The Pandemic Influenza Preparedness (PIP) Framework Partnership Contribution was developed in consultation with stakeholders and published in April 2023. It sets out how the PIP Framework Partnership Contribution preparedness funds will be used and aims to improve global influenza pandemic preparedness by guiding capacity building activities over the next six years. The HLIP III has one overall outcome: to strengthen pandemic influenza preparedness through a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach that ensures a more equitable, fairer response by building stronger and resilient country capacities.
It is supported by four outputs:
- policy and plans that result in health systems prepared for pandemic influenza;
- laboratory capacity and resilient surveillance systems are maintained and strengthened through GISRS;
- strengthened community engagement, knowledge translation and infodemic management capacities for influenza; and
- strong regulatory systems and a common approach to timely and affordable access, allocation and deployment of pandemic influenza products that results in a more equitable response.
Each output has a corresponding set of deliverables, which are achieved through implementation of activities.
The recently released HLIP III monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework serves as an integral companion to the implementation plan. It facilitates technical implementation and monitoring by teams at WHO headquarters, regional offices, and at country offices, and provides a reference guide for all beneficiaries and stakeholders to understand how progress is measured against the HLIP III results hierarchy.
The framework includes multiple components to measure progress, performance and impact over time:
- milestones: activities or events that mark significant progress in achieving the deliverables
- indicators: quantitative measurement utilized to monitor progress towards achieving the outputs and outcome
- stories from the field: real-world experiences, captured through narratives and case studies
- mid-term review
- evaluation.
