Strengthening Community and Local Capacities for the production of hygienic products and protective equipment to fight against COVID19 in Africa
To actively seek to counter the negative effects of COVID-19 and mitigating its repercussions, Alwaleed Philanthropies "Global" collaborated with ICESCO to strengthen Community and Local Capacity for making hygiene products and protective equipment to fight against COVID-19 in Africa.
This project will focus on the already existing initiatives in a view to financially and technically support developing the immediate local units to produce hygienic products and create equipment to protect the sanitation system and water supply system for the populations.
Objectives
- Building sustainable capacities for hygienic and protective equipment that goes beyond the COVID-19 crisis.
- Providing financial support to the actors of the informal and local sector to make up for the loss of revenues in order to mitigate the economic consequences of the crisis.
- Empowering women and youth entrepreneurs by making them key actors in the response to COVID-19.
