AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

HIV Funding Shock: UNAIDS warns that sudden funding cuts are collapsing HIV prevention and treatment in multiple countries, with PrEP uptake falling sharply in Uganda (down 31% from Dec 2024–Sep 2025) and Burundi (down 64%), and condom distribution dropping in Nigeria—leaving millions still waiting to start treatment. Lake Victoria Oxygen Crisis: New findings say nearly 40% of the lakebed lacks enough oxygen, threatening fish breeding and livelihoods across Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi as catches decline. Burundi Health & Safety: A reported assault in Bubanza has reignited worries about how complaints are handled after violence, while in Nakivale refugee camp, birth registration for children under five faces resistance due to fears it could lead to citizenship. Community Health Lens: A separate global focus highlights how families shape health long before government services do. Public Health Context: Donor reliance is also under scrutiny after USAID exit exposes fragility in health systems. Celebrity Incident: Burundian-Kenyan singer Kidum was involved in a road accident and was taken to Karen Hospital.
