PIC/S: New Partnership with African Union Development Agency

The PIC/S Committee has granted the African Union Development Agency - New Partnership for Africa's Development (AUDA-NEPAD) the status of Associated Partner Organisation.

Sharing a commitment to protecting public health and safety, PIC/S and AUDA-NEPAD have agreed to establish a cooperation framework focused on Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards and quality systems for pharmaceutical products and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API).

The cooperation agreement encompasses the following objectives:

  • Facilitating pre-accession and accession processes to PIC/S for National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) that are members of the African Medicines Agency (AMA)
  • Providing GMP training for inspectors
  • Participating in each other’s meetings

Through collaboration with other stakeholders, these activities aim to strengthen the capacity and confidence of African NRAs and guide them toward becoming PIC/S Participating Authorities.
