Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) is supporting African Union Member States to conduct national surveys to determine the percentage of people who have antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Seventeen countries have completed or are currently conducting the first round of these surveys, and they have agreed to share their data to enable combined analysis. This project will employ a medical statistician to manage and analyse this complex multi-country COVID-19 survey data, advise country-level teams on survey design and analysis issues, and finalise the database so that it can be used for future research. The results of these time-critical analyses will be used to inform rapid response prevention planning, policy, and practice at country and continental level. In addition, the statistician will provide on-the-job training and mentoring to Africa CDC staff, strengthening institutional capacity to conduct statistical analyses and interpret findings. They will initially be employed for six months, but further funding will be identified to extend the duration of the post and to ensure sustainable strengthening of biostatistical capacity at Africa CDC.

非洲疾病控制与预防中心（非洲CDC）支持非洲联盟成员国进行全国调查，以确定对SARS-COV-2抗体的人的百分比，SARS-COV-2是导致COVID-19的病毒。十七个国家已经完成或目前正在进行这些调查的第一轮，他们同意共享数据以实现合并分析。该项目将采用医学统计学家来管理和分析这一复杂的多国Covid-19调查数据，向国家级别的调查设计和分析问题提供建议，并最终确定数据库，以便将其用于未来的研究。这些关键时期分析的结果将用于为预防响应的快速响应计划，政策和实践提供信息。此外，统计学家将向非洲疾病预防控制中心的员工提供在职培训和指导，增强机构进行统计分析和解释发现。他们最初将被雇用六个月，但将确定进一步的资金来延长职位的持续时间，并确保非洲疾病预防控制中心的生物统计能力的可持续增强。
