As stated on the project disclosure page, the proposed IFC investment seeks to support Institut Pasteur de Dakar scale up vaccine production capacity in Africa and manufacture up to 300 million doses of vaccines per year. This will be achieved through the construction of a multi-vaccines plant in Diamniadio, Senegal providing for drug substance manufacturing and fill & finish capacities.
The Project is expected to help address the critical supply gap of vaccines in Africa as it creates additional manufacturing capacities and is expected to contribute to meeting the continent’s future needs for vaccines. The Project is expected to help strengthen the future resilience of the region health systems and supply chain and reduce the continent dependence on imports.
As stated by the IFC, the remaining Project costs is expected to be funded through a mix of grant and public financing.
As stated by the IFC, IPD is a biomedical research center and vaccine manufacturer created in 1923. It is a private not-for-profit foundation under Senegalese law. IPD was jointly created and is jointly managed by the Government of Senegal and Institut Pasteur, France. IPD’s mission is to contribute to public health in Africa, especially in Senegal, through research, teaching, medical, epidemiological, and biological training, as well as vaccine production.
The Project is expected to be implemented through a Project special purpose vehicle to be established and to be majority owned by IPD.
