PIP Partnership Contribution Annual Report 2015

Overview

Adopted in 2011, the Pandemic Influenza Preparedness (PIP) Framework aims to improve global detection, surveillance, and sharing of influenza viruses with pandemic potential, and to increase the availability of, and access to, vaccines and other important pandemic response products during influenza pandemics. The Framework includes a benefit-sharing mechanism called the Partnership Contribution (PC) that supports activities to build or strengthen preparedness capacities in developing countries.

Paid by influenza vaccine, diagnostic and pharmaceutical manufacturers that use GISRS, the PC is used in many ways to strengthen pandemic preparedness capacities in five different areas of work that were identified as critical to strengthening global influenza pandemic preparedness as outlined in the Partnership Contribution Implementation Plan 2013-2016. Progress against the implementation plan is reported each year, through the PC Annual Reports.
