Maldives: Responsive COVID-19 Vaccination for Recovery Project under the APVAX
The project will provide Maldives with needed financing to sustain and upgrade its national coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccination program, within its overall expanded program of immunization, through the project investment component (PIC) modality of the Asia Pacific Vaccine Access Facility (APVAX) of the Asian Development Bank. The PIC grant will support investments for the storage, distribution, delivery, and administration of COVID-19 vaccines, along with related investments in capacity building, which will help ensure the success of the government's COVID-19 vaccine booster program. Continuing to strengthen Maldives' booster vaccination will contribute toward reducing cross-border health risks.
