ACP: “Ebola response excludes 72 beneficiaries of missing USD 700 million”

Congolese Health Minister Roger Kamba said that only 25 of the 97 organizations involved in the response to the DRC’s 17th Ebola outbreak have been accredited to operate in the field. The other 72 are barred from operating, and beneficiaries must account for how they used funds and ensure resources received from donors can be traced. Communications Minister Patrick Muyaya said promised or disbursed funds had not been received by the public treasury. The dispute concerns USD 700 million intended for the Ebola response that is currently unaccounted for.
