Research Prioritization for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence

As part of CPC Analytics’ work for the WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence, a CPC consultant worked with a team at WHO on the technical coordination and qualitative analysis for the Research Prioritization Exercise. This collaborative effort, involving surveys and consultations with an international, multi-disciplinary and multi sectoral group of international experts, identified key research priorities to enhance surveillance and decision-making during global health emergencies. The resulting Technical Brief, published by the WHO Hub, outlines the prioritization process and identified research priorities, aiming to stimulate innovation, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and improve global responses to epidemic and pandemic threats.

Governing Health Futures 2030

The joint Lancet and Financial Times Commission titled Growing up in a digital world: Governing health futures 2030 explored the convergence of digital health, artificial intelligence (AI), and other frontier technologies with universal health coverage (UHC) to support attainment of the third Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). CPC Analytics supported the Commission with policy research and data analysis over the two years of its research period from Octobre 2019 to December 2021 and contributed significantly to the report. It was publicly presented at the World Health Summit in Berlin on 25 October.

Analysis of Germany’s potential in the fight against neglected tropical diseases

The German Network against Neglected Tropical Diseases commissioned CPC Analytics to conduct a study on the status quo as well as future opportunities and drawbacks of an integrated strategy to combat neglected diseases. For that purpose, CPC Analytics 1) conducted expert interviews with NGOs, firms, and implementation agencies, 2) identified and analyzed relevant development assistance projects through the BMZ’s database, and 3) wrote a report on the findings. The study was eventually presented and discussed in various fora.

Conceptualizing Commercial Determinants of Health to counter Non-Communicable Diseases
Based on a working paper commissioned by the World Health Organization, CPC Analytics examined and conceptualized ‘commercial determinants of health’ as a unifying concept to capture and illustrate the dynamics between social processes, the power of the economic actors, and health. The findings and the concept were integrated into a peer-reviewed article in the Lancet. Link to the Study
