CONTEXT

  • As of 10th April, 2020, Africa has recorded over 12,300 covid-19cases with 632

deaths in 52 countries

  • The COVID-19 pandemic is already having catastrophic impact on African

countries in the areas of health, humanitarian and general economy

  • The continent is estimated to lo

lose ab about 5-10% 10% o

  • f it

its G GDP as commodity prices and revenues from tourism, trade and remittances continues to shrink

  • Given the severity of this pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) has

called on the international community including Development Finance institutions to support Africa in co containing, mitigating and properly responding to to CO COVID-19 19

CONTEXT cont….

  • The WHO and Africa Centre for Disease Control (CDC) are already leading

preparedness and response initiatives on the continent

  • However, th

this pandemic

  • We know that across the globe, there is a hug

huge su supply g y gap of

  • f m

med edical pr produc ducts th that a t are e critical to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak

  • This situation has caused many countries to look inward and rely on their local

manufacturers to bridge the supply gap

  • Meanwhile, the manufacturing capacity of Africa’s pharmaceutical companies

re remain weak and fragile to appropriately bridge the shortage gap

DIAGNOSIS OF THE AFRICAN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

  • We have seen that Africa’s pharmaceutical market is currently achieving significantly

high growth

  • The value of the industry rose from USD 5.5 billion in 2007 to USD 28.56 billion in 2017.
  • Yet local production of medicine remains weak and limited because the Industrial base
  • f Africa is weak.
  • Local manufacturers produce only 2

25 to 3 30% of pharmaceuticals and less t than 1 10% o

  • f

medical s supplies that are on the African market.

  • Practically, this is not enough to meet the growing demand of medical supplies in the

wake of this outbreak.

  • This is why the Bank is stepping in to roll up financing instruments aimed at boosting

local production of medical supplies in response to the outbreak on the continent.

ADB’S OVERALL RESPONSE TO THE COVID19 CRISES ACROSS THE CONTINENT

The Bank’s overall response mechanism to this pandemic is consolidated into three separate strategies 1. Ensure the supply of emergency materials-- Immediate t term r response ( (April – June June 2020 2020)

  • 2. Boost local production of essential supplies- Sho

Short-term r response ( (June t to D December 2020 2020)

  • 3. Develop Africa Health Defense System- Medium t

to l long t term, H High 5 5#5 S Strategy (2 (2020-2025 2025)

INCENTIVIZE THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO BOOST AFRICA’S MEDICAL SUPPLY CHAINS

  • While the ongoing crisis has exposed the continent’s fragile health systems that

are totally dependent on imports for medical supplies, it equally presents a tremendous opportunity to correct the course

  • The Bank is moving beyond the immediate emergency operation to take the right

steps in incentivizing Africa’s manufacturing SMEs and Pharmaceutical companies to boost Africa’s medical supply chains

  • This approach is taking three different dimensions.

INCENTIVIZE THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO BOOST AFRICA’S MEDICAL SUPPLY CHAINS cont…..

  • Fi

Firstl tly: The Bank will su support ten eligible and viab viable le local SME manufact cturers in each region (North, South, East, Central, West Africa and Nigeria) to swiftly transform their manufacturing capabilities to produce simple products (e.g. medical masks, alcohol-based sanitizers)

  • The support will be through financing, creation of enabling environments, and coordinating off-take agreements

with governments. Through an effective “One Bank” approach, Sectors will work closely with Country offices and Regional Hubs in developing these fast-tracked non-sovereign operations (NSOs).

  • Sec

Secondly: : The Bank will work with existing Private Equity (PE) clients to ch channel up to 25% of the already committed ADB’s financi cing into viable healthcare and pharmace ceutical companies.

  • The Bank has active financing in private equity funds that are investing nearly UA 20 million in 16 Pharmaceutical

companies across all regions of the continent.

  • The Bank will negotiate with Fund Managers the financial implications of increasing private equity funding into

these viable companies. The financial gap will be covered from CRF resources earmarked for NSOs.

  • Th

Thir irdly ly: : The Bank will negotiate with Financi cial Intermediaries (FIs) to enhance ce their on-le lendin ing from ADB’s committed Lines of Credit (LoC), trade finance ce and guarantees to small and medium sized pharmace ceutical and me medical supplies comp mpanies.

FINANCING INSTRUMENTS FOR BOOSTING AFRICA’S MEDICAL SUPPLY CHAINS

  • Under the CRF, UA 1.0 billion of ADB non-sovereign resources available in 2020 will be dedicated

to fighting the COVID-19 crisis

  • This will be used to assist existing private sector clients through reprofiling their debts and loans
  • f existing clients, emergency liquidity facilities, trade finance and guarantees.
  • In addition, UA 0.5 billion is available to support other non-Sovereign projects not directly linked

to the CRF. However, most of these resources (UA 430 million) has been earmarked to a prioritized set of non-sovereign operations that were pre-planned for approvals in 2020.

  • Therefore, th

the Bank wi will seek to mobilize additi tional financing to boost t SME MEs producti tion of medi medical suppl upplies es in n the he sho hort ter erm.

OTHER INNOVATIVE APPROACHES BY THE BANK IN SUPPORT OF AFRICA PHAMACEUTICAL COMPANIES OPERATIONS

  • Supporting the consolidation of pharmaceutical firms through the establishment and financing
  • f four African Regional Health Hubs (AHHs)
  • Facilitating four continental Distribution Notes (DNs) for the production and distribution of

medicines and other medical products with the capacity and capability to meet a large portion

  • f the continent’s demand. The four RPCs will be located in North Africa (Egypt); Southern Africa

(South Africa); East Africa (Kenya); and West Africa (Nigeria), where a large concentration of manufacturing activity exists

  • Facilitating access to low interest loans to (i) pharmaceutical manufacturers and to (ii) the wider

pharmaceutical ecosystem through the financing of SME and pharmaceutical companies toward improvement of their facilities to achieve international standards of good manufacturing practices (GMP), for building capacity and for working
