As Egypt’s national authority for unified procurement and medical-technology management, the Unified Procurement Authority (UPA) plays a central role in operationalizing the country's regional collaboration strategy. UPA serves as a strategic platform through which Egypt extends its expertise in procurement reform, digital supply-chain management, health-technology assessment, and industrial localization to African and Middle Eastern partners. By engaging with the Africa CDC and regional localization of manufacturing and pooled-procurement initiatives, UPA contributes to building a more harmonized, efficient, and equitable health-technology ecosystem across the continent.

UPA’s leadership in establishing and coordinating the Egyptian Vaccine Manufacturers Alliance (EVMA) further exemplifies Egypt’s commitment to regional biomanufacturing development. Through EVMA, Egypt collaborates with international partners to drive technology transfer, workforce development, regulatory alignment, and regional market integration. In parallel, UPA’s expanding partnerships with global companies and multilateral bodies strengthen Egypt’s position as a regional hub for medical innovation, advanced logistics, and strategic supply-chain services. This alignment ensures that Egypt not only secures its own health-system resilience but also contributes directly to Africa’s broader vision for sustainable access, industrial independence, and collective preparedness.
