The Africa CDC and WHO have launched a joint continental response plan to strengthen Africa's preparedness and response to the ongoing Ebola outbreak caused by the Bundibugyo virus.
The six-month initiative (June–November 2026) seeks to mobilize US$518 million to support surveillance, laboratory testing, treatment, infection prevention, community engagement, and emergency response efforts across the continent.
The plan complements ongoing national efforts in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, reinforcing a united "One Response" approach to protect lives and prevent further spread.
