The African Union Panafrican Veterinary Vaccine Centre (AU-PANVAC), coordinated by African Union, provides vaccine quality control for African vaccine producing laboratories to meet international standards. The Centre promotes standardization and quality control of biological products and provides training and support services for vaccine production laboratories. AU-PANVAC was supported with EU funding under PARC in 1996. AU-IBAR collaborates with AU-PANVAC and the two are currently implementing the VACNADA project.
