The Saving Lives and Livelihoods (SLL) initiative is a partnership between the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) and the Mastercard Foundation (MCF) that has been implemented in phases. Phase one was a 3-year initiative that focused on rapid scale up COVID-19 vaccination on the continent with a target of achieving 70% coverage at the end of the project implementation period. This phase has since ended following the aftermath of WHO’s declaration of the end of COVID-19 pandemic as a public health international emergency concern. In the partnership, phase two will now focus on COVID-19 vaccination of frontline health workers, integrating COVID-19 vaccinations in routine MOH immunization services, preparing for future pandemics and strengthening capacity of Africa CDC.
