Africa-Press<\/a> – Sierra-Leone<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>In a statement released today, the Mo Ibrahim Foundation has called for a series of urgent actions aimed at upscaling vaccine access in Africa.<\/p>\n

Africa is one of the world\u2019s most vulnerable regions. The continent is home to 17% of the world\u2019s population and yet accounts for just 0.5% of global vaccine distribution, according to the latest data. Ensuring equitable and balanced access to vaccines is a matter of global security and shared interest. If the virus is not defeated everywhere, it will continue to spread and mutate, says Mo Ibrahim Foundation.<\/p>\n

The statement, signed by the Foundation\u2019s Board Members, Ibrahim Prize Committee and Prize Laureates, calls for immediate and united efforts to advance vaccine equity. This includes unlocking additional resources to fill Africa\u2019s vaccine gap and build the continent\u2019s vaccine manufacturing capacity in the longer term.<\/p>\n

The Mo Ibrahim Foundation is calling for wealthier countries to share 5% of their vaccine supplies with less advanced countries, and for the International Monetary Fund\u2019s Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) to be efficiently channelled to benefit the countries and sectors that need them most critically.<\/p>\n

These priority areas, as well as new research from the Foundation on \u2018Africa and COVID-19: one year on\u2019, will be at the centre of discussions at the Ibrahim Forum during the upcoming Ibrahim Governance Weekend, taking place for the first time in a virtual format on 3-5 June 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cCOVID-19 is an enemy that knows no borders. There will be no final victory until every person in every country is protected. With a population of over 1.3 billion, Africa is one of the most unprotected and vulnerable regions. It would be a fatal mistake to consider that the pandemic there is less severe, and thus \u201cAfrica can wait\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe latest data indicates that 4.28 million cases have been recorded on the continent, representing a 9% rise in just one month, though even this could be a significant underestimate of the true number. At 2.7%, the case fatality rate in Africa is now higher than the global rate of 2.2%. At a global level, huge advances in the battle against COVID-19 have been made.<\/p>\n

\u201cProducing highly effective vaccines in less than a year and setting up collective distribution systems, such as COVAX, are heroic achievements that must be saluted. But we are still running far behind what is needed to ensure safety in Africa. Across the continent, vaccine accessibility is not only far below the efficacy threshold of 60% of the population but significantly lower than the 20% promised by COVAX.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs of 15 March, only 23.6 million vaccine doses had been distributed in Africa, sufficient for around 1.7% of the continent\u2019s population. This is barely 0.5% of current global vaccine distribution, while the continent represents more than 17% of the global population. COVAX itself has provided 16 million doses to 28 African countries, leaving 16 countries to resort to donations and bilateral agreements. 10 countries remain totally outside any supply system.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf vaccine supply to Africa is not immediately upscaled, the continent\u2019s frontline health workers are likely to be overwhelmed. Currently, they are bearing the brunt of the pandemic, accounting for 3.5% of COVID-19 cases in Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this unfolding scenario, alongside the human tragedy, Africa might well become a perfect incubator for variants. We know that if the virus is not efficiently defeated everywhere, it will continue to spread and mutate. Ensuring equitable and balanced access to vaccines is not just a matter of justice, even less of charity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a matter of global security and thus of shared interest. Immediate and united efforts are needed to address this challenge. We must get vaccines to Africa faster, unlock additional financial resources for the countries that need then most, and build public health and vaccine manufacturing capacity in the longer-term. A clear and secure country-by-country COVAX delivery schedule in Africa for the second quarter of the year is vital.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to know in advance where there are gaps, so that they can be addressed as swiftly as possible. An immediate solution to the current vaccine gap would be for wealthier countries to share a part of their vaccine supplies with less advanced countries. Simply giving away surpluses is far from enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome President Macron\u2019s call for Europe and the US to urgently send 5% of their vaccine supplies to developing nations. To date, generous commitments, even regarding potentially wasted surpluses, remain to be implemented. Specific additional financial resources must be secured to allow African governments to fill the vaccine gap through non-COVAX channelled resources and to strengthen their capacities in storage, transport, distribution and administration. Shortfalls in these areas limit access to the COVAX facility and will undermine the success of the vaccination drive.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe International Monetary Fund\u2019s plan to issue $650 billion of additional Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) is key and we salute Kristalina Georgieva\u2019s personal commitment to making this happen. We must now ensure that these additional resources benefit the countries and sectors that need them most critically.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinancial support could also come through additional allocations of Official Development Assistance (ODA) from bilateral donors or from the World Bank via an anticipated International Development Association (IDA) replenishment.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfrican governments themselves must commit to specific efforts to mobilise their own resources, despite these being under increasing strain due to the crisis. For any government, ensuring the health of their own population is crucial. All citizens expect health as a public good to be delivered by their government.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, transparency and strong accountability mechanisms must accompany any additional financial resources. Clearly, the main bottleneck in tackling COVID-19 today is vaccine manufacturing capacity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile up to 14 billion COVID-19 vaccines might be needed globally, the current global manufacturing capacity is only 3 to 5 billion. In response to the current crisis and looking ahead to future pandemics, Africa must strengthen and upscale its own vaccine manufacturing capacities, with support from its partners. Much can be done here, ranging from immediately linking global manufacturers with local companies who have fill-and-finish capacities, to boosting investments, reducing intellectual property barriers, promoting technology transfers, and sharing data and expertise.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe commend Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala\u2019s leadership in convening WTO member countries and vaccine manufacturers to negotiate fairer manufacturing and distribution terms for developing countries. In all of this, a strong partnership with the African private sector, which has already demonstrated its resourcefulness and efficiency in producing tests and PPEs, will be paramount.<\/p>\n

\u201cTackling COVID-19 is not a one-shot, emergency issue. Evolving variations of COVID-19 and the emergence of Disease-X are bound to happen. We are all witness to how the current virus has shifted or even destroyed social and economic balances right around the world. Making sure Africa is able to manage the current crisis while also preparing for the future is an urgent matter of global security.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese priority areas, as well new research from the Foundation on \u2018Africa and COVID-19: one year on\u2019, will be at the centre of discussions at the Ibrahim Forum during the upcoming Ibrahim Governance Weekend, taking place for the first time in a virtual format on 3-5 June 2021.<\/p>\n
