Key documentation and products developed by partners for supporting Community Engagement for Mpox (Monkeypox) Response
Situation
Currently, recent outbreaks of mpox are of great concern in many African countries. While a global outbreak began in 2022, a severe outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has seen thousands of cases and hundreds of deaths since the beginning of 2024, with cases also confirmed in Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Liberia, Nigeria, and South Africa according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
This multi-country outbreak has been re-graded to an acute Grade 3 emergency by WHO. The Collective Service and its core partners are working together to provide resources, tools, and surge support to affected countries upon request.
