CLOSED | Public Consultation on the Pandemic Fund’s Draft Medium-term Strategic Plan

Announcement | April 12, 2024

NOW CLOSED

Following the recent Stocktaking Review, the Pandemic Fund has prepared a Strategic Plan to define its impact ambition and guide its funding priorities for the medium term (2024-2029). Through the Strategic Plan, the Pandemic Fund describes its path forward as it focuses its resources to support and reinforce capacity building and implementation of pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response (PPR) under the International Health Regulations (2005) and other internationally endorsed legal frameworks, consistent with a One Health approach, working in close collaboration with partner organizations.

Central to the Pandemic Fund's vision is a world where communities are protected from future pandemics, and active engagement of diverse groups is critical for effective, inclusive, and sustainable pandemic PPR. The draft Strategic Plan has already benefited from extensive consultations and inputs gathered from over 400 stakeholders, including Governing Board members and their constituencies, co-investor countries, Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) members, Implementing Entities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), community and civil society representatives, academia, research and training institutions, multisectoral stakeholders (ministries of health, livestock, agriculture, finance, and others), and the private sector through an open survey, workshops, focus group discussions, and interviews carried out over the past 5 months. The Pandemic Fund now seeks further comments and feedback on this document, as it is refined.

The document will be open for public comment for a two-week period, until 8:00am ET on Monday, April 29, 2024. When providing feedback, please direct comments to: pandemic_fund_consultations@worldbank.org and explicitly indicate to which section of the draft your feedback pertains (e.g., Section 2.2 - Description of Programmatic Priorities). Note that written responses to feedback will not be provided by the Secretariat or the Strategy Committee and, while all comments will be reviewed, not all perspectives may be incorporated into the final Strategic Plan.

To help ensure transparency and accountability of the consultation process, all feedback received will be made publicly available on this page, unless there is a specific request to keep it confidential.

Please find the draft Strategic Plan here.
