China and Ethiopia have signed an agreement for 2.2 million doses of COVID 19 vaccine support to Ethiopia.
The Health Minister, Dr. Lia Tadesse and Ambassador of China to Ethiopia, Zhao Zhiyuan have signed the agreement.
The donation is part of China’s pledge to support endeavors of the African nations in preventing the Coronavirus pandemic, it is stated on the signing ceremony.
China has so far extended 7.5 million doses of Covid 19 vaccine support to Ethiopia in four rounds, the Minister noted, expressing gratitude to the Chinese government for the continued assistance to the nation in the fight against the pandemic.
Ambassador Zhao Zhiyuan also pledged China’s continued support to Ethiopia in preventing the Coronavirus pandemic in a sustainable manner.
President Sahle-Work Zewde underscored that the forthcoming National Dialogue is significant to reach consensus on key national issues.
“I have signed the proclamation establishing the Ethiopian National Dialogue Commission pursuant to the constitution of the country. I believe in the significance of a genuine and inclusive dialogue. I have worked on such issue and witnessed its outcomes,” the President underlined.
“National Dialogue avoids imposition of thoughts, combative attitudes and security threats to the people and the nation at large. It cultivates culture of dialogue, listening, and mutual respect. National Dialogue is very essential to countries undergoing post-conflict circumstances like Ethiopia,” the President paraphrased.
“Women have to be nominated as candidates for commissioners of the National Dialogue Commission. The conflict particularly affected women. My contact to women sheltered in camps in Mekelle and Dessie justifies this fact,” the President stated.
The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the Institut Pasteur de Dakar (IPD) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to formalize the partnership between the two organizations to advance IPD’s MADIBA project, a regional manufacturing hub for COVID-19 and other vaccines in Dakar, Sénégal. In its initial phase, IPD’s new modular facility will manufacture up to 300 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine annually for use in Africa.
With the manufacturing facility in advanced construction, IPD is on track to start vaccine production in the third quarter of 2022. IPD has previously signed an MOU with BioNTech to pursue mRNA vaccine manufacturing and is actively exploring partnerships with other vaccine companies to produce licensed COVID-19 vaccines in its new manufacturing facility. In the future, IPD plans to expand to produce vaccines against other pathogens that are relevant to the region – potentially also new vaccines funded by CEPI.
CEPI will provide strategic and technical support to IPD’s MADIBA project to advance the development and delivery of vaccines manufacturing in Africa. CEPI will also advise on the implementation of an innovative vaccine filling and delivery solution, licensed from MedInstill/INTACT Solutions and developed with CEPI’s funding and support.
