Mistrusting the process: containing Congo’s Ebola outbreak

Mistrusting the process: containing Congo’s Ebola outbreak

Aid is ramping up to the Democratic Republic of Congo, and vaccine work is progressing. But what the Ebola response most lacks is trust of the community. European governments and businesses are wary of their dependence on America’s tech giants; we examine a spate of home-grown efforts. And sticky toffee pudding, a staid British classic, gets a sweet social-media boost.

  • John McDermott, chief Africa correspondent
  • Christian Odendahl, European economics editor
  • Ọrẹ Ogunbiyi, Africa correspondent and sticky toffee pudding enthusiast
  • Jason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence”


Topics covered:

  • Ebola outbreak, Democratic Republic of Congo, epidemiology, vaccines
  • European technology, American tech giants, technological sovereignty
  • sticky toffee pudding
