Technology transfer in practice: implications for Pandemic Agreement negotiations: interviews with Ellen 't Hoen, Ravi Ganapathy, Ike James and Martin Friede
This publication was prepared as part of the lead-up to the 27 January 2025 workshop, "Technology Transfer in Practice: Implications for Pandemic Agreement Negotiations," organized by the Global Health Centre (GHC), in partnership with the Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the United Nations Office and other International Organizations in Geneva, and the Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the United Nations Office and other International Organizations in Geneva. This workshop aims to foster a deeper understanding of how technology transfer operates in practice and to explore its potential implications for the Pandemic Agreement negotiations. To enhance the discussion and prepare for the event, GHC staff members interviewed the expert speakers invited to the workshop. Their responses have been captured in writing and are included in this document. Additionally, Suerie Moon, Co-Director of the Global Health Centre, has contributed by drafting a synthesis highlighting the implications of the workshop discussions for the negotiations of the WHO Pandemic Agreement.
