Coca-cola 2023 Project Last Mile Health Innovator Program for African Entrepreneurs

Published: 11 Nov 2022

In Africa, nearly 50% of people lack access to critical medicines, yet products like Coca-Cola are available almost anywhere on the continent.

The Challenge:Across Africa, governments and donors have made progress in getting medicines into African countries and making them more affordable, but government supply chains often struggle to get medicines to the “last mile” – to the health facilities where people collect them.

The Question:What if civil society, African governments and the private sector came together with a common goal, to make sure life-saving medicines can reach every person in Africa?

Our Response:A powerful cross-sector partnership to leverage and share The Coca-Cola Company’s reach and know-how to support what public health departments are already doing to get medicines to the public and strengthen health systems.
