A paltry 1.8% of vaccines administered globally have gone into arms in #Africa as a whole... And while the role of #COVAX, #US and #China is important to clarify, we have to remember the benchmark... 1.3bn doses ordered, a far cry from 121 million doses delivered so far, by all.
Which #African countries have received #COVAX vaccines? Which have received vaccines from #China and supported by the #US? What proportion are donated or sold? All the answers and more in exerpts of our monthly #infographic update...

What we saw and experienced 40 years ago with AIDS, that history is being repeated.
As Africa is now facing its third and biggest COVID wave so far, it is getting left behind in the race for vaccine doses.
This vaccine apartheid is unacceptable.

As COVID-19 continues to extend and intensify its reach into communities, particularly in the Global South, please share this statement. It is by and on behalf of Atlantic Fellows around the world about the acute urgency of achieving vaccine equity.

Hearing from Selima Kabir of @BRACJPGSPH that even pre-pandemic in Bangladesh, many women woke up early (before dawn) to get housework completed before going out to work. This burden has increased.
ALT “Well, the added work during the lockdown was constantly making hot water, then spraying the house with disinfectant. Had to clean and sweep more carefully and frequently.”

Out of 1.4 billion #COVID19 vaccine doses administered around the world, less than 2% have reached Africa.
Equitable and sustainable vaccine roll-out worldwide is the quickest path towards a fast, and fair recovery for all. bit.ly/3whUTyL

We stan Jemima Pierre: "If one of the legacies of slavery in the Americas was the racialization of enslaved Africans, and indeed the racialization of the modern world, did this legacy of race not also impact the communities on the African continent?"

Historian Jemima Pierre argues that Whiteness serves as a reference point for Ghanaians’ notions of beauty, Blackness, and power, but Ghanaians remain blind to this. #Rewind. africasacountry.com/2013/01/…

Fascinating article from @YusufSerunkuma on the hypocrisy and harm of a "democracy deficit in Africa" narrative. I may not agree with all written here but very much appreciate the valuable critique of "these new colonial administrators" & the so-called democracy industry.
In a long-read for ROAPE, Yusuf Serunkuma argues that ‘democracy’ in Africa is not just a language of exploitation, it is the practice of exploitation itself. Today we must understand the nature of this democracy and the crusaders who promote it. roape.net/2021/04/16/democra…
