GPMB Monitoring Framework for Preparedness

Overview

Global preparedness is more than the sum of national preparedness; this concept is of central importance to the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board (GPMB) Monitoring Framework. While many existing monitoring initiatives focus on health emergency preparedness at the national level, the GPMB Monitoring Framework is intended to provide a risk-calibrated assessment of where the world stands in relation to pandemic preparedness.

The evidence gathered from implementing the Framework will support the Board’s assessment and reporting on risks, preparedness and impact. It will also support the GPMB’s high-level advocacy by providing relevant data to inform messaging.

The Monitoring Framework will evolve over time, as new risks are identified and new knowledge on measures to strengthen prevention, preparedness and resilience emerges, to ensure it continues to capture the most impactful, predictive and actionable indicators.
