These are challenging times for Africa, and, like the rest of the world, the continent is fighting to recover from the pandemic.
But there are ways of helping to ensure that Africa comes back stronger than ever.
As of 24 May, 54 countries in Africa had recorded more than 100,000 Covid-19 cases and over 3,000 deaths.
Economies and livelihoods have been heavily affected as the demand for Africa's commodities has fallen and tourism has declined sharply.
Already, the price of oil, which accounts for 40% of Africa's exports and 7.4% of GDP, has declined by half, sharply reducing revenues for countries like Nigeria and Angola.
