End of Year Message from H.E. Moussa Faki Mahamat, Chairperson of the African Union Commission
Dear Colleagues,
As we mark the end of the year 2020, we also mark the end of one of the most extraordinary and challenging years in living memory. From the first recorded case of Covid-19 on the Continent on 14 February 2020, Member States through a coordinated Continental strategy, have shown singular resilience.
But the pandemic has shown similar resilience, proving that the challenging task of protecting our health and livelihoods, while ensuring recovery of our economies, still lies ahead as we begin a new year.
But it is important to look back to the journey that was 2020. The Union s Continental Response, coordinated by the AU technical agency tasked with supporting Member States with Preparedness, Response and Recovery from public health emergencies, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (AfricaCDC), kicked in early and fast.
