DRAFT PIP Framework Partnership Contribution Factors to consider

DRAFT PIP Framework Partnership Contribution: Factors to consider in selecting countries

Background Ø PIP Framework requires an annual contribution to WHO from influenza vaccine, diagnostic & pharmaceutical manufacturers that use WHO Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS) Ø PIP Framework specifies that Partnership Contribution (PC) is to be used for two purposes: § Inter-pandemic preparedness (70%) § Response activities in the event of a pandemic (30%) 2|

Advisory Group (AG) request “The method by which factors will be applied in the selection of countries to receive PC funds will be developed by WHO and shared with the AG at its next meeting in October. "* *Advisory Group Recommendations to the Director-General on Potential Uses of PIP Partnership Contribution Resources for Pandemic Preparedness and Response, 16 May 2012 3|

The PC allocations should l Take into account Framework principles including fairness, equity, public health risk and need of all Member States and the particular vulnerability of H 5 N 1 l Be evidence based and consider indicators adapted to the Framework such as IHR core capacity, income, health and epidemiology l Consider the critical foundation of epidemiological and laboratory surveillance l Take into account the modest amount of PC resources 4|

Goals Develop a method that: Ø Is simple so that the process can be easily understood Ø Is based on reliable and widely accepted information Ø Promotes the Principles of the PIP Framework 5|

Overview of the method for Risk and Needs Assessment (RNA) 1. As per PIP Framework recommendation, focus should be on: (i) developing Member States, (ii) IHR core capacity, (iii) needs for influenza surveillance; and (iv) H 5 N 1 vulnerability 2. Select factors to establish profiles of needs 3. Give weight to each factor 6|

From RNA to Implementation process Risk and Needs Assessment based on identified priorities Selection of the first cohort of countries based on • Profile of needs • Sustainability • Regional dynamics • Etc. Pool of countries in needs Work plan for 2 years 7|

Three factors to consider to assess Member States Ø Developing Country Status Ø Degree of development of laboratory/epidemiological surveillance system Ø Whether the country is affected by H 5 N 1 8|

Other uses of the Partnership contribution l For burden of diseases studies, risk communication and regulatory capacities, the approach will be adapted to the limited amount of PC resources. l A work plan will be developed for 3 years to ensure the best use possible of these limited resources – Taking into account investments already made by other donors on burden of disease studies – Finding synergy with other WHO activities on risk communication and regulatory capacity building 9|
