Diana Nsubuga, Living Goods’ Regional Deputy Director for Policy and Advocacy, was selected as a civil society representative to the ACT-A Health Systems Connector—a global collaboration led by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Gavi, Global Fund, WHO, the World Bank, and other partners to accelerate development, production, and equitable access to COVID tests, treatments, and vaccines. Through this global collaboration, Living Goods will be able to influence COVID-related health systems strengthening efforts.

We became a member of the Infection, Prevention, and Control technical working group at the Africa CDC, a role we will use to continue supporting governments in policy formulation and operationalizing COVID policies on the continent.
