U.N. Warns Ebola Could Cost Africa $3.6B and Jobs
The United Nations Development Programme warned that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo could cost the African continent around $3.6 billion, threaten tens of thousands of jobs, and lead to widespread social and economic crises. It noted that the epidemic could result in the loss of more than 55,000 jobs and undermine health and education services, with potential impacts on neighboring countries such as Uganda, Rwanda, and South Sudan. The report also emphasized that the economic repercussions will remain severe even if the virus is contained, with gross domestic product expected to decline during the current year.
