Key takeaway The move comes after 10 cases of Bundibugyo virus were reported.
A national initiative called "Fleuve Sans Ebola" has been launched to protect a vital waterway from the risk of virus propagation. The move comes after 10 cases of Bundibugyo virus were reported. This initiative is a multisectoral effort to secure the main river route, which supports a large part of the country's trade and connects millions of people.
The initiative is being implemented with the support of a inter-agency mechanism for Ebola preparedness and response, which includes several UN agencies. It has received $9 million in funding from the United Nations. Further details about the initiative and its goals are available.
