| dc.description.abstract | As an African institution, the Center is also well-placed to help achieve the African
Union’s Agenda 2063. The Center’s work is well-aligned with national and regional
priority areas including human capital development, employment generation (especially
among youth and females), social protection, gender/women’s development and youth
empowerment, and science, technology and innovation.
Although these global and African regional agendas have made progress, significant
events and movements in the last two years will shape Africa’s destiny in the next five.
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the external environment in which the Center
operates. In addition, other global movements have taken hold and shaped the discourse
about equity in global health. The pandemic and these movements, among other
events, have influenced the funding landscape because of new priorities and funding
approaches in the global health community. | en_US |
