United Nations Video: We First, Not Me First - Africa needs timely access to safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines (WHO)

Brazzaville, 21 January 2021 – While the development and approval of safe and effective vaccines less than a year after the emergence of COVID-19 is a stunning achievement, Africa is in danger of being left behind as countries in other regions strike bilateral deals, driving up prices. As of early this week 40 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered in 50 mostly high-income countries. However, in Africa, Guinea is the sole low-income nation to provide vaccines and to date these have only been administered to 25 people. Seychelles, which is a high-income country, is the only one on the continent to start a national vaccination campaign. “We first, not me first, is the only way to end the pandemic. Vaccine hoarding will only prolong the ordeal and delay Africa's recovery. It is deeply unjust that the most vulnerable Africans are forced to wait for vaccines while lower-risk groups in rich countries are made safe,” said Dr Matshidiso Moeti, the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for Africa. “Health workers and vulnerable people in Africa need urgent access to safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines.” The COVAX Facility – which is co-led by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and WHO – has secured 2 billion doses of vaccine from five producers, with options for over 1 billion more doses. “COVAX is on track to start delivering vaccine doses and begin ensuring global access to vaccines, said Thabani Maphosa, Managing Director, Country Programmes, GAVI.” This massive international undertaking has been made possible thanks to donations, work towards dose-sharing deals and deals with manufacturers that have brought us to almost 2 billion doses secured. We look forward to rollout in the coming weeks." In Africa, the coalition has committed to vaccinating at least 20% of the population by the end of 2021 by providing a maximum of 600 million doses based on two doses per individual disbursed in phases. An initial 30 million doses are expected to start arriving in countries by March with the aim of covering 3% of the general population, prioritizing mainly healthcare workers and other priority groups and then expanding to cover additional vulnerable groups, such as the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions. Most of the doses are expected to arrive in the second half of the year. These timelines and quantities could change if candidate vaccines fail to meet regulatory approval or production, delivery and funding face challenges. To make sure that vaccines are transported and stored adequately to remain effective, WHO, Gavi, UNICEF and other partners are working with countries to support their readiness to receive vaccines by mapping existing cold chain equipment and storage capacity as well as providing technical support for countries to be ready to receive and manage the vaccines. According to the WHO vaccine introduction readiness assessment tool, African nations are on average 42% ready for their mass-vaccination campaigns, which is an improvement on the starting point of 33% two months ago. However, there is still a long way to go to reach the desired benchmark of 80%. As the largest vaccine buyer in the world, procuring more than 2 billion doses annually for routine immunization and outbreak response on behalf of nearly 100 countries, UNICEF is coordinating and supporting the procurement, international freight and delivery of COVID-19 vaccines for the COVAX Facility. This is the biggest, most sophisticated ground operation in the history of immunization. UNICEF is stockpiling one billion syringes and buying 10 million safety boxes so that used syringes and needles can be disposed in a safe manner by personnel at health facilities, thus preventing the risk of injuries and blood borne diseases. “UNICEF has put in place a global network of freight forwarders and logistics providers to deliver vaccines as quickly and safely as possible as part of this historic and mammoth operation,” said Mohamed Fall, UNICEF Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Director. “This invaluable collaboration will ensure that we have enough transport capacity in place for delivering COVID-19 vaccine doses, syringes and safety boxes to the front-line workers who ultimately protect the millions of children who depend on their vital services.” All the 54 countries on the continent have expressed interest in the COVAX Facility. Eight higher and middle-income countries will self-finance their own participation, while lower-middle income and low-income countries will access the vaccines at no cost through the Facility. The vaccines distributed by COVAX will have received WHO Emergency Use Listing authorization and as such will have undergone stringent validation of their safety and effectiveness. However, vaccine nationalism is threatening the COVAX initiative.

Head of the United Nations Verification Mission in Colombia Carlos Ruiz Massieu told Security Council today “2021 is year five of the 15-year timeframe ambition for the implementation of the entirety of the peace agreement. It is incumbent to ensure 2021 is remembered as the year in which bold steps are taking to bring into fruition the full promise of sustainable peace enshrined in the agreement.” Addressing the Council via a video link today (21 Jan), Massieu urged both parties in Colombia and “all Colombian actors to work together to protect the achievement reached so far and to accelerate momentum on pending issues especially the five priorities outlined in the Secretary-General’s report.” The chief of the mission also said, “violence against former combatants, social leader, human rights defenders and communities remains the most serious threat to peacebuilding in Colombia.” Massieu explained, “while multiple measures have been taken to try to address this violence, every killing is a tragic blow to peace, and a call to ensure the security measures undertaken by authorities translate into effective improvements in the territories.” He also stated that “victims and Colombian society in general will be looking with great expectation this year at the comprehensive system for truce, justice, reparation and non-repetition with the first sentences set to be issued by the special jurisdiction for peace.” Massieu added, “the continued work by the Truce Commission in supporting reconciliation efforts and advancing in final report and sustain progress by the special unit for the search for persons deemed as missing.” Also addressing the Council via a video link was Colombian Minister for Foreign Affairs Claudia Blum de Barberi. The Foreign Minister said, “our greatest challenge remains security in the communities, the safety and security for the social leaders and human rights defenders and former combatants.” De Barberi continued, “the international community knows that the agreement was signed between two parties in 2016, in the midst of other sources of ongoing violence. Illegal armed groups which remain throughout certain areas of the territory and others which have a reason, all of them through involved in drug trafficking and other illicit economic activities are a threat to the security of the Colombians.”

Related Videos On: USA & Paris Agreement, Syria, Iraq & other topics - Daily Briefing (21 January 2021)

Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: - United States - Iraq - Syria/Humanitarian - Syria/Independent Advisory Panel - Security Council - Guatemala/Honduras - Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons - South Sudan - Ethiopia - Advisory Board - Honour Roll UNITED STATES Yesterday afternoon, we issued a number of statements last night, responding positively to the decisions issued by the new United States President, Joe Biden. The Secretary-General warmly welcomed President Biden’s steps to re-enter the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and join the growing coalition of governments, cities, states, businesses and people taking ambitious action to confront the climate crisis. We look forward to the leadership of the United States in accelerating global efforts towards net zero, including bringing forward a new nationally determined contribution with ambitious 2030 targets and climate finance in advance of COP26 in Glasgow this year. Yesterday, the US notified the Secretary-General of its acceptance of the Paris Agreement of 12 December 2015. The US signed the Paris Agreement on 22 April 2016 and expressed its consent to be bound by the Agreement by acceptance on 3 September 2016, before withdrawing from the Agreement as of 4 November 2020. A new instrument of acceptance of the Paris Agreement by the US was signed by President Biden on 20 January and deposited with the Secretary-General on the same day – that is, yesterday. The Paris Agreement will enter into force for the US on 19 February 2021, in accordance with article 21 (3) of the Agreement. The Secretary-General also welcomed the US’ stated re-engagement with the World Health Organization (WHO). Supporting the WHO is absolutely critical to the world’s efforts for a better coordinated response against COVID-19, the Secretary-General said. Now is the time for unity and for the international community to work together in solidarity to stop this virus and its shattering consequences. With vaccines being a critical tool in the battle against COVID-19, the US joining and supporting the COVAX facility will give momentum to efforts to ensure equitable access to vaccines for all countries. Yesterday, the US formally informed the Secretary-General of the revocation of its notification of withdrawal of 6 July 2020 from the Constitution of the World Health Organization, which would have been effective, under certain conditions, on 6 July of this year. Accordingly, the United States remains a party to the WHO Constitution and, without interruption, a Member of the World Health Organization since 21 June 1948. Lastly, we also welcomed the positive steps announced by the US administration relating to migration and refugees. The Secretary-General looks forward to working with the new US administration to strengthen multilateral cooperation in these areas and hopes the US will join the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration. IRAQ The Secretary-General strongly condemns the deadly double suicide bombing targeting civilians at a market in Baghdad today. He expresses his deep condolences to the families of the victims and to the Government and people of Iraq and wishes a speedy recovery to those injured. The Secretary-General appeals to the people of Iraq to reject any attempts to spread fear and violence aimed at undermining peace, stability and unity. He calls on the Government to ensure that those behind these horrific crimes are swiftly identified and brought to justice. The Secretary-General reiterates the commitment of the United Nations to support the people and Government of Iraq in their efforts to consolidate peace. The UN Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) said that such a despicable act will not weaken Iraq's march towards stability and prosperity. They offer their sincere condolences to families of the deceased and wish the injured a speedy recovery. SYRIA/HUMANITARIAN In a joint statement, the UN Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator for Syria, Imran Riza, and the Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for the Syria Crisis, Muhannad Hadi, have expressed serious concerns over the deteriorating security conditions at Al Hol camp, in the north-east. Between 1 and 16 January, we received reports of the murders of 12 Syrian and Iraqi camp residents, including one woman Iraqi refugee. Another person was critically injured in a violent attack. These disturbing events indicate an increasingly untenable security environment at Al Hol. They also jeopardize the UN and the UN’s humanitarian partners’ ability to safely deliver critical humanitarian assistance to its residents.

Five people were killed when the blaze broke out in a building still under construction. But the CEO Adar Poonawalla said neither production nor the company's vaccine stockpile was affected.

Joe Biden has been sworn in as the 46th president of the United States, but his inauguration ceremony looked very different to those of previous leaders. While huge crowds would typically pack the National Mall for the event, today a ‘Field of Flags’ was planted to represent Americans who could not attend. Donald Trump famously claimed that attendance in 2017 was the highest ever. But today he became the first president in modern history not to attend his successor’s swearing in. Kamala Harris also made history as the first black, female vice president to take the oath of office. At most inaugurations, the crowd is close enough to hear the new president’s speech but this time the whole area around Capitol Hill was locked down by security forces. Both the pandemic and the recent Capitol siege mean Americans were asked to watch from home. The few invited guests present today wore masks and were all tested for coronavirus and the traditional stroll down Pennsylvania Avenue was cancelled. Instead, Biden received a military escort for the few blocks to the White House.

Related Videos On: The uprising of India’s farmers: What’s behind the protests?

As a standoff between tens of thousands of protesting farmers and the Indian government continues to intensify over new legislation farmers claim will threaten their livelihoods, Taz Dhaliwal looks back at the factors that led to the demonstrations that have garnered international attention. Farmers in India have been rallying for months against three agricultural laws enacted Sept. 20 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government. The Indian government has argued the changes will give farmers more freedom, but farmers are concerned the new laws will drive down their products’ prices with no safeguards to protect them against corporate takeovers and exploitation. But the crisis in India's agricultural sector is nothing new as the industry has been suffering for decades. Taz explains.
