Please note that this event will take place in person on July 9th in South Africa.
The global policy community has an opportunity to strengthen Pandemic Preparedness and Response (PPR) while the memory of the pandemic is still recent. Yet raising policy interest in, and financing for PPR remains a challenge amidst competing and urgent policy demands, including rising inflation and debt.
What’s more, PPR financing and spending requires effective tracking and measuring and must hold stakeholders accountable. But the multisectoral, multi-disciplinary, and the complex nature of PPR makes tracking and measuring PPR financing challenging, if not impossible.
This roundtable brings together experts in health accounts, health policy, and public health to identify activities and investments to improve PPR and identify a practical way to systematically or selectively track and measure PPR spending, in order to chart a way forward for PPR policy and financing.
Location: Room 2.41-2.42, Cape Town International Convention Centre, 2 Lower Loop St, Cape Town, 8001, South Africa
