A new research paper recently published by the AFD (Agence Française de Développement) examines how DNDi, a distinctive Product Development Partnership (PDP), can illustrate what can be presented as a “commons” in the area of public health.
The paper explores:
- the emergence of PDPs and the relevance of the commons approach
- DNDi’s promotion of collaborative platforms and open innovation
- DNDi’s innovative intellectual property rights policy
- DNDi’s governance, partnership, and funding mechanisms
- the implications of DNDi’s shift from “neglected diseases” to “neglected people”
