The Africa CDC hopes to note an article published by DeVex on May 12, 2025, and expresses concern over its headlines and overall framing.
The claim that the World Bank has directed the African CDC to reduce staff positions is effectively incorrect. The African CDC has not implemented layoffs and has not received directives from the World Bank to eliminate certain positions.
The ongoing internal staff review is led by the Africa CDC as part of a strategic reorganization designed to strengthen institutional efficiency, sustainability and collaboration with expanding continental mandate.
The above was previously reported to Devex, but it was not incorporated.
