What is the #GlobalGateway Africa – Europe Investment Package?
It is all about supporting Africa for a strong, inclusive, green and digital recovery and transformation.
#TeamEurope – the EU and EU countries, will support concrete and transformational project in priority areas.
We will invest in projects with concrete objectives for the green transition.
This includes:
🔷 increasing the renewable energy generation capacity by at least an additional 300 GW,
🔷 protecting biodiversity by stabilising 3 million km² of land.
#TeamEurope is lead contributor to #COVAX with close to €3.5 billion and is Africa’s biggest #COVID19 vaccines donor.
We are helping accelerate the roll-out of vaccines with supply of auxiliary material like syringes, supply chain management, logistics and service delivery.
We will support African partners in strengthening local pharmaceutical systems and manufacturing capacity.
This means better access to medicines and vaccines for people in the region.
By 2030 we will double our current market share of chips to 20%.
Together with EU countries, we will mobilise more than €43 billion of public and private investments to prepare, anticipate, and swiftly respond to the current and future supply chains disruptions.
This is why we are working on prevention, early diagnosis, and equal access to care.
