Adams may be overselling the importance of his trip a bit. It is a personal trip after all, and the most recent visit by a US government official to Africa was largely unremarkable, except for one comment on anti-police brutality. Ghanaians are more bothered about economic issues like taxes on online payments and disappointed about their government’s failure to deliver promised infrastructure projects.

Where covid-19 solidarity is concerned, African leaders are more interested in how wealthy countries can increase vaccination rates in the continent by not hoarding the majority of the vaccines produced, creating an inequity that puts the world at risk.

High-ranking judges in Malawi and South Africa have called on rich countries to stop blocking attempts to waive patents to covid-19 vaccines, citing a human right to health. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the World Trade Organization boss, said last week that waiver negotiations were “stuck.”

Until progress is made on that and other fronts, Africa’s fight against covid-19 remains tied to goodwill donations. China plans to help fill some of the existing gap by providing 1 billion vaccine doses to Africa, through a direct donation (600 million) and joint production with Chinese companies.
