The Mo Ibrahim Foundation, along with a group of former African leaders, are calling on wealthier nations to help reduce COVID-19 vaccine inequality.
“COVID-19 is an enemy that knows no borders. There will be no final victory until every person in every country is protected,” the Mo Ibrahim Foundation warned this week.
As the global community  celebrated World Health Day on 7 April, the governance organisation said that vaccine access for Africa should be treated as a “matter of global security.”
Africa is one “of the world’s most vulnerable regions” and “is home to 17% of the world’s population but accounts for just 0.5% of global vaccine distribution,” the foundation said
