The COVID-19 pandemic further reinforced existing inequities and prompted re-emergence of debates on scaling-up research and development (R&D) capacity for vaccines in Africa. In contribution to efforts that address inequitable access to vaccines in Africa, AfHEA, Africa CDC and UNECA will organize a side event at the margins of CPHIA to disseminate findings of research on policies and frameworks to boost R&D for vaccines. The event will also feature a high-level panel discussion on: policies and frameworks for enhancing R&D in vaccine production in Africa, and mechanisms for equitable vaccines distribution and strategies for achieving the 60% manufacturing target.

Organized by African Health Economics and Policy Association (AfHEA)
