About the Learning Webinar Series
Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness, and Response
Convened by the Pandemic Fund in partnership with its Implementing Entities
This webinar series is a forum for countries, partners, and global health stakeholders to connect, learn, and strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response. Jointly guided by the Pandemic Fund Secretariat and its accredited partners (including multilateral development banks, UN agencies, and global health initiatives), the series draws on diverse expertise and on-the-ground experience to explore practical approaches to building resilient health systems. Each session turns implementation insights into shared knowledge—informing country action, policy dialogue, and future investments in global health security. The series builds on the webinar series convened in 2025.
