Mutual verification of vax certs in Singapore, African Union begins 23 May

Both markets put up a framework for digital recognition.

Singapore and the African Union (AU) launched a framework to verify digital COVID-19 vaccination certificates starting 23 May to allow seamless entry between the two countries.

In a joint statement, Ministry of Transport and African Union said fully inoculated travellers with digital vaccination certificates issued in the African Union through the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Trusted Travel (TT) and Trusted Vaccines (TV) platforms can upload and validate their certificates via the vaccination check portal or Singapore Arrival Card to verify their vaccination status.

Fully vaccinated travellers with digital COVID-19 vaccination certificates issued in Singapore can secure their vaccination passes on the AU TT and TV platforms.

AU’s TT ecosystem provides governments and eligible organisations access to a network of platforms for health credential issuance, border risk management, digital public health surveillance, and lab, clinical and vaccination registries.

The TT and TV platforms have been operational since last quarter of 2020 and have currently fully onboarded, or are finalising the onboarding of 21 African destinations including Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ghana, Namibia, Kenya and Rwanda. It also seeks to onboard all African countries in the next few months.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
