Abstract

There is a critical skills gap on the African continent in the regulatory sciences, and an acknowledged need to develop a long-term strategy for training and professional development of African regulatory personnel. A virtual meeting of 40 senior level participants from regional African agencies, African regulatory authorities, international regulatory authorities, the WHO, AUDA-NEPAD and academia from across Africa, Europe, the UK and the USA came together to discuss this topic. The meeting was convened by the South African Health Products BIOGRAPHIES Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) in collaboration with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), CP+ Associates GmbH and Fundisa African Academy of Medicines Development in collaboration with several experienced African regulators. Recognizing the strong baseline of efforts that has already been implemented on the continent across various regulatory authorities, the objectives of the meeting were to share experiences, inspire regulators, build networks and develop a program of action on the development of capacity and capabilities in African regulatory agencies. Following a few short contextual presentations by regulatory experts and academics, an open discussion ensued. This report summarises the talks, key themes from the discussion session and ends with recommendations. INTRODUCTION
