m and backed by initial commercialization funding. Mining Policy & Local Shareholding: Congo miners are asking for a delay on a directive requiring a 5% equity stake for Congolese workers ahead of a July 31 deadline, citing unresolved questions on how the rule applies to existing shareholders and operations. Geodata Sovereignty for Minerals: DR Congo pushed talks with Belgium/EU officials on digitising and reclaiming colonial-era geological records, aiming to speed up discovery of new copper, cobalt and lithium deposits. Business & Trade (Indirect): US turkey exports hit record value in early 2026, with shipments to Congo (Kinshasa) among those rising. Security & Politics: Opposition protests in Kinshasa over constitutional reform turned violent, while the government faces mounting pressure as the referendum battle intensifies.
