Our Mission
Our goals are to enhance global efforts towards pandemic readiness, response and resilience to effectively deal with the biggest threats to health systems around the world.
Our Work
Our work focuses on capacity building and workforce development for pandemic response; data for public health impact, preparedness and response; and policy shaping. We provide technical assistance and support to help develop and implement local solutions.
