Key results from TESS MAV+

TESS MAV+ supports Team Europe in strengthening its partnership on health with Africa in line with the EU’s Global Gateway Strategy, serving as the secretariat for the Team Europe Initiative on the AU-EU Health Partnership.

Working behind the scenes, TESS MAV+ convenes a broad cross-section of European stakeholders and coordinates regular discussions between European, African and international actors, ensuring ongoing dialogue and alignment. While TESS MAV+ primarily focuses on supporting MAV+ in increasing manufacturing and access to health products in Africa, it has also been supporting the overarching AU-EU Health Partnership since 2025.

TESS MAV+ includes staff based in Europe and embedded experts at Africa CDC, AUDA-NEPAD and the African Medicines Agency. Working together, they develop and implement continental initiatives that accelerate African—and European—health systems and security.
