Abstract

The study assesses the capability/capacity of local manufacturers in the East Africa Community (EAC) region (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Ethiopia) to produce essential medicines. As well, it explores how partnerships can be leveraged to expand the range of essential medicines that are manufactured in order to improve access to quality medicines through local production. The Science Granting Councils Initiative (SGCI) objective is to enhance knowledge exchange between academia and industry and stimulate private sector investments into research and innovation.
