NGO Partnership: Action Against Hunger (AAH)/ Action Contre la Faim (ACF) - Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) Outbreak #11 in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) (360G-cabinetoffice-G2-GA-202112742703-21-22)

The latest Ebola outbreak in DRC is the second largest recorded outbreak, and has been running since May 2018. The UK response to Ebola Virus Disease Outbreaks programme has four primary aims- a) to curb the Ebola Virus Disease Outbreaks in DRC as quickly as possible; b) to minimise loss of life and impact on communities; c) to ensure no onward transmission outside of DRC; and d) to be prepared to act rapidly should a cross-border transmission occur. Countries directly supported by this Response programme includes DRC, Burundi, Rwanda. Some funds were also transferred from this programme to South Sudan and Uganda country programmes for direct implementation of Ebola preparedness activities for outbreak#10, and to Central Africa Republic (through Africa Regional Department) for preparedness activities relating to outbreak #11.
