January 2022

A New Paradigm is Needed for Financing the Pandemic Fund

June 2022
A new proposed Financial Intermediary Fund (FIF)for pandemic action, preparedness and response, hosted by the World Bank is expected to be launched in the last quarter of 2022. However, the World Bank's White Paper outlining how this PPR FIF will work reverts to an outmoded donor driven system that poses serious threats to the sustainability of the fund.
