MAV+ is a comprehensive support package tackling barriers to manufacturing and access to health products and technologies in Africa that is tightly aligned with African strategies and priorities.

MAV+ and equitable access to health products
Access to quality-assured, safe, and affordable health products remains a critical barrier to achieving Universal Health Coverage across Africa. Challenges around regulation, pricing, procurement, and distribution often result in disparities that disproportionately affect vulnerable populations.
The Team Europe Initiative MAV+ supports 360° approach to strengthening both local manufacturing and equitable access to medicines and health products.
