- Abstract
- This article, published on June 10, 2022, explains how the $1.5 billion Saving Lives and Livelihoods initiative (Mastercard Foundation/Africa CDC) funds vaccine acquisition and delivery, aiming for Africa to reach 70% vaccination. This African-led partnership uses trusted local leaders (e.g., religious, youth) and digital campaigns ("It’s Up To Us") to build trust. Crucially, it strengthens the Africa CDC and invests in "made in Africa" vaccine capacity.
