  • How the Landmark Pandemic Agreement Addresses Technology Transfer and Access to Pandemic Response Products

    May 21, 2025 by Alexandra Finch

    One of the core goals of the Pandemic Agreement is to tackle global disparities in access to vaccines, diagnostics, and treatments. A key part of this effort involves technology transfer—the sharing of know-how, intellectual property, and manufacturing capacity. To that end, the agreement introduces a set of obligations aimed at shifting from a charity-based model to an end-to-end ecosystem grounded in equity. This article examines how effectively the agreement addresses technology transfer—one of the most contested issues in the negotiations.

    May 12, 2025 by Evyn Papworth

Recognizing the vital role of care work and transforming care systems to change the unequal distribution of labor is critical to addressing the root causes of gender inequality.  The post Linking Feminist Foreign Policy and the Care Economy in Latin America: Bringing the Local to the Multilateral appeared first…
