Call for Applications: Enhancing Market Access and Technical Capacity of Ghana’s Pharmaceutical Manufacturers
The “Strengthening the Ghanaian Pharmaceutical Sector with a Focus on Vaccine Production” (PharmaVax Ghana) programme is inviting qualified Ghanaian private pharmaceutical manufacturing companies to submit responses to this Call for Applications: Enhancing Market Access and Technical Capacity of Ghana’s Pharmaceutical Manufacturers.
The “Strengthening the Ghanaian Pharmaceutical Sector with a Focus on Vaccine Production” (PharmaVax Ghana) programme is co-financed by the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) as part of the Team Europe Initiative on Manufacturing and Access to Vaccines, Medicines and Health Technologies in Africa (MAV+). It is implemented by GIZ in partnership with the Government of Ghana, Luvent Consulting, a Chemonics Company, and other stakeholders. The programme aims to strengthen Ghana’s pharmaceutical industry ecosystem including governance and regulation, skills development, research and development and private sector development.
As part of its private sector development component, the programme is inviting qualified Ghanaian private pharmaceutical manufacturing companies to submit responses to this Call for Applications: Enhancing Market Access and Technical Capacity of Ghana’s Pharmaceutical Manufacturers. The call is organised by GIZ and Luvent Consulting, a Chemonics Company, and its consortium partners Quamed and Health Access Network, in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry (MOTAI).
This call will identify interested companies to receive tailored expert services- a unique opportunity to strengthen competitiveness and expand the production of quality, safe, effective, and affordable vaccines and pharmaceutical products. Participation is limited, and selection will be based on merit and readiness to engage.
Please note that this call for applications targets medium and large-scale producers (i.e. mainly members and associate members of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association of Ghana) due to its focus on compliance with international regulatory standards and market access. A separate call for applications for small-scale producers will be launched in the coming months.
Please note: This initiative does NOT provide direct funding or co-financing. Support will be offered in the form of targeted technical and business assistance (e.g. specialized training and advisory support in areas outlined in section 3).
The deadline for applications is 19 December 2025. See the Applicant Information Pack and official Application Form for further instructions.
