2024 was a transformative year for CoBA as we advanced our mission to strengthen Africa’s blood systems. With the support of the Africa Health Business (AHB) Secretariat, we expanded advocacy efforts, forged strategic partnerships, and implemented targeted initiatives to improve blood availability and safety.

This report highlights CoBA’s impact in shaping policy, raising awareness, and enhancing blood collection efforts. It showcases how collaboration and investment are driving measurable improvements, bringing us closer to a future where safe and sufficient blood is accessible to all. The milestones achieved this year go beyond progress—they signal a shift toward sustainable solutions for Africa’s blood crisis. Through advocacy, innovation, and multisector partnerships, we are demonstrating that meaningful change is within reach. Sustaining this impact requires continued commitment, funding, and strong policy frameworks to ensure that no life is lost due to a lack of safe blood.
