AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 minutes ago

Ebola Response: DR Congo’s Ebola outbreak keeps accelerating, with WHO reporting 896 confirmed cases and 232 deaths across 31 health zones (as of 17 June), while UNHCR warns the risk is now regional given trade and refugee movements across eastern DRC borders; G7 leaders also urged a “firm and coordinated” response and faster access to vaccines, diagnostics and treatments. Mining Local Content: Congo miners are asking for a delay on a directive requiring a 5% equity stake for Congolese workers before a July 31 deadline, citing unresolved questions on how the rule applies to existing shareholders and long-running operations. Digital Economy: Kinshasa launched RDC-Pass, a national digital identity platform under a 20-year public-private partnership with Trident, aimed at e-government services, financial inclusion and fraud reduction, with exclusive e-KYC rights for the operator. Geodata for Minerals: DR Congo is pushing to digitize and reclaim colonial-era geological records held in Belgium, seeking a roadmap and task force to speed up discovery of new copper, cobalt and lithium deposits. Security & Politics: Opposition-led protests in Kinshasa over constitutional reform turned violent as security forces cracked down, raising stakes for the referendum battle and the government’s push to extend power.
