***This program is hosted by our partner, Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP), who has extended an invitation to PNY members.
The Ebola outbreak is escalating rapidly at a time when the global humanitarian aid environment is under significant strain. Following major funding cuts and policy shifts in 2025 that weakened health, surveillance and outbreak preparedness measures in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), South Sudan and Uganda, local organizations are now carrying much of the responsibility for frontline response and broader containment.
This crisis briefing for funders will provide a snapshot of the outbreak’s anticipated trajectory and the actions that philanthropic actors can take now to help. Speakers will highlight the local organizations and networks that are responding, which interventions are most urgently needed, and how philanthropy can deploy funding rapidly and strategically, including to social mobilization and behavior change efforts that are consistently underfunded.
Who should attend?
While primarily aimed at funders, it may also be of interest to emergency managers, academics, disaster responders and NGO staff interested in or working on disasters and other crises.
