By 14 January 2015, Guinea remained one of three countries suffering intense and widespread transmission of Ebola virus disease (EVD). To date, the country had endured 2,806 cumulative cases (confirmed, probable and suspected), resulting in 1,814 deaths. An estimated 4.1 million children are living in areas affected by the virus, while 564 children and youth aged up to 20 years have themselves become infected. Despite these obstacles, in the week leading up to 14 January, the country reported its lowest weekly total of new confirmed Ebola virus disease (EVD) cases since the week ending 17 August 2014. UNICEF, together with partners, continues to provide vital support across multiple sectors, including communication for development (C4D), including efforts to raise awareness of the disease and effect behavioural changes that help halt its spread; health and nutrition; water, sanitation and hygiene; child protection; and education.
