The Pandemic Fund

Building Pandemic Resilient Health Systems through Collaboration and Innovation

Experts predict there is an over 50% chance that another pandemic of the magnitude of COVID-19 will hit us within the next 25 years. We engage the Café audience on topics including what types of investments are needed to get countries to the right level of preparedness, how to measure progress and impact, and how the Pandemic Fund is helping.

Tian Johnson is a queer African activist and founder of the African Alliance.

The Alliance seeks to advance rights-based programming to address the needs of intentionally underserved African communities. African Alliance achieves this by ensuring that affected communities are informed about their rights, have access to dignified health care, and have the agency and access to hold duty bearers accountable for the non-realisation of these rights.
