  • 1 Economic Outlook from Mauritius the COVID-19 Pandemic Is
    Economic outlook from Mauritius The COVID-19 pandemic is severely impacting on the world economy. In 2020, global output contracted by 3.5%. In Mauritius, GDP fell by around 15.2% in real terms. Bold measures taken by Government to mitigate the negative impact of the pandemic on the economy and save thousands of jobs – • Wage Assistance Scheme; • Self-Employed Assistance Scheme and • Other support provided to businesses and individuals. The significant costs of these support schemes, together with the shortfall in tax revenue arising from the contraction in economic activities, have weighed heavily on public finances, leading to a rise in public sector debt. With the gradual rollout of vaccine programmes and additional fiscal support across countries, global economic prospects for 2021 have improved. Main concern of Government is, therefore, to direct our resources and efforts towards policy responses that will help us ride through the negative impact of the second lockdown, strengthen our economic recovery, boost investment, create more employment opportunities, address public health and climate change issues, while at the same time embarking on a medium-term fiscal consolidation programme. Budget 2021/2022 will focus mainly on reducing recurrent expenditure by 25% compared to the voted provisions for FY 2020-2021, implementing projects and schemes that have high impact on growth and job creation and reviewing processes and procedures to ensure effective and timely implementation of projects, and improvement in service delivery. 1 Financing options for the vaccination programme Health is considered as a basic human right and is free of user cost in Mauritius. The Expanded Immunisation Programme covers 100 % of the population.

Many news sources focus mainly on the Palestinians, it actually extends back to early Zionist colonization in the 1920s. Today, in a place of being less able to fight a pandemic (or any major, global crisis) effectively. greater extent than Israelis, but explicitly present, discussing vaccine apartheid and the current conditions of West Bank, Gaza, discrimination against Palestinians continues at varying levels throughout West Bank, because of discriminatory systems put into and Palestinian communities inside Israel. However, few mainstream news sources Gaza, and Israel itself. Here I will provide some examples: Gaza Because of the electricity crisis and daily power outages in Gaza, medical place by Israel before the pandemic began, have examined how these conditions arose in the first place. My project shows how equipment, including respirators, cannot run effectively throughout the day, and the it is clear that Israel is responsible for taking the COVID-19 crisis in Palestine was exacerbated by existing structures of Pre-1948 When the infrastructure of what would eventually become Israel was first built, constant disruptions in power cause the machines to wear out much faster than they action to ameliorate the crisis.

Global Distribution of COVID-19 Vaccines globe, as governments work to contain the spread of the (millions of doses, as of July 28, 2021) virus and its variants. In late 2020, researchers started identifying several COVID-19 variants, now driving surges in related cases and deaths across Africa and south Asia. The United States, India, and Brazil have the highest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases, many caused by the Delta variant. Vaccines and other countermeasures play a growing role in COVID-19 control. However, insufficient access to vaccines in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) raises questions about how inequities may hinder pandemic control worldwide. Congress appropriated approximately $15 billion for a range of COVID-19-related responses through supplemental appropriations (P.L. 116-123, P.L. 116-136, P.L. 116-260, and P.L. 117-2), including $4 billion for multilateral COVID-19 vaccine efforts. The Biden Administration has announced that the United States will provide over 500 million vaccine doses worldwide through direct donations and contributions via COVAX—a multilateral effort comprising nearly 200 countries, co-led Source: Adapted by CRS from United Nations Development by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Coalition for Program (UNDP), Global Dashboard for Vaccine Equity, accessed on Epidemic Preparedness and Innovation (CEPI), and Gavi, August 2, 2021. the Vaccine Alliance.

  • Frequently Asked Questions: the COVAX Humanitarian Buffer, 08
    8 June 2021 Frequently Asked Questions: The COVAX Humanitarian Buffer This FAQ document has been prepared by the IASC Working Group on COVID-19 vaccines. The Working Group was tasked by the IASC Emergency Directors Group to work with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, on the establishment of the COVAX Humanitarian Buffer. These FAQs are intended for all IASC entities, humanitarian partners, and external stakeholders. The FAQs will be updated and re-circulated as required to ensure they reflect the most relevant and up-to-date information. GENERAL 1. What is the COVAX Humanitarian Buffer? The Humanitarian Buffer is a mechanism established within the COVAX Facility to act as a measure of ‘last resort’ to ensure access to COVID-19 vaccines for high-risk and vulnerable populations in humanitarian settings. The Humanitarian Buffer is only to be used where there are unavoidable gaps in coverage in national vaccination plans and micro-plans, despite advocacy efforts. National governments are responsible for ensuring access to COVID-19 vaccines for all people within their respective territory. The ‘first resort’ for all populations of concern, irrespective of legal status, is that they are included in national vaccination plans and reached during the implementation of those plans. Gavi, IASC partners, civil society and others will continue to advocate with national governments to ensure the inclusion of all populations regardless of their legal status in line with the WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE) ‘Values Framework’ and ‘Roadmap For Prioritizing Uses Of COVID-19 Vaccines in The Context Of Limited Supply’ and will advocate for the revision of national plans and micro-plans if required.

  • Data Synthesis: Covid-19 Vaccine Perceptions in Africa: Social and Behavioural Science Data, March 2020-March 2021
    DATA SYNTHESIS: COVID-19 VACCINE PERCEPTIONS IN AFRICA: SOCIAL AND BEHAVIOURAL SCIENCE DATA, MARCH 2020-MARCH 2021 Safe and effective vaccines against COVID-19 are seen as a critical path to ending the pandemic.1 This synthesis brings together data related to public perceptions about COVID-19 vaccines collected between March 2020 and March 2021 in 22 countries in Africa. It provides an overview of the data (primarily from cross-sectional perception surveys), identifies knowledge and research gaps and presents some limitations of translating the available evidence to inform local operational decisions. The synthesis is intended for those designing and delivering vaccination programmes and COVID-19 risk communication and community engagement (RCCE). 5 large-scale surveys are included with over 12 million respondents in 22 central, eastern, western and southern African countries (note: one major study accounts for more than 10 million participants2); data from 14 peer-reviewed questionnaire surveys in 8 countries with n=9,600 participants and 15 social media monitoring, qualitative and community feedback studies. Sample sizes are provided in the first reference for each study and in Table 13 at the end of this document. The data largely predates vaccination campaigns that generally started in the first quarter of 2021. Perceptions will change and further syntheses, that represent the whole continent including North Africa, are planned. This review is part of the Social Science in Humanitarian Action Platform (SSHAP) series on COVID-19 vaccines. It was developed for SSHAP by Anthrologica. It was written by Kevin Bardosh (University of Washington), Tamara Roldan de Jong and Olivia Tulloch (Anthrologica), it was reviewed by colleagues from PERC, LSHTM, IRD, and UNICEF (see acknowledgments) and received coordination support from the RCCE Collective Service.

    SEVENTY-FOURTH WORLD HEALTH ASSEMBLY A74/22 Provisional agenda item 25 20 May 2021 Health conditions in the occupied Palestinian territory, including east Jerusalem, and in the occupied Syrian Golan Report by the Director-General 1. In 2020, the Seventy-third World Health Assembly adopted decision WHA73(32), which requested the Director-General, inter alia, to report on progress made in the implementation of the recommendations contained in his report,1 based on field monitoring, to the Seventy-fourth World Health Assembly. This report responds to that request. SUPPORT AND HEALTH-RELATED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO THE POPULATION IN THE OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY, INCLUDING EAST JERUSALEM, AND IN THE OCCUPIED SYRIAN GOLAN 2. In 2020, WHO provided support and health-related technical assistance to the Palestinian people in the occupied Palestinian territory, including east Jerusalem, in line with the strategic priorities identified jointly with the Palestinian Ministry of Health and partners in the Country Cooperation Strategy for WHO and the occupied Palestinian territory 2017–2020. These priorities align with WHO’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work, 2019–2023. Following the declaration of COVID-19 as a public health emergency of international concern in January 2020, WHO scaled up its critical functions for emergency response, in line with the International Health Regulations (2005) and as the lead agency of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee’s Global Health Cluster. 3. The WHO Health Emergencies Programme, in line with the second strategic priority of the Country Cooperation Strategy, was instrumental in preparedness and response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the occupied Palestinian territory in 2020.
