Foreword
It is my pleasure to present the Africa Centres for Diseases Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) Annual Report for 2022. As we reflect on the year gone by, I am pleased by the quality and reach of our work at Africa CDC, and encouraged by the progress that Africa is making in safeguarding its health.
In 2022, we continued to strive for excellence in our efforts to achieve our goals and objectives in delivering exceptional returns for the African Union (AU) Member States. The Africa CDC staff and partners have worked tirelessly to ensure we remain focused on delivering outstanding results in a challenging and changing environment.
Our commitment to continued improvement and innovation is reflected in our successes, from introducing new programs, expanding our partnerships, and strengthening our Regional Coordinating Centres (RCCs). We are proud to have been consistent in growth while maintaining the highest standards of quality and professionalism.
This annual report presents key highlights of our results and are a testament to our staff’s hard work and dedication to safeguarding Africa’s health. We are indebted to the continued support of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, the Africa CDC Governing Board, and the Technical and Advisory Council of Africa CDC.
Overall, it has been another successful year for the Africa CDC, for Africa and health security in general. I am grateful for your ongoing support and
look forward to continuing to work with you in the years ahead.
Thank you.
January 2023.
Dr Ahmed Ogwell Ouma
Acting Director, Africa CDC
