Release of Regional Report summarizing key trends across surveyed African Union Member States and highlighting paths forward

Release of Report: Responding to COVID-19 in Africa

As the world battles new COVID-19 variants and supply of vaccines remains critically low in Africa, African Union Member States must find the balance between minimizing threats from COVID-19 and the indirect burdens of public health measures, including income loss, food insecurity, and disrupted access to essential medical services. New findings from a Partnership for Evidence-Based Response to COVID-19 (PERC) report to be released May 12, 2021 show that these problems remain substantial across the African continent: 81% of respondents reported challenges accessing food, 77% reported experiencing income loss and 42% reported missing medical visits. The report calls for targeted public health measures for high-risk populations, increased surveillance in light of new variants and scaled-up vaccine supply from the global community to control the pandemic in Africa. The findings are based on a new survey of over 24,000 adults in 19 African Union Member States, conducted by the Partnership for Evidence-Based COVID-19 Response (PERC). In its new regional report—the third in a series on “Using Data to Find a Balance”—PERC analyzes public opinion survey responses along with social, economic, and epidemiological data, and offers recommendations for governments as they navigate the ongoing pandemic. To read the full report, please visit the PERC website

Release of 19 In-Depth Situational Analyses for African Union Member States

On March 17 and 24, the Partnership for Evidence-based Response to COVID-19 (PERC) released situational analyses for 19 African Union Member States. Members and experts of the NASEM network provided expert peer reviews of the report findings. The reports and presentation material for wave 3 can be found here, and translations will be available for relevant reports. In April, PERC will release a report analyzing regional trends. In addition to overseeing peer review of the PERC reports, NASEM works closely with RTSL on dissemination and capacity building efforts with African science academy partners. PERC briefs available now: Cameroon DRC Egypt Ethiopia Ghana Guinea Conakry Ivory Coast Kenya Liberia Morocco Mozambique Nigeria Senegal South Africa Sudan Tunisia Uganda Zambia Zimbabwe What is PERC? The Partnership for Evidence-Based Response to COVID-19 (PERC) is a public-private partnership that supports evidence-based measures to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on African Union (AU) Member States. PERC aims to help governments determine the acceptability, impact and effectiveness of public health and social measures (PHSMs) for COVID-19, including their secondary impacts on health, food security and the economy. PERC collects data through quarterly telephone surveys in 19 African countries, which are supplemented with weekly social media scraping data.
