This slide deck, presented at the Developing Countries Vaccine Manufacturers Network International Annual General Meeting in October 2024, describes updated results from a study to assess the current and planned state of vaccine manufacturing in Africa and provides insights into what’s needed to develop a robust and sustainable vaccine manufacturing ecosystem.

We surveyed African vaccine manufacturers to better understand their current manufacturing capacity and capabilities, the progress they’ve made since 2023, and their future outlooks. This information can help stakeholders and funders better coordinate and prioritize actions to build a successful African vaccine manufacturing ecosystem.
