The Institut Pasteur de Dakar (IPD) and the Mastercard Foundation have announced a historic $45 million partnership to expand the workforce for vaccine manufacturing in Africa.

IPD, a Senegalese not-for-profit foundation, is working to advance equitable access to health in Africa.

Named MADIBA(Manufacturing in Africa for Disease Immunisation and Building Autonomy) the partnership, according to a statement signed by IPD, aims at developing and building a workforce toward achieving vaccine manufacturing autonomy in Africa.

Based in Senegal, MADIBA aligns with the "Plan Sénégal Émergent" (Emerging Senegal Plan) to manufacture half of the country's pharmaceutical products by 2035 as well as the African Union's ambitious target to fulfill 60 percent of the continent's vaccine needs by 2040. As a blueprint for future vaccine manufacturing facilities across Africa, MADIBA marks a crucial first step towards vaccine self-sufficiency in Africa.
