This grant focused on strengthening regulatory systems and advancing medicines regulation across multiple African countries through targeted technical support, regional collaboration, and capacity building. The work was delivered in partnership with national regulatory authorities and regional bodies, with SHI playing an enabling and coordination role to support implementation, fiduciary oversight, and programme execution.

The initiative contributed to improved regulatory performance, supported progress toward WHO maturity levels, and facilitated more efficient and harmonised regulatory processes across participating countries. Key areas of achievement included strengthening institutional systems, supporting digital and data-driven regulatory tools, enabling regional work-sharing mechanisms, and building sustainable capacity within national authorities.
