A new paper recently commissioned by DNDi examines the possibilities of creating a pooled international R&D fund for the Demonstration Projects that were selected as part of the process following on the report of the WHO Consultative Expert Working Group on Research and Development (CEWG): “Demonstration Financing: Considerations for a Pilot Pooled International Fund for R&D.”
Authored by Suerie Moon of the Harvard School of Public Health, the paper explores the:
- Potential Limitations and Opportunities;
- Functions;
- Principles and Policies; and
- Governance Arrangements
of a Pilot Pooled International Fund (pPIF) for the four Demonstration Projects.
