By affirming itself as a leading research centre in global health worldwide, the GHC broadens understanding, contributes to setting agendas and fosters inclusive partnerships. The Governing Pandemics Initiative is tracking efforts to address major gaps exposed by COVID-19 in the global system for governing preparedness for and responses to pandemics. It provides information on six issues that have been identified as requiring reform and on the proposed pandemic treaty, summarising for each of them: the main problems, pre-COVID-19 reforms, 2021 recommendations by major international panels, and ongoing policy debates. This project aims to provide resources and tool to a wide range of stakeholders concerned about building a more equitable and effective global system for governing potential pandemics. Regular updates will be provided as efforts progress.
