Since April 2020, the ACT-Accelerator partnership, launched by WHO and partners, has supported the fastest, most coordinated, and successful global effort in history to develop tools to fight a disease. With significant advances in research and development by academia, private sector and government initiatives, the ACT-Accelerator is on the cusp of securing a way to end the acute phase of the pandemic by deploying the tests, treatments and vaccines the world needs.

The Facilitation Council was launched in September 2020 to provide high-level political leadership and advice on global advocacy and resource mobilization to facilitate the work of the COVID-19 Tools Accelerator (ACT-A). The Council was co-chaired by Norway and South Africa, and went into standby mode in November 2022. Further information can be found at: https://www.act-a.org/facilitation-council
