CA-3-P009758002 2026-06-12T06:33:05 This project aims to advance equitable and affordable access to the most promising COVID-19 treatments in lower-income countries and lower-middle-income countries (LMICs). The project supports Unitaid in securing manufacturing capacity and supply for relevant treatments, including monoclonal antibodies, novel antivirals, and medical oxygen. This project contributes to the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) -– Accelerator Therapeutics Partnership objectives. Project activities include: (1) increasing access to medical oxygen; (2) improving supply security across sub-Saharan Africa through market interventions; and (3) piloting the introduction, feasibility and acceptability of innovations in at least 5 countries. This project represents additional funds provided to a pre-existing project in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The description and expected results are the same.
