SUMMARY:The Inaugural Regional Reproductive Justice Litigation Baraza
DESCRIPTION:Presentations: \nAfricentric Approaches to Reproductive Justice in the EAC Region \nAfya na Haki (Ahaki) is implementing the Litigating Reproductive Justice in Africa (LIRA) Programme which aims to establish\, strengthen and sustain a regional network of stakeholders invested in progressive. evidence-based and collaborative litigation for access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SHR) in Africa. Ahaki has collaborated with Makerere University Human Rights and Peace Centre to organise an Inaugural Regional Baraza. This Baraza will bring together experts and specialists on all issues related to reproductive justice to develop and execute an SHR litigation agenda grounded in the reproductive justice paradigm. \nFor the past several years\, Africa has witnessed a steady stream of jurisprudence that is expanding the frontiers on legal access to SHR and reproductive justice. Courts operating in varied normative and sociocultural contexts have delivered a medley of positive landmark rulings interpreting and clarifying the application of reproductive rights and freedoms within their jurisdictions. \nHowever\, focus on individual rights might not necessarily lead to broader social and political change required to create a safe and enabling environment for enjoyment of reproductive rights.\nConsequently\, the paradigm of reproductive justice which seeks to understand and account for the realities that structure women and men’s sexual and reproductive lives differently with varying outcomes must be championed. \nOBJECTIVES\n1. Frame an Africentric reproductive justice litigation agenda.\n2. To design a reproductive justice framework that contextually resonates with the legal systems in Atrica.\n3. To support ongoing and new strategic litigation to serve as a catalyst for progressive administrative and institutional action. \nAGENDA \nCONCEPT NOTE \nRegional Reproductive Justice Litigation Alliance Consensus document

SUMMARY:Regional Conference on Vaccine Manufacturing in Africa
DESCRIPTION:Watch the event video: \n \n  \nCLICK TO DOWNLOAD OR PREVIEW: COMMUNIQUE FROM THE REGIONAL CONFERENCE ON VACCINE MANUFACTURING IN AFRICA \n  \nEvent Photos: \n\nDownload Presentations: \n\nHow CSOs can do advocacy to ramp vaccine manufacturing in Africa – \nPharmaceuticals legal and institutional reforms\nVaccine manufacturing Rwanda and Uganda – \nThe state of vaccine manufacturing-Africa CDC\nPharma Manufacturing Assoc.\n\nBackground:  \nFor more than a century\, vaccine Research and Development (R&D) and manufacturing have been concentrated in Europe\, India and the United States. Until recently\, there were only 10 vaccine manufacturers across five African countries –Egypt\, Morocco\, Senegal\, South Africa and Tunisia jointly producing a tiny fraction of the continent’s needs.  Africa’s vaccine manufacturing capacity does not match the severity of its vaccine-preventable disease burden. With the inability to produce its own\, Africa has ended up at the back of the queue for lifesaving vaccines like the coronavirus jabs where less than 12% of the African population is fully vaccinated compared with about 71% of the population in Europe. \nThis underdevelopment may be attributed to various factors including; a) the unfavourable and inadequate policies and regulatory frameworks at national\, regional\, continental and global levels that do not holistically support vaccine manufacturing; b) limited efforts by African states to pool resources especially technical skills and financial resources which persistently weakens the development of health sector innovations\, research\, development and industrialization on the continent; and c) limited financing that further restricts the capacity of the National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) to enact appropriate frameworks to regulate and support vaccine manufacturing. These inevitably stifle African-based initiatives in vaccine manufacturing. \nKey stakeholders\, especially the Civil Society movements in Africa\, and academia play a significant role in advancing manufacturing initiatives on the continent; however\, they significantly lack the capacity to proactively engage policy makers to demand support towards vaccine development initiatives that would foster sustainable vaccine manufacturing in Africa. \nIt is upon this background that Afya na Haki (Ahaki) under the Africentric Advocacy and Research Approaches to Advancing Regional Vaccine Manufacturing and Access in Africa (ARMA-PROGRAMME) will convene a Regional Conference on Vaccine Manufacturing in Africa to draw on Africentric evidence\, experiences and expertise to advance vaccine manufacturing in Africa. \nObjectives \nThe objectives of the regional conference are; \n\nTo discuss the state of vaccine manufacturing in Africa and Africa’s preparedness for the future pandemics\nTo understand the role of civil society and other key players in advancing vaccine manufacturing in Africa.\nTo benchmark on the experiences and best practices from the various research and regional advocacy initiatives that will inform the regional advocacy and policy agenda on vaccine manufacturing in Africa.\n\nExpected outcomes;  \n\nIncreased policy debate on sustainable vaccine manufacturing in Africa for regional and global health security.\nUnified regional and global voices towards addressing the existing gaps in ensuring that Africa is prepared for the future pandemics.\n\nParticipants:  \nThe regional conference will bring together key players from Eastern\, Western and Southern Africa including the African Union\, academic\, civil society\, policy makers from relevant government Ministries\, Departments and Agencies (MDAs)\, pharmaceutical manufacturers associations\, development partners\, media and among others.

SUMMARY:Partners' Training on Reproductive Justice Litigation in Africa
DESCRIPTION:THEME: “Reframing SRHR Litigation from Reproductive Choice to Reproductive Justice” \nBackground\nAfya na Haki (Ahaki) is implementing a programme titled “Litigating Reproductive Justice in Africa (LIRA)” which aims at establishing\, strengthening and sustaining a regional network advancing reproductive justice litigation to ensure access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) in Africa. This programme fronts the shift from reproductive choice to reproductive justice in advancing SRHR in the region through the utilisation of national\, sub-regional and regional litigation among others. The programme interventions are therefore\, purposively designed towards achieving an environment where Africa embraces reproductive justice through progressive\, evidence-based and collaborative litigation for access to SRHR.\nThrough the LIRA programme\, Ahaki enhances the capacities of African organisations/ individuals towards litigating access to SRHR\, utilising various interventions including conducting tailored training. It is against this background that this training will focus on fostering an in-depth understanding of a shift from reproductive choice to reproductive justice. \nObjectives\n1. To foster a deeper understanding of the shift from Reproductive Choice to Reproductive Justice in framing SRHR litigation.\n2. To provide a platform for sharing experiences on SRHR Litigation in Africa \nMethodology\nThe training will be delivered by experts through interactive physical and virtual sessions. \nOutcome\nPartners capacitated on the shift from Reproductive Choice to Reproductive Justice.

SUMMARY:Twitter space: The Africa Health Agenda: Is Africa ready for a future pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Theme: “Is Africa ready for the next pandemic?” \nBackground \nAfrica\, a continent of 54 countries with about 1.2 billion people\, produces only 1% of the vaccines it administers. The remaining 99% are imported. Most come from international procurement mechanisms\, such as one organised through the United Nations children’s charity UNICEF[1]. Until recently\, there were only ten vaccine manufacturers across five African countries –Egypt\, Morocco\, Senegal\, South Africa and Tunisia – jointly producing a tiny fraction of the continent’s needs. Most of these countries have undertaken so-called fill-and-finish packaging and labelling with very limited upstream production of antigen formulations\, principally due to a lack of local scientific capacity\, along with weaknesses in the commodity supply chain. These obstacles need to be removed for the independence and sustainability of production in Africa. Other key barriers include regulatory hindrances\, powerful trade blocs\, scarcity of potential purchasers\, competition with subsidised markets\, political instability\, geographical and logistical challenges\, lack of sustainable financing mechanisms and low economic purchasing power. \nAfrica’s vaccine manufacturing capacity does not match the severity of its vaccine-preventable disease burden. With the inability to produce its own\, Africa has ended up at the back of the queue for lifesaving vaccines like the coronavirus jabs. The figures speak for themselves: Less than 12% of the African population is fully vaccinated compared with about 71% of the population in Europe. The COVID-19 pandemic systematically exposed these weaknesses and flaws in current health systems of different countries on the African continent. It also further exposed the looming inequitable access to health and the strong influence of the Global North on the health systems in Africa. \nAfrica’s position in the current global health environment is critical as is evidenced by the underdeveloped capacity of member states to conduct Afrocentric research\, development and manufacturing of vaccines. Continental oversight bodies lack the necessary resources to institutionalize vaccine development and are heavily reliant on the Global North. \nThe Africa Health Agenda International Conference (AHAIC2023)brings together most prominent African voices that will challenge the status quo and find solutions for building resilient health systems in Africa. In a time where many global health convening systemically discriminate and diminish the contributions of Africans\, AHAIC is committed to be global south inclusive. \nIt is upon this background that Ahaki is convening a virtual side event to bring together prominent practitioners\, advocates\, policy makers\, activists among other stakeholders in the field of vaccine research and development and advocacy to contribute to the on-going conversations on sustainable pharmaceutical manufacturing in Africa for Global health security and Africa’s readiness for the next pandemic. \nObjectives of the side event; \nTo contribute to the ongoing conversations on sustainable pharmaceutical manufacturing in Africa for Global health security. \nTo assess Africa’s readiness for the next pandemic through sharing regional experiences and possible solutions to addressing the existing gaps. \nOutcome \nIncreased policy debate on sustainable pharmaceutical manufacturing in Africa for Global health security. \nUnified regional and global voices towards addressing the existing gaps in ensuring Africa is prepared for the next pandemic. \nDelivery of the side event and target audience \nThe side event will be convened virtually through a Twitter space conversation. This Space will target prominent practitioners\, advocates\, policymakers\, and activists\, among other stakeholders in the field of vaccine research and development and advocacy. \nDate and duration of the side event \nMonday 6th March 2023 (6 – 8p.m EAT).
