Multinational - Strengthening Institutional Capacity of AUDA-NEPAD of 15 Countries

This proposed Technical Assistance (TA) to AUDA-NEPAD is to build capacities in the pharmaceutical and manufacturing sectors and improve access to essential health services. The TA will support AUDA-NEPAD's ongoing efforts to upscale African home-grown solutions aimed at improving healthcare capacity and reducing the reliance on external medical supplies. Further, the TA aligns well with the continental initiative of Boosting Intra Africa Trade (BIAT). AUDA-NEPAD programme is focused on three priority areas: Food Systems; Health Systems; and Economic Growth and Jobs. In alignment to AUDA-NEPAD Priority Areas the proposed Technical Assistance (TA) to AUDA - NEPAD is directly aligned to Health Systems. The project main components are: (1) strengthen the Institutional Capacity of AUDA NEPAD to develop a long-term strategy and sustainable programme, (2) engage TA services for the design and deployment of Post Acceleration support to AUDA NEPAD and to selected SMEs to address emerging challenges such as access to affordable finance while fostering private sector participation, and (3) project management including financial management, audit, monitoring and evaluation and reporting.
