African Development Fund to improve health on the continent
The Board of Directors of the African Development Fund has approved a grant of $14.26 million to the West African Health Organization (WAHO) to strengthen health systems in seven countries.
The project plans to establish cross-border laboratories "One Health" in Benin and Togo, as well as equip, repair and maintain biomedical and diagnostic equipment in medical institutions in the Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
WAHO is an institution of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) specializing in healthcare. It plays a central coordinating role by aligning development partner support with regional health priorities in the 12 ECOWAS member states.
