What is APOC?

African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control

I think it's meant to be APAC - Asia PACific.

No, the African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control, a WHO program funded by the Gates Foundation that ran from 1995 to 2015, distributing over 100 million doses of ivermectin to treat river blindess.
