AVAREF in Action
AVAREF drives change through action. Flagship initiatives like the Clinical Trials (CT) Pilot Project and support to the African Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety (AACVS) put strategy into motion, strengthening regulatory systems, promoting collaboration, and delivering measurable impact across Africa. These efforts not only improve current practices but also pave the way for scalable models aligned with continental frameworks like the African Medicines Agency (AMA).
African Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety (AACVS)
AVAREF provides coordination support and technical contributions to AACVS, which plays a vital role in ensuring post-market surveillance and vaccine safety signal detection across the region. This collaboration enhances safety monitoring systems and strengthens vaccine confidence.
AVAREF Clinical Trials Pilot Project
This initiative involves 16 countries piloting a harmonized clinical trial application process. It enables joint review, promotes information sharing between NRAs and NECs, and strengthens capacity through real-time learning and peer feedback. It also lays the groundwork for scalable models under AMA.
