Regional dimension and management of the Team Europe Initiative (TEI) on Manufacturing and Access to Vaccines, Medicines and Health Technologies (MAV+) in Africa.  Part II. AMA. The Action will contribute to&nbsp;the Team Europe initiative on manufacturing and access to vaccines, medicines and health technologies (MAV+) by supporting the development of regulatory systems on the African continent and the establishment of the African Medicines Agency (AMA). It will benefit from the expertise and experience of the European medicines regulatory network, including the European Medicines Agency (EMA). MAV+ offers a comprehensive, 360-degree approach that takes into account three dimensions: supply and demand side, and the enabling environment. It revolves around 6 work streams: 1) industrial development, supply chains and private sector, 2) market shaping, demand and trade facilitation, 3) regulatory strengthening, 4) technology transfer and intellectual property management, 5) access to finance, 6) R&amp;D, higher education and skills. It encompasses national and regional level interventions. This Action refers to the regulatory strengthening work stream and represents the second regional action under MAV+. The intervention logic of the first regional Action (RIP AAP 2021) included four specific objectives (SO) regarding 1) the advancement of regulatory convergence, harmonisation, and use of reliance mechanisms between regulatory authorities, 2) technology transfer and innovation for local production, 3) demand consolidation and strategic purchasing, and 4) enhancing coordination and management. Regarding SO 1, contracts with implementers, WHO and AUDA-NEPAD, are currently under finalization. The latter is leading the African Medicine Regulatory Harmonisation (AMRH) project and the establishment of the African Medicines Agency (AMA) ¿details in section 2.1. The AAP 2022 represents a second logical step to advance this agenda. The budget for this action is of EUR 20 million. In order to cover the remaining gaps in the regulatory domain, the intervention logic of this second regional Action focuses on two specific objectives:Strengthen medicines and healthcare products regulatory systems in Africa through regulatory harmonisation, convergence and reliance&nbsp;mechanisms.&nbsp; 2.&nbsp;Enhance EU/EMA-AU/AMA cooperation, effective coordination and good governance of health products. It recognises the political imperative of supporting vaccine manufacturing, and it seeks to differentiate the European Union from other partners in two ways. First, through establishing its credentials in support of the broader agenda on access to medicines, access to innovation and strengthening systems. Secondly, through helping African actors and solutions deliver for Africa¿s challenges and with African partners.
Activity under preparation Final evaluation of the Intra-ACP GCCA+ Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change and Resilience Building (PACRES) <p>Systematic and timely evaluation of its programmes and activities is an established priority of the European Commission.

The Action will support Farmers' Organizations in ACP countries to improve the livelihoods and food security situation of smallholder farmers and ensure sustainable and inclusive growth by strengthening FOs institutional and organisational capacities and improving FOs entrepreneurial capacities and participation in value chains. The main stakeholders will be Panafrican Farmers' Organisation (PAFO), Regional, National and Subnational Farmers' Organisations, as well as AgriCord and its network of agri-agencies. Farmers' organizations in the Caribbean and Pacific regions will be identified during the inception phase of this programme.
