Contract Description

The Partnership for African Vaccine Manufacturing (PAVM) was established by the African Union in 2021, under the Africa Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) to deliver on the goal of enabling the Africa vaccine manufacturing industry to increase its capacity to meet local demand from its current level of 1% to 60% by 2040. To do this, the PAVM will support partnerships in the creation of an environment fully conducive to the emergence of a thriving private sector manufacturing base. It will also steward a continental strategy that efficiently maintains both scale and cost- competitiveness and avoids vaccine nationalism when future demand surges emerge on the continent.

A continental strategy was developed and published as the PAVM Framework for Action (FFA), laying out the key interventions required across six categories and 8 bold programs. These include regulatory strengthening, market design and demand certainty, access to finance, tech and IP, infrastructure, Research &Development hubs, and talent development. Within each of these enabler categories, several activities have been outlined already by PAVM.

At the 37th African Union Assembly, the mandate of PAVM was expanded to include focus on the manufacturing of other health products, such as pharmaceuticals and diagnostics. To support the expansion of the PAVM mandate strategically, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH with the project “Strengthening Crisis and Pandemic Response in Africa” – commissioned by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and on behalf of Africa CDC, PAVM – is seeking to appoint a senior consultant to support the development of a strategic and implementation plan for Diagnostics manufacturing in Africa.

Summary of tasks to be performed under this contract:

  • Provide strategic advice on increasing/enhancing the role of Africa CDC in the area of diagnostics manufacturing.
  • Develop an overall strategy and implementation plan for diagnostics manufacturing in Africa.
  • Update diagnostics manufacturing and demand landscape/ demand forecast (volume and value demand forecast) for priority medicines.
  • Propose a scope of work for the engagement of Africa CDC with key stakeholders in the novel diagnostics and strategic generic medicines to meet the targets for future pandemics and current diagnostics needs on the continent.
  • Draft an appropriate roadmap for scaling up access to strategic diagnostics and support a robust consultative process and mechanisms to ensure its implementation.
  • Review and articulate the positioning of the Africa CDC in the efficient and resilient management of diagnostics in future pandemics and in respect of current and future disease burden on the African continent.
  • Provide catalytic support to institutions and manufacturing facilities in rolling out the development and/or expansion of the productive capacity required to fulfill the expanded mandate of Africa CDC on key diagnostics categories.
