The Africa Faith and Justice Network (AFJN) invites you to “The 2026 Ebola Outbreak – Understanding the Crisis” online event on Thursday, June 11, 2026 at 11:00 am ET (Washington, DC). The event is cosponsored by the Advocacy Network for Africa (AdNA) and is free and open to the public. Registration requested.
The Democratic Republic of Congo is again confronting an Ebola outbreak that has already extended beyond its borders, endangering lives, straining health systems, and deepening vulnerability in already fragile communities. Join us for a special briefing featuring two experts with firsthand experience in Ebola response, infectious disease research, and public health across Africa. Our experts will provide latest updates on the epidemic, discuss ongoing public health efforts and key challenges, and explore how individuals and organizations can respond with informed action, compassion, and purpose.
This event is organized by Africa Faith and Justice Network (AFJN), and co-sponsored by Advocacy Network for Africa (AdNA).
