About The ADB Challenge
As scientists continue to work at great speed to develop safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines, countries must also strengthen their capacity to distribute and administer them as quickly and efficiently as possible. Hence, as part of ADB’s work to address COVID-19 within the region, it is launching a three-part COVID-19 Vaccine Challenge Series.
The COVID-19 Vaccine Challenge Series aims to find several digital solutions that will help ADB’s developing member countries (DMCs) tackle a broad range of challenges as vaccines become available—from vaccine delivery and distribution to public communication and education, to mobilization and monitoring of healthcare workers and volunteers, as well as safe and efficient administration of COVID-19 vaccines.
This challenge is the first part of the COVID-19 Vaccine challenge series and aims at addressing the two challenges below.
