This WHO article was co-authored by our director, Gavin Yamey. The article presents a five pillars framework to institutionalize investment-driven approaches to emerging infectious disease risk mitigation and to catalyse the transition to actionable prevention efforts:
- Strengthen the evidence base
- Scale up economically informed, tested and validated innovations
- Incentivize investments that mitigate risks
- Mobilize funding for such investments
- Collectively commit to treating emerging infectious disease prevention as a global public good
