It’s unlikely that vaccine manufacturing will offer Africa a quick fix for Covid-19. Countries on the continent are grappling with a diverse array of challenges. These include vaccine hesitancy, supply bottlenecks and a lack of operational funding and human resources to administer jabs. Still, the political will to boost local manufacturing of vaccines is rising across the globe, including in Africa – and has never been this high. The reason is simple.

To do so, the continent must seize new opportunities to fast-track the development of vaccine manufacturing capacity and to boost regulatory processes.
