We hope this research opens the door for informed discussions on the cost-effectiveness of treaty-making processes in global health, and beyond.

Despite high financial and political investments, the INB process has been slow, with missed deadlines and limited tangible outcomes, highlighting weaknesses that could impact confidence in future multilateral effort, including for protocols and planned COP

Inequities in Participation: LMICs face disproportionate financial and logistical challenges, limiting their ability to influence negotiations. Smaller delegations, often without permanent Geneva representation, face systemic barriers.

Opportunity Costs: While $201M represents just 0.63% of the annual cost of pandemic preparedness ($31.8B), we calculate this as equivalent 120M COVID19 vaccine doses or expanded the global healthcare workforce significantly (we detail what this would get you across globe)

Cost Analysis: The INB's total cost is estimated at $201M, with an additional $56M for amendments to the International Health Regulations, bringing the total to $257M.

🚨New Paper🚨 Ever wondered how much the #INB #Pandemictreaty @WHO might be costing, and is this a good use of money when pandemic preparedness resources are so limited? We did... so we set out to quantify it. Our findings our now out in @PLOSGPH tldr: at minimum $201M USD

This consolidation may streamline revenue pooling and allow for a more collective approach to addressing global health issues, increased earmarking, has the potential to sideline both collective goals and states' core activities.

We find that whilst multilateral actors and market diversity have been increasing since 2011, there has been market consolidation by @WorldBank at 37% of market share in 2021. This coincides with an increasing prevalence of earmarking of aid inflows to the multilateral system

Honoured to be named a Polio Gender Champion by @WHO_Polio. UK support has helped reduce polio cases by over 99%. But gender barriers mean vaccines still don’t reach everyone they can. To #endpolio we must recognise the vital role of women at all levels on health.
This #WorldPolioDay, we’re thrilled to welcome @AnnelieseDodds as a new Global Polio Eradication Initiative Gender Champion! Together, let’s shine a spotlight on the critical role women play in providing health care & ensuring every child is protected from polio. #EndPolio

@GlobalHlth5050 @WorldHealthSmt Hear hear. I raised this troubling trend in several #WHS2024 sessions. One we must confront. For a good summary of “declining trust” in women’s and diverse leadership see below. But even the headline is concerning insofar as it seems to blame women. https://t.co/iNGVIMERoH

Trust in women leaders is falling even as their numbers in high-ranking positions are rising. Why?
