“…Not only recognising but financing the critical role of diverse scholarship and epistemologies and ensuring integrated research, policymaking and programming are key to enhancing the effectiveness and sustainability of interventions for peoples health and well-being. 5 IT'S ALL ABOUT CONTEXT: CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING The variability and specificity of contexts and their bearing on what will be most effective in health policymaking and programming are critical. Far too often, overly generalised approaches are adopted resulting in the development of guidelines, policies and programming by national governments and global health institutions, with limited concrete attention to how variability of contexts and local dynamics will impact the feasibility of implementation.…”

“…25 Others have expressed concern about the Pandemic Fund and its ambiguity-calling for clear, strategic guidance on what the Pandemic Fund will fund and linking the financing to a separate governance body. 26 There have also been criticisms of the lack of funding for fundamental health system components, and some have argued that the Pandemic Fund should seek to bolster healthcare workforces and access to healthcare as a means of comprehensively addressing public health threats. 27 Still, perhaps one of the most salient themes in these early critiques is the demonstrated need for financing to support the response to public health emergencies.…”

An early analysis of the World Bank’s Pandemic Fund: a new fund for pandemic prevention, preparedness and response

2023

In response to shortcomings in epidemic preparedness and response that were revealed by the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been numerous proposals for ways to improve preparedness and response financing. Included among these is the World Bank’s Pandemic Fund, formerly known as the Financial Intermediary Fund for Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness, and Response, which was launched in September 2022. This analysis piece examines the Pandemic Fund, where it fits into ongoing discussions surrounding financing for preparedness and response efforts and discusses emerging apprehensions about the new financing mechanism. Briefly, the Pandemic Fund is not the first time that the World Bank has hosted a financing mechanism to provide support for pandemic response. Notably the Pandemic Emergency Financing Facility (PEF)—which was launched in 2017 and closed in 2021—was criticised for generally failing to realise its potential. However, the Pandemic Fund seems to be addressing several of these critiques by placing a greater emphasis on prevention and preparedness financing, as opposed to response financing. Still, there is an important need for response funding mechanisms, and concerningly, the Pandemic Fund seems to support response efforts in name only. While it is clearly desirable to prepare for and prevent outbreaks for a multitude of reasons, it is also naive to assume that strengthening preparedness capacities will eliminate outbreaks and the need for response financing altogether. Accordingly, there is a need to complement this new financing mechanism with dedicated funding for responding to infectious disease outbreaks and to closely link this response financing with health security frameworks and instruments.

“…Los gobiernos deberían informar de forma transparente sobre la financiación de la investigación y el desarrollo, y condicionar la financiación pública a acuerdos que garanticen la transferencia de tecnología y la concesión voluntaria de licencias para asegurar una distribución equitativa. La coordinación nacional de la preparación para la pandemia debe ser supervisada por los jefes de estado y de gobierno, con una inversión nacional sostenida en salud pública y en los sistemas más amplios de protección sanitaria y social para la preparación y la respuesta, incluyendo políticas que aborden las desigualdades para proteger a los vulnerables (30) .…”
