Summary

This article examines CEPI's role as a public-private partnership in accelerating vaccine development and ensuring equitable global access during epidemics. It analyzes the governance structures, funding mechanisms, and partnership models that shape how CEPI attempts to balance innovation incentives with equitable distribution goals. The piece explores tensions between commercial interests and public health imperatives in pandemic preparedness.

Key Points

  • CEPI was established to address market failures in vaccine development for epidemic-prone diseases, operating as a hybrid public-private partnership.
  • The article critically examines equity provisions in CEPI's partnership agreements and whether they effectively ensure access for low-income countries.
  • Governance and accountability mechanisms within CEPI are analyzed, including how decisions about vaccine prioritization and pricing are made.
  • The piece highlights structural challenges in balancing IP protections for commercial partners with commitments to affordable global vaccine access.
  • Lessons from CEPI's model have broader relevance for designing international coordination mechanisms for pandemic preparedness and health security.
