The document summarizes the African Union Roadmap on Shared Responsibility and Global Solidarity for AIDS, TB and Malaria response in Africa from 2012-2015. It outlines three pillars of action: more diversified, balanced and sustainable financing models; increased access to medicines through local production and regulatory harmonization; and strengthened leadership, governance and oversight. Key proposed actions include developing national health investment plans, ensuring donor commitments are met, and increasing domestic resource allocation. Benchmarks are proposed to measure progress in diversifying financing by 2015. The document calls for increased and predictable funding from both domestic and international sources to close financing gaps and ensure a sustainable response to AIDS, TB and malaria in Africa.
Handouts on Rapid Analysis of Innovation Response to Covid-19 Pandemic in Nig...KTN
In January 2020, the World Health Organization confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster in Wuhan, China. Since then, the virus has spread all over the world and the year 2020 has become synonymous with this spread and the global response to it.
Africa has not been spared, with the continent recording its first case in February 2020. This global pandemic has continued its devastation in Africa. By the end of June 2020, the situation in our three focus countries were as follows: Kenya (over 6,000 cases and 144 deaths), Nigeria (over 25,000 cases and over 570 deaths) and South Africa (over 150,000 cases and more than 2,650 deaths). This has led to many within the national innovation ecosystems in the three countries to look for ways to address the impacts of the pandemic.
In order to track the impact of the pandemic, AfriLabs and the KTN Global Alliance worked together to deliver a rapid analysis of innovation response to COVID-19 pandemic in Africa, with focus on Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa. The aim of the analysis was to inform the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) and the KTN Global Alliance on how to render effective support to innovation systems in Africa to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as to provide lessons and best practices to strengthen the innovation response to future crises.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

3. AU Roadmap Principles and goal
• The Roadmap presents a set of practical African-sourced
solutions for enhancing Shared Responsibility and Global
Solidarity for AIDS, TB, and Malaria responses in Africa.
• The overarching goal of the AU Roadmap is to support African
countries to exercise leadership to meet AIDS, TB, malaria
targets by 2015 and source African solutions to ensure
universal access to health-related services for all those in need
on a sustainable basis. The AU Roadmap builds on a number of
AU initiatives (e.g. Africa Health Strategy and Abuja
Declaration)
• :
4. The Roadmap: three action pillars
2
Access to medicines –
local production and
regulatory harmonisation
3
Leadership, governance and
oversight for sustainability
4
1
More diversified, balanced
and sustainable financing
models
Priority actions
Develop financial sustainability plans
with clear targets
Ensure development partners meet
commitments and align with Africa’s
priorities
Maximise opportunities to diversify
funding sources and increase
domestic resource allocation
Invest in leading medicines
manufacturers – focusing on AIDS,
TB and malaria
Lay foundations for a single African
regulatory agency
Acquire essential skills through
technology transfers and south-south
cooperation
Incorporate TRIPS flexibilities and
avoid "TRIPS-plus" measures in
trade agreements
Use strategic investment approaches
for scale-up of basic programmes
Support communities to claim their
rights and participate in governance
of the responses
Ensure investments contribute to
health system strengthening
Mobilise leadership at all levels to
implement the Roadmap
5. Key High Level Meetings related to the AU
Roadmap
• July 2012: Ministerial dialogue on value for money on
sustainability and accountability with a call to reduce aid
dependency
• September 2012: The UNGA high level side event in September
2012 event generated broad political consensus around a novel
approach to development cooperation to support
implementation of the AU Roadmap and to achieve, by 2015,
the MDGs targets .
• 29 November 2012: The United States upheld their
commitment to the Shared Responsibility-Global Solidarity
agenda for AIDS ‘PEPFAR Blueprint launch: Creating an AIDSfree Generation’.
• May and July 2013 : AWA Action Committee meeting of HSOG
and the Abuja AU Special Summit.
6. Diversified, balanced and sustainable
financing
• Most African countries have recognized the need to diversify and
expand the sources of funding for health generally and for HIV
responses specifically to reduce their dependence on a few
external funders.
• Measures taken include quantifying the country-level funding gap
(eg. financial gap analysis for malaria for 2013 – 2016 done by all
malaria endemic countries), identifying policy options to increase
resources, increased financial commitment by the private sector
and inclusion of health, malaria and HIV services in different
forms of health insurance and other health financing schemes.
• Member States encouraged to develop financial investment plans for
health, including AIDS, TB and Malaria, showing how national
programme costs will be covered with domestic and external funding
and annual increases in share of domestic funding

9. Commitment by the HOSG for Global Fund
Replenishment
• There was strong support from Heads of State Champions
(Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa, Senegal, Côte
d’Ivoire, Ghana, Rwanda, Malawi, Liberia, Ethiopia,
Mozambique) who have called for a fully-funded Global
Fund replenishment at bilateral meetings with donor
Heads of State, at international events (TICAD V, May 2013
AU Summit (AWA), Abuja + 12 Special Summit), UNGA and
in their communication with donors.
• The Heads of State and Government through the renewed
commitments of Abuja Declaration 2013 urged all
stakeholders to take action in support of achieving the
USD fifteen (15) billion replenishment target of the Global
Fund In this context, call upon Development Partners to
adhere to the 0.7% target of GDP for the contribution to
the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria
10.
11. Scanning the environment:
Health Financing
• GF: Priority has to be given to Global burden of HIV/AIDS, TB
and Malaria, as well as the ability to pay.
• Even if countries provide the maximum ‘fair share’ domestic
financing of their Health especially ATM programs, many of
them, particularly low-income, high burden countries, will
continue to need substantial external support for some time.
• More investment on health is required as Africa seeks to
eliminate ATM (2030 ). This is also compounded by emerging
dynamics including that AIDS is increasingly classified as a
chronic disease.
• GF/UNAIDS/UNDP/RECS/CSOs committed to continue
partner with AU to accelerate the implementation of the AU
Roadmap in up to 2015
12. RECOMMENDATIONS
• AU Member States need to assess prospects for future
external aid, and their own domestic fiscal space.
• Need for Predictable international donor funding as
well as increased domestic investment and innovative
financing that can tap into new resources.
• Need for Timely investment, Combat the emergence of
MDR and XDR TB cases which can cost up 100 times
more. Same issue with the ARV third line high costly and
quite inaccessible in many African countries.
• We must put energy in getting results as the war is won
not when pledges come in, but when new cases of Aids
decline and all those eligible for treatment receive it;
when malaria is eliminated and Tuberculosis under
control.
• Share country experiences, best practices and challenges
in implementing the 3 pillars of the Roadmap
