5/ most African countries remain behind on tests. Tests across all 55 countries – total 13.6 million – is comparable to tests by single countries @DevReimagined

Africa is playing ''Whack a Mole'' with a blindfold on

For now, it’s important to realise, that unless African countries manage to almost eliminate COVID19 cases now, the majority will likely have to continue testing and maintaining social distancing throughout 2021. That will be tough. @DevReimagined

NEW #infographics: Our bi-weekly update on how #COVID19 is and isn't progressing in #Africa is here! This week we take a deeper look at some apparent "good news" - and ask whether the hard work actually starts now. A #THREAD:
What should #UN reform look like? As the @UN turns 75 this year, members of our policy team reflect on its achievements and challenges - and make a new proposal for a structure to help it help the world #buildbackbetter post-#COVID19

The U.N.’s structural inability to compel the P5 countries to act decisively for the greater good is often acknowledged as a key justification for change, Hannah Ryder, Ovigwe Eguege, and Anna Baisch write. https://buff.ly/2RCXdxS
“China’s economic rise within the P5 has been notable—in fact, doubling in economic importance from accounting for 14 percent to 33 percent of the P5’s total wealth. But for the rest of the world, their economic relationship w/ the P5 has hardly changed over the U.N.’s 75 years.” https://twitter.com/ovigweeguegu/status/1306888320417443841
In our latest for @ForeignPolicy, @hmryder Anna Baisch & I argued that to make @UN fit for-purpose, there is need for reforms, particularly of the UN Security Council. Reform is hard, but for the sake effectiveness & survival of @UN, reforms are needed now.https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/09/17/decolonizing-united-nations-means-abolish-permanent-five-security-council/
Just like movements to 'shop local', 'eat local', could there be one for 'research local? Instead of funding organisations in industrialised economies to study the 'global south'? How to 'decolonise' research and knowledge production? What are the responsibilities of funders?
Yesterday the @UN General Assembly opened for the 75th year. Our policy advisor @OvigweEguegu was invited to @LiuXininBeijing to share an African perspective on whether the #UN matters in #COVID19 age and #China's role. Watch here to hear his views:
https://s-url.cgtn.com/p/GAcdcA
"Reporting on people who have #COVID19 is vital -- but if done incorrectly, it can create social harm." Our CEO @hmryder quoted in this piece on the importance of training on #health and #COVIDー19 reporting in #Nigeria #journalism

Our most recent #COVID19Africa #infographics update - another coming later this week! Stay tuned!
Thanks @Covid_Africa for sharing - an excellent repository of information and commentary on this topic, and great weekly newsletter too!
