Optimizing the global pharmaceutical value chain for improved health and
development
Background and milestones 5 principles underpinning the AU model for
promoting and developing Africa’s pharmaceutical manufacturing industry
Overview of the pharmaceutical manufacturing system situation in Africa
Key achievements, challenges and opportunities
Recommendations on way forward
PMPA: Borne out of the recognition by African Heads of state of the tremendous challenges facing African healthcare systems
Original decision to develop a PMPA – Abuja 2005Initial Plan endorsed by Heads of State – Accra 2007Endorsement of Business plan – 2012
Medicines regulatory systems strengthening: borne out of need to ensure quality, safety, and efficacy of products
AMRH Programme developed -2009AU model law on medical product regulations-2013Endorsement of the concept and milestones for establishment of AMA- 2015
1. Quality and affordability of medical products is essential for promoting public health and for viability and sustainability of the local industry ;
2. Expansion of the local industry will trigger strengthening of regulatory systems to promote safety, efficacy and curtail counterfeit products;
3. Competitiveness driven by enhancing skills, innovation & technology base will bring the industry closer to the consumer market;
4. Self reliance will emanate from optimizing the global pharmaceutical value chains as opposed to dependence on imported finished products;
5. Development and enforcement of coherent policies across supporting sectors will create enabling environment for sustainability of robust healthcare delivery systems.
Maintaining sector on continental and global agenda while leveraging support through international multilateral and bilateral cooperation China, EU, USA, India..;
Creating strategic partnerships, collaboration with local and global public and private sector actors;
Facilitating country and regional level adoption/adaption /implementation of continentally agreed policy, legislative and regulatory frameworks/strategies/initiatives e.g AU Roadmap on SRGS, AMRH, AMA, AU model law on medical product regulation;
Supporting enhancement of national and regional institutional manufacturing and regulatory capacities and capabilities(sector strategies for some MS and RECs e.g. EAC, ECOWAS, SADC;
Anchor/leverage other continental socio economic development efforts (industry(AIDA), trade(CFTA), infrastructure(PIDA), agriculture(CAADP), Science and Technology and Innovation(STISA) , CAP etc.)”.

Challenges: Pharma Value Chain
11
Access to quality healthcare is a fundamental Human Right The promotion of industrial development and the
safeguarding and protection of public health are not mutually exclusive priorities
The production of quality medicines and the development of an international GMP compliant industry in Africa are possible, desirable and eminently doable
Local production has huge potential to not only contribute to improved healthcare provision, but also to stimulate economic growth, self reliance and develop skills and increase the knowledge base.

Support and facilitate:
Increased dialogue at national, regional, continental and international fora to maintain awareness and recognition by policy and decision makers of the potential contribution of the pharma sector to both industrial agenda and the healthcare system of the continent;
Implementation of continental strategies that define Africa's trajectory for promoting and developing the sector that have been elaborated and endorsed by high level policy makers and attracted the interest of a broad range of stakeholders from both public and private sectors and stimulated action at national and regional level;
Support and facilitate:
strategic partnerships and platforms for international cooperation fostered by AU leadership to leverage support for growth of the local manufacturing industry across the its value chain;
Continental level efforts to promote the creation of enabling policy and legislative environment for the growth of the sector to sustain action at national and regional level and trigger investments/support from public and private sector, local and international actors
Agree to support and adopt the following as key instruments and mechanisms for sustaining national and regional level achievements in promoting and developing the pharmaceutical sector for improved health and development :◦ PMPA business plan ◦ AU model law on medical product regulations ◦ Task team to facilitate the establishment African Medicines
Agency and take note its progress report◦ Biennial African regulators forum
