The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) has warned that it will blacklist organisations that fail to provide transparency and accountability for funds received for disease outbreak response.
The warning comes from Africa CDC, the continent’s main public health agency that coordinates disease surveillance, prevention and response across member states.
According to the agency, organisations that do not disclose how outbreak funds are used will be excluded from future funding and partnership opportunities.
While the statement does not specify the exact criteria or procedures for blacklisting, it signals a stricter stance on financial governance in the fight against emerging diseases.
