Review of WHO’s response to COVID-19 in the WHO African Region

WHO’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic involved all three organizational levels: WHO country offices (WCOs), WHO Regional Office for Africa (WHO AFRO) and WHO Headquarters. This report focuses on how each of the three levels delivered WHO’s core functions in the Region to support Member States, especially focusing on WHO AFRO and the Region’s WCOs. It also describes how each level interacted with and supported one another, focusing on how WHO AFRO supported the Region’s WCOs.
