Advancing the global health agenda with the Paris Peace Forum

The Paris Peace Forum will host a series of discussions to maintain the partnership developed by ACT-A (Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator) and the governance of global health at the top of the political agenda and further deliver concrete solutions while contributing to the construction of an overall governance framework in the sector.

The proposal includes hosting discussions taking place in the framework of a pilot, year-long partnership between the Forum and Wellcome Trust. These discussions would mobilize stakeholders of the Forum’s community and beyond.

The Forum would naturally seek Wellcome’s guidance and advice on the scope, topics, invitees, and outputs of these discussions.

Stakeholders would be invited to participate in each discussion based on their institutional focus and expertise and on the basis of their capacity to contribute to and implement the desired outcomes.

With the support provided by the Wellcome Trust, the Forum could convene two roundtables in 2021, to provide for sufficient time for preparation, eventually for follow-up actions in between and potentially to leverage to key moments in the annual Forum cycle: the Spring meetings of the Paris Peace Forum (May 2021) and the fourth edition of the annual event (11-13 November, 2021).
