The aid agency Oxfam is calling on Australia and the international community to develop a multi-million-dollar post-Ebola recovery plan in west Africa.
It follows Liberia announcing a drop in confirmed cases of the deadly virus to only five currently, a dramatic turnaround in the country where Ebola has taken its deadliest toll.
Oxfam suggests a scheme like the post-Second World War Marshall Plan that helped Europe recover from the war could help the three affected countries.
