CTG, a leading provider of humanitarian and development staffing solutions, has announced the establishment of its Ebola Response Roster for 2027. The initiative aims to strengthen preparedness and rapid response capacity for potential Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and other affected or at-risk countries.

The roster seeks to identify highly qualified professionals with experience in public health emergencies, outbreak response, humanitarian operations, and related technical fields. Successful candidates will become part of a talent pool that may be mobilized when client requirements emerge.

Supporting Rapid Emergency Response

The Ebola Response Roster has been designed to ensure that experienced professionals can be deployed quickly in response to future Ebola outbreaks and other infectious disease emergencies.

According to CTG, inclusion in the roster does not guarantee immediate employment. Instead, it creates a ready database of experts who can be contacted when specific operational needs arise.

The initiative supports preparedness efforts across complex humanitarian settings, particularly in fragile, conflict-affected, and resource-constrained environments where rapid response is critical.
