CA-3-P008241001 2026-06-12T06:33:05 October 2019 – The Democratic Republic of the Congo has been battling its 10th Ebola outbreak since August 1, 2018. It is second only to the 2014 West Africa outbreak in magnitude. As of September 11, 2019, there have been 3,099 cases of Ebola in the DRC with 2,074 deaths. In addition, four deaths were reported in Uganda between June and August 2019. On July 17, 2019, the WHO declared this outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern”, a designation that indicates that a crisis has the potential for global reach. With GAC’s support, this project aims to provide funding to the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) to bring together humanitarian actors and Congolese authorities in order to ensure a coherent response to the ongoing crisis. Project activities include: (1) advocating for multi-sectorial coordination for humanitarian response; (2) supporting operation readiness and preparedness in neighbouring countries; and (3) strengthening the emergency telecommunications system.
