AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Cross-Border Trade Clarity: The East African Business Council is urging Tanzania and Burundi to publish a clear list of commonly traded goods under the EAC Simplified Trade Regime, saying unclear rules at the Kobero-Kabanga One Stop Border Post are slowing commerce and blocking women and youth traders from benefiting from the Common Market. Ebola Preparedness Boost: The U.S. announced an extra $20 million for Ebola preparedness in Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda and South Sudan, to strengthen emergency operations, surveillance, border screening, infection prevention and medical supplies. Burundi Culture on Stage: Burundi hosted the AFRICA ON MAPPING Festival in Bujumbura, using video mapping, dance and poetry to turn historic buildings into immersive art spaces. Health & Children: UNICEF scaled up Ebola response supplies to the DRC, shipping over 100 metric tons of PPE, medicines and WASH materials to protect frontline workers and communities. Regional Mobility & Safety: With Ebola travel risk screening being tightened across regions, Burundi is listed among high-risk countries for enhanced border checks. Trade & Tourism Links: Singapore will negotiate a free trade agreement with the EAC bloc of eight East African countries, including Burundi, aiming to deepen market access and open new growth areas.
