The United Nations Technology Bank has formed an alliance with the UN Development Programme, UN Conference on Trade and Development and the World Health Organisation to increase access to life-saving
health technologies for Nigeria and other developing countries.
According to them, lack of access to technical expertise, training and regulatory frameworks also limit local production of essential equipment in these regions, particularly for more complex products such as ventilators. “Now, more than ever, the global community needs to unite to save lives and secure sustainable futures. Inequalities are exacerbating the technology and digital divide when it comes to opportunities for youth, creating a divide that threatens to leave them behind,” the Deputy Secretary-General of the UN, Amina Mohammed said.
According to her, the initiative, which is open to all developing countries, will also be supported by its core partners, UNDP, UNCTAD and WHO. TAP’s key functions, according to the statement, will include product information, technical guidanceand partnerships to match companies based on expertise, needs and capacity.
