One size does not fit all: adapt and localise for effective, proportionate and equitable responses to COVID-19 in Africa

Description

This commentary presents a preliminary typology of important domains for localisation of public health and social measures, with a focus on interventions to protect people who are vulnerable—socially, economically, politically and also biologically. It call sfor acknowledgement of the importance of local-level responses and the need to support these and for the establishment of fora to share learning about adaptation and effective models. Streamlined funding mechanisms that allow for rapid flow of resources to support initiatives ‘from below’ also need to be strengthened.
