Regulatory Environments and Resilience Partnership Models.

Regulatory Environments and Resilience Partnership Models This webinar is the third and final session in the African-led HIV Control Working Group (AHCWG) Webinar Series 2026 on Africa’s Sovereign Health Financing and Resilience. As African countries strengthen domestic health systems and advance health sovereignty, attention is increasingly turning to the regulatory, procurement, manufacturing, and partnership systems that support access to medicines and diagnostics. Sustainable HIV responses depend not only on financing and policy frameworks, but also on the institutions and partnerships that enable products and services to reach communities safely, efficiently, and equitably. The discussion examines the role of regulatory harmonisation, local manufacturing, procurement reform, and partnership models in strengthening resilient HIV responses across Africa. It also explores the contribution of the African Medicines Agency (AMA), opportunities for expanding local production of HIV medicines and diagnostics, and the governance considerations shaping country ownership and long-term sustainability.
