Abstract

The initial COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent variant emergence has proven that the world’s ability to detect and respond to outbreaks is only as strong as its weakest link, and any gap in a country or the larger international system is a risk to people everywhere. Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have seen this narrative play out – from the “lost month” of February 2020 where multiple countries were slow to report information and respond, to today’s vaccine nationalism, which has left over 80% of the population across Africa unprotected against the virus.
