达喀尔，10月16日 - 非洲最高公共卫生机构和刚果卫生当局本周呼吁提高埃博拉应对资金使用的透明度，称援助组织提供的财务信息导致超过7亿美元的捐款资金尚未核算。
DAKAR, Oct 16 - Africa's top public health body and Congolese health authorities this week called for greater transparency in the use of Ebola response funds, saying financial information provided by aid organisations left more than $700 million of donor money yet to be accounted for.
- 这些担忧可能使应对工作复杂化，因为对卫生工作者和机构的不信任仍是遏制疫情爆发的关键障碍。刚果之前的埃博拉应对工作曾出现偏袒和腐败的指控。
• The concerns could complicate the response as mistrust of health workers and agencies remains a key obstacle to containing the outbreak. Previous Ebola responses in Congo were marked by allegations of favouritism and corruption
- 非洲疾控中心总干事让·卡塞亚博士周四对路透社表示，目前尚早谈论挪用公款，但他将这一差距描述为一个主要的透明度和财务报告问题，这阻碍了当局掌握已动员和使用的资源的全貌。
• Dr. Jean Kaseya, director general of the Africa CDC, told Reuters on Thursday it was too early to speak of embezzlement, but described the gap as a major transparency and financial reporting problem that prevented authorities from having a full picture of resources mobilised and spent
- 国际捐款已向在刚果实施埃博拉应对活动的组织拨付约9.62亿美元，而不是直接给政府，卡塞亚说。
• International donors have disbursed about $962 million to organisations implementing Ebola response activities in Congo, rather than to the government, Kaseya said
- 只有大约三分之一的实施伙伴参加了刚果卫生部最近组织的会议并共享了财务信息，他说，并补充称这些组织报告称收到了2.28亿美元，其中1.27亿美元已被使用，大约1亿美元仍可用。
• Only about a third of implementing partners attended a recent meeting organised by Congo's health ministry and shared financial information, he said, adding that those organisations reported receiving $228 million, of which $127 million had been spent and roughly $100 million remained available
- 刚果卫生部长萨缪尔-罗杰·坎巴在周四晚上的X平台帖子中回应了卡塞亚的担忧，称援助组织必须向其部门提供资金来源、目标和实施程度的详细信息。
• Congo's health minister Samuel-Roger Kamba echoed Kaseya's concerns in a post on X on Thursday night, saying aid groups are required to provide details on funding sources, goals and the level of implementation to his ministry
- 卡塞亚警告称，不合规的组织可能被禁止在刚果开展工作，并在全非洲范围内被列入黑名单。
• Kaseya warned that non-compliant organisations could be barred from working in Congo and blacklisted across Africa REUTERS
