Through the Pandemic and Beyond -  Respond To Covid-19 In Africa

This report details how African Union and Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) has collaborated with the UNDP to help curb the spread of COVID-19, support African home- grown solutions and make way for socioeconomic recovery that
can lead to a path towards attaining Agenda 2063 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This work has been done in close concert with African people through civil-society organizations, youth champions and volunteer groups, as well as with governments,
NGOs, UN agencies, businesses and funding partners. At the start of 2020, Africa was riding nearly a decade of progress on prosperity, governance and peace. But when the first case of COVID-19 in Africa was reported on 14 February 2020 in Egypt, the predictions
for the continent were dire. Thanks in part to a joint continental strategy by African Union member states, the exemplary societal resilience featured across sectors, and Africans’ determination to fight the disease — to date1, the continent has cautiously
defied expectations and largely withstood the devastating health effects of the pandemic, as compared to other regions of the world. However, the socioeconomic crisis continues to hit Africa hard. 1 This report covers the period from January 2020 to March
2021. 5 THROUGH THE PANDEMIC AND BEYOND
