AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoPublic Health Alert: The CDC issued a Level 2 travel advisory for Costa Rica as chikungunya spreads locally, with the Ministry of Health reporting rising 2026 cases and “local transmission” expanding beyond Guanacaste into parts of the Central Valley—so travelers are urged to use enhanced mosquito precautions. Health Surveillance: Costa Rica also confirmed a third mpox case, in Heredia, epidemiologically linked to the second case; the patient is stable and under isolation orders. Energy Policy: Costa Rica’s Legislative Assembly approved a reform that lets Recope move beyond petroleum for the first time, opening the door to biofuels and green hydrogen (with details now heading to the executive for signature). Local Conservation Tech: A new study using long-term camera-trap monitoring in Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula found arboreal wildlife increasingly using canopy bridges over time, supporting road-crossing designs that reduce collision risk. Digital Skills for SMEs: MICITT launched a free 5G training program for Costa Rican MSMEs, offering a 200-hour digital growth track. Indigenous Media Funding: Applications are open for the Indigenous Community Media Fund (deadline Aug. 9, 2026), including eligible projects from Costa Rica.
