GUINEA SITUATION FACTSHEET N°6 30 March EBOLA EPIDEMIOLOGICAL GUINEA SITUATION FACTSHEET N°6 30 March. - 05 April UNMEER KEYS FACTS The outbreak has been concentrated in the Lower Guinea Region for the last month. Boké and Télémélé prefectures are on alert, and Fria prefecture has become active since 29 March. fFour cases in Kindia have been reported during the week from 30 March to 5 April.. UNMEER organised a forum gathering representatives of all stakeholders of Guinean society (“Forum des Forces Vives de la Guinée”), which took place in Conakry on 12 March. On 31 March, a forum focussing on the Lower Guinea Region (“La Basse Guinée dit Ebola ça suffit”) was been initiated in Kindia. Opinion leaders have committed to get more involved in the fight against EBOLA. Guinean authorities have declared a reinforced health emergency in selected? several? villages and towns. The health emergency includes the temporary closure of private health facilities and systematic testing of corpses. An awareness and early detection campaign of suspect cases is planned for 10 to 13 April in the prefectures of Forecariah, Coyah, Dubreka, Conakry, Kindia and Boffa. This campaign takes place in the frame of the health emergency and targets 3 390 000 people. On Monday, 23 March, the Guinean government and WHO launched a vaccine trial against EBOLA in the frame of a campaign aiming to vaccinate 10 000 volunteers.

  • Invest in Guinea Dear Readers, I Have the Great Honour of Presenting This Guide for International Investors
    Invest in Guinea Dear readers, I have the great honour of presenting this guide for international investors. I am convinced that good-quality investors, whether they come from the UK or elsewhere, can play a key role in the future development and prosperity of Guinea and its people. This guide is part of ongoing efforts made by the British Embassy in Guinea to support the Government of Guinea in its objective of attracting quality international investment into the country. Written in close collaboration with the Government of Guinea and stakeholders from the various sectors covered, this guide aims not only to demonstrate the incredible economic opportunities present in Guinea but also to share the country’s commitment to building a stable and prosperous future. While Guinea is considered one of the most important growth areas on the continent due to its geographical diversity and mineral endowment, improvements still need to be made to the investment climate. Several measures have been adopted by President Alpha Condé and his Government to create an attractive environment for investors looking to manage their businesses in a climate of trust and stability. The British Government is encouraging continued efforts in this vein in order to improve Guinea’s business environment. I would like to thank, in particular, all the members of the editorial committee for their valuable contributions and constant availability.
