Project context & objectives

The year 2020 has experienced one of the worst pandemics of all the time. Covid-19 viral disease spread across globe where Afghanistan was not an exception.  Afghanistan like other countries tried to provide emergency response to manage COVID-19 affected patients including public awareness raising interventions and other mitigating measures to reduce the burden of disease among Afghan population. There have been rapid advancements in vaccine development, and several COVID-19 vaccines produced towards the end of 2020. There are many other COVID-19 vaccine candidates in the pipeline. With the development of vaccine, global donors and partners have set up a mechanism called COVAX facility to secure the vaccine for countries who may not be able to afford the cost. Afghanistan happens to be one of the countries eligible to receive such support. The COVAX facility (mainly led and managed by Gavi) supported by many developed nations/states, developing donors and UN agencies like WHO, UNICEF will provide vaccine to eligible countries based on the available financial resources — at this stage seems cover up to 20% during 2021. This is in addition to developing donors like World Bank and ADB who may provide assistance to cover the financial gaps including and beyond 20% of population in Afghanistan.
