Saving Lives and Livelihoods is a partnership with the Africa CDC that will enable the purchase of COVID-19 vaccines for at least 65 million people and support the delivery to millions more across the continent. It will also lay the groundwork for vaccine manufacturing in Africa through a focus on human capital development, and strengthen the Africa CDC.
The partnership builds on the ongoing efforts of AVAT, COVAX, WHO, and governments to provide access to vaccines to Africa and support the African Union’s goal of vaccinating 70 percent of Africa’s population by the end of 2022.
