Strengthening Regulatory Ecosystem and Manufacturing for Vaccines, Therapeutics, and Diagnostics in Asia and the Pacific (REVITALIZE)

active

The technical assistance (TA) will support Asian Development Bank (ADB) developing member countries (DMCs) through capacity building to strengthen their regulatory ecosystems for vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics (VTD). The strengthened regulatory capacities will help DMCs prepare, prevent, and respond to future disease outbreaks and pandemics. The TA will initially support Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Pakistan. Additional DMCs will be considered based on their regulatory needs, government commitment, regional relevance, and potential for scalable impact. The TA will support the implementation of ADB's Strategy 2030, particularly operational priority (OP) 1 (addressing remaining poverty and reducing inequalities), OP3 (tackling climate change, building climate and disaster resilience, and enhancing environmental sustainability), and its focus area of enhancing human capital and social protection for all.
