SHI supported the development of an evidence-based strategy to strengthen pharmaceutical manufacturing and regulatory skills in Africa, with focused analyses in Ghana and South Africa. The work assessed regulatory and manufacturing skills gaps, reviewed existing training provision, and analysed alignment with regulatory maturity and industry demand.   SHI supported structured analysis and ensured disciplined execution, while findings and strategic direction were shaped through engagement with regional stakeholders.

The initiative identified scalable, high-impact intervention options, contributing to a shared understanding of where targeted skills development could strengthen local manufacturing, regulatory resilience, and health security.
