From this mornings news.:
All over the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has upended the lives of children and their families. During this time, UNICEF has provided support to the most vulnerable children, working to safeguard their access to education, nutrition and essential health services. At the same time, UNICEF acts as a key partner and lead procurer for the Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator (ACT-A), a global collaboration to speed up the development, production and equitable access to COVID-19 tests, treatments and vaccines.

The Diagnostics Pillar is co-convened by the Foundation for Innovative New
Diagnostics (FIND) and the Global Fund, with WHO leading on regulatory policy, product
procurement and allocation, and country access and support, while supporting R&D
efforts. It aims to rapidly identify game-changing new diagnostics for the world, and
deliver 900 million affordable, high quality diagnostic tests by the end of 2021 for
populations in low- and low-middle income countries
