The Africa Medical Supplies Platform is a not-for-profit initiative launched by the African Union as an immediate, integrated and practical response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Africa Medical Supplies Platform (AMSP) unlocks immediate access to an African & global base of vetted manufacturers and procurement strategic partners and enables African Union Member States to purchase certified medical equipment such as diagnostic kits, PPE and clinical management devices with increased cost effectiveness & transparency. The platform serves as a unique interface enabling volume aggregation, quota management, payment facilitation as well as logistics & transportation to ensure equitable & efficient access to critical supplies for African governments.

The online platform was developed under the leadership of African Union Special Envoy, Strive Masiyiwa and powered by Janngo and Vaya on behalf of the African Union’s Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) and in partnership with African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) and United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) with the support of leading African & international Institutions, Foundations & Corporations as well as Governments of China, Canada & France. Other technology & knowledge partners include Baobab Circle.
