Comments
Scope of projects to be supported:
This call for proposals aims to support innovative projects that increase the production and availability
in the SADC region of high-quality products related to the COVID-19 vaccines’ administration and
COVID-19 patients’ clinical management. This includes but is not limited to:
a) items relevant for COVID-19 vaccine administration (e.g. syringes, needles, plasters, gloves);
b) items relevant for COVID-19 vaccination management (including cold chain equipment, dry
ice, vaccine carriers, deep freezers, vaccination monitoring tools);
c) items relevant for COVID-19 patients’ clinical management (including anti-virals such as
Molnupiravir, Paxlovid (Nirmatrelvir and Ritonavir), Dexamethasone, COVID-19 tests,
oxygen concentrators, oxygen flasks, nasal cannula;
d) items/machinery relevant for COVID-19 vaccine production (including production machinery,
adjuvants, stabilisers, excipients, preservatives, vials, stoppers, packaging).
The proposed project is expected to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),
particularly SDG 3 – “Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all ages” and the SADC
Industrialization Strategy and Roadmap 2015-2063 goals.
