The new UK-South Africa agreement will also prioritise building vaccine manufacturing in Africa, to ensure vaccines can be developed and reach people in Africa quickly
AGREEMENT: Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex and President of South Africa Cyril Ramaphosa speak during a visit to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew on November 23, 2022 in London, England. This is the first state visit hosted by the UK with King Charles III as monarch, and the first state visit here by a South African leader since 2010.
Under the new agreement, a total of nine collaborative research projects by British and South African researchers are set to launch. “The UK and South Africa have shown global leadership in joining together to protect people by preventing the spread of dangerous diseases, and by working to halt climate change – including through the ground-breaking Just Energy Transition Partnership, to help countries move away from using fossil fuels.”The projects form part of a new move to enhance the UK-South Africa health partnership.
With the manufacturing of vaccines in Africa, the UK and South Africa believe this will mean the world will be better prepared for future pandemics.
