Pandemics are large disease outbreaks that affect several countries and pose major health, social, and economic risks. A quick-moving pathogen spreading across the globe has the potential to kill tens of millions of people, disrupt economies, and destabilize national security – just as COVID-19 has demonstrated. Climate change, urbanization, and the lack of water and sanitation are all factors that could contribute to fast-spreading, catastrophic outbreaks.</p><p>COVID-19 has unleashed a worldwide shock wave with severe health, economic and social consequences which will affect many countries for years to come. Pandemic preparedness and disease surveillance anchored in strong health systems that reach all people—especially the most vulnerable—are crucial to ensure better protection from major disease outbreaks. Ensuring and investing in preparedness before a crisis strikes saves lives and ultimately saves money.</p><p><strong>Global Preparedness Monitoring Board</strong></p><p>The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220528145345/https://apps.who.int/gpmb/index.html">Global Preparedness Monitoring Board</a> (GPMB) is an independent monitoring and accountability body co-convened by the World Bank and World Health Organization, created in response to recommendations by the UN Secretary General’s Global Health Crises Task Force in 2017.</p><p>Despite progress made since the West Africa Ebola crisis in 2014/15, GPMB’s 2020 report, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220528145345/https://apps.who.int/gpmb/assets/annual_report/2020/GPMB_2020_AR_EN_WEB.pdf"><i>A World in Disorder</i></a>,  notes how the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed a collective failure to take pandemic prevention, preparedness and response seriously and prioritize it accordingly.  GPMB warned that epidemic-prone diseases like Ebola, influenza and SARS were increasingly difficult to manage in the face of prolonged conflict, fragile states, and forced migration.</p><p><strong>Anti-Microbial Resistance</strong></p><p>Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR) also poses a significant and growing health and financial threat to countries at all income levels. AMR occurs when microbes (bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites) cannot be treated by medicines that were previously effective.

The program offers a flexible mechanism that makes resources available before a country accesses other funding sources or even when there is insufficient domestic funding. </p><p>Since inception in June 2020, the HEPR has supported more than 29 countries and regions with a total of over $100 million.</p><p>See more on the HEPR program <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220528145345/https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/health/brief/health-emergency-preparedness-and-response-hepr-umbrella-program">here</a>.</p><p><strong>Regional Disease Surveillance Systems (REDISSE)</strong></p><p>To enhance regional preparedness   the World Bank expanded IDA financing for the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220528145345/https://projects.worldbank.org/en/projects-operations/project-detail/P154807?lang=en">Regional Disease Surveillance Systems Enhancement</a> (REDISSE) Program.  The initiative is a series of projects to strengthen national, regional, and cross-sectoral capacity for integrated disease surveillance and response in 16 West and Central African countries.</p><p>The program has two objectives:</p><p>1.    to address systemic weaknesses within the animal and human health systems that hinder effective cross sectoral and cross border collaboration for disease surveillance and response, and;</p><p>2.    in the event of an eligible emergency, to provide immediate and effective response to said eligible emergency.</p><p>See more on REDISSE including its financing and recipient countries in the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220528145345/https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/pandemics#3">Results</a> section.</p><p><strong>Anti-Microbial Resistance</strong></p><p>Antimicrobials are drugs – such as antibiotics – that kill or control disease-causing microbes. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microbes mutate or adapt in ways that enable them to withstand antimicrobials, rendering treatments ineffective. AMR is dramatically accelerated by the over-use and misuse of antimicrobials, including antibiotics, in people and animals.</p><p>Without action, the death toll from AMR could rise even higher, to as many as 10 million deaths annually by 2050. The world’s poorest people --those living in low- and middle-income countries or in the increasing areas affected by fragility, conflict, and violence-- are especially vulnerable.</p><p>The World Bank’s 2019 report <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220528145345/https://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/430051570735014540/pdf/Pulling-Together-to-Beat-Superbugs-Knowledge-and-Implementation-Gaps-in-Addressing-Antimicrobial-Resistance.pdf"><i>Pulling Together to Beat Superbugs</i></a> found that AMR already causes 700,000 deaths per year.  We have also developed a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220528145345/https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/703711517234402168/pdf/123023-REVISED-PUBLIC-World-Bank-One-Health-Framework-2018.pdf"><i>One Health Operational Framework</i></a> to promote, strengthen and operationalize human, animal and environmental public health systems.</p><p>Unchecked, AMR will hamper progress towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, harm economies and negatively impact human capital. If countries don’t act to stop the rise of AMR, its economic impact is projected to rise to more than $1 trillion annually after 2030.</p><p>To help prevent this, the World Bank is including interventions that address AMR containment in its health investments in the developing world. Examples include the Africa CDC Regional Investment Financing Project which is supporting the establishment of Centers of Excellence in AMR, piloting a scorecard for AMR and an innovative approach for One Health. The REDISSE program (above) is also upgrading public health and veterinary laboratories to strengthen capacities and collaboration. Another example is  the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220528145345/https://projects.worldbank.org/en/projects-operations/project-detail/P147674">Regional Sahel Pastoralism Support Project</a> which  contains AMR mitigation activities. </p><p>For more information on AMR, please see <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220528145345/https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/health/brief/antimicrobial-resistance-amr">here</a>.</p><p><strong>Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention Regional Investment Financing Project (ACDCP)</strong></p><p>The World Bank’s <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220528145345/https://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/550521576292519493/Africa-Union-Ethiopia-and-Zambia-Africa-Centres-for-Disease-Control-and-Prevention-Regional-Investment-Financing-Project">Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention Regional Investment Financing Project</a> supports (with $250 million) Ethiopia, Zambia, and the African Union (AU) in combatting epidemics and advancing critical public health priorities.
