Countering Ebola in the Central African Republic

By Eve MALONGA | LNC

(Bangui, August 28, 2026 | LAMINE MEDIA) In response to the surging Ebola virus disease epidemic in the neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) has allocated $3 million to support prevention efforts in the Central African Republic (CAR). Although no cases have been detected within CAR territory, these funds are being used to strengthen epidemiological surveillance at the borders, improve access to water, and enhance isolation capabilities.

The Central African government has officially signed a strategic military cooperation agreement focused on intelligence-sharing with the DRC. This agreement aims to streamline the real-time exchange of information between the two nations in order to better monitor and secure their long shared border, which is frequently targeted by armed group movements and suspicious cross-border activity.
