New publication documents takeaways from recent program with the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding
Earlier this year, Salzburg Global Seminar partnered with Dartmouth College's John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding to host "Better Preparedness for the Next Pandemic: Developing Vaccine Access Models with Low- and Middle-Income Countries."
During the five-day program, participants discussed how to design a new model for multilateral vaccine procurement and the individual actions that could be taken.
This meeting convened senior representatives of health ministries, heads of procurement, health care practitioners, policymakers, and researchers from Africa, alongside modelers, funders, and pharmaceutical company executives.
The goal was to gain a deep understanding of needs, constraints, and operational realities from the end users of any designed multilateral procurement/advanced purchase mechanism.
Today, on the first anniversary of the World Health Organization declaring an end to COVID-19 as a global health emergency, we are pleased to share a summary of this program's proceedings.
This eight-page document introduces the Pandemic Security Project, the circumstances that led to its convening at Schloss Leopoldskron, and the takeaways from the participants' conversations.
In addition to these proceedings, we invite you to review newsletters published during the program (Issue 1 and Issue 2) and view photos on Facebook and Flickr.
If you want to learn more about this program or help us share these materials, please email John Lotherington, who served as the director for this program.
