Meanwhile, on the 8th of July 2021, the MTN Group and the AfricaCDC launched the One More Push initiative, a three-task, phased campaign aimed at:

1. Reinforcing the importance of/ motivating for continued mask-wearing
2. Driving vaccine safety and influencing vaccine acceptance
3. Ultimately celebrating vaccine adoption.

This initiative is a seamless, natural extension of the Africa Union’s ‘Adapted Africa Joint Continental Strategy for COVID-19 Pandemic’ and focuses on three key levers – ‘Enhance Prevention, Enhance Monitoring and Enhance Treatment’. It is endorsed by Africa’s Health Ministers.

The first phase of One More Push is centered around the ‘Prevent’ lever/advocating for and reinforcing the importance of continued mask-wearing (along with other virus transmission prevention measures).
