The CIDCA and the UNFPA agreed to cooperate on providing healthcare assistance to Sao Tome and Principe and Gambia in Central and West Africa that are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The project, supported by the South-South Cooperation Assistance Fund, aims to improve the capabilities in pandemic control and response in Sao Tome and Principe and Gambia and ensure their health systems can continuously provide basic public health services such as reproductive and maternal care during the pandemic.
