ACT now, ACT together 2020-2021 Impact Report

Overview
This 2020-2021 Impact Report looks back at the challenges and progress of the ACT-Accelerator over the last year. It highlights the accelerated actions taken by each of the ACT-Accelerator pillars to ensure low- and middle-income countries are not left behind in the race to protect their health workers, test their populations, and ensure appropriate treatments, medical supplies and more recently vaccines, are delivered to where they are needed most.
The report describes the partnerships built with these countries to identify gaps in their health systems and jointly find solutions. It illustrates the solidarity underpinning the collaboration to find new tools, conduct vaccine trials, recruit volunteer patients to test existing treatments and support financing facilities to guarantee procurement of COVID-19 tools. Countries and communities where ACT-Accelerator has made a difference are showcased.
The summary of this report is also available in all six UN languages.
