This proposed Resource Allocation Framework may inform country-level allocation decisions by the Pandemic Fund for its first call for proposals supporting surveillance, laboratories, and human resources. This framework incorporates three measures of pandemic risk and one index of need for surveillance capacity for an overall allocation index.
At CGD, we have been closely watching the development of the new Pandemic Fund which aims to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response (PPR) capabilities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The Pandemic Fund recently published a Results Framework to guide project-level monitoring, evaluation, and learning efforts. The framework is a clear indication of its commitment to ensuring the effectiveness of the Fund’s interventions.
