NOTE OF THANKS & PLA2021 SUMMARY

PHARMA LOGISTICS AFRICA • VIRTUAL EVENT

Welcome to the Pharma Logistics Africa (PLA2021) Post-Event Report where on behalf of GRV Global, I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those who participated in this important forum; a series promoting discussion and solutions to strengthening capacity to address the opportunities and challenges in pharmaceutical, logistics, and health through public-private partnerships (PPPs). This report contains a summary of the various panel discussions, virtual displays, networking and 1-2-1 matchmaking meetings via GRV Global’s virtual platform “PNYX”.

GRV Global would like to pass on our sincere gratitude to all participating distinguished guests, honourable ministers, and participants from leading international and regional organisations, nongovernmental organizations, and health experts who participated in the discussions across the few days and were committed to meeting with attending delegates throughout the morning and afternoon 1-21 matchmaking meeting sessions. Despite having to hold the PLA conference online for the second year again, it proved to be a great success, bringing likeminded officials and private-sector delegates together from across the globe; video testimonials of which can be found later in this report. We welcomed almost 200 African and international participants for high-level plenary sessions, keynote speeches, private 1-2-1 matchmaking meetings and a range of networking functions, all convening to further African pharmaceutical capacity and strengthen the continent’s economic autonomy and long-term sustainable development under the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond. PLA featured two days of keynote addresses, spotlight presentations, and 7 high-level discussion panels led by field experts and leading stakeholders, as well as 1-2-1 personable matchmaking meetings between public and private sector delegates, providing an opportunity to address the opportunities and challenges that Africa faces in the pharmaceutical, logistics, and health sector by maximising

the use of existing strategies, training capacities, and skills, localised digital innovation and technology solutions, ensuring a harmonized regulatory system, strengthening public health systems, and creating equitable access to healthcare services to address health inequities and disparities. PLA2021 commenced with two opening addresses. The first Opening Remarks was given by Dr. Kasonde Mwinga, Director - Universal Health Coverage/ Life Course Cluster, of World Health Organisation followed by an Opening Keynote Address by. Dr. Emile Bienvenu, Director General of Rwanda Food and Drugs Authority. They both highlighted topics such as the inadequate availability of medecines in Aifrca, the negative impact of COVID-19 on the supply chain of essential medicines and other health products and new developments on local manufacturing as well as providing a way forward to create a robust health system in Africa which transitioned perfectly to the discussion panels ahead. Look at discussion panels, of which there were seven across the two days, each featuring live Q&A, Panel 1, chaired by Joseph Mutasaaga, Manager Business Planning and Development from the National Drug Authority – Uganda addressed Africa’s Pharmaceutical Sector: challenges & opportunities.

DR OLUKAYODE FASOMINU, SENIOR MANAGER @ UNICEF

I appreciated the holding of this panel which is really important in the sense that covid-19 has really damaged drug supply systems. The themes were topical; I would like as a recommendation that the next session be face-to-face if the barriers linked to covid allow it; congratulations on the initiative and for all you do. Really appreciate. @GRVGLOBAL #PLA2021

Great event that seemed to bridge the gap between development organisations and key industry players, country teams/ individuals and development organisations. Reﬂected how much relevant work is still required in Immunisation supply chain and areas of synergistic opportunities that could be leveraged by all parties.

On any given day, WFP has 5,600 trucks, 30 ships and nearly 100 planes on the move, delivering food and other assistance to those in most need.
