Benefit Sharing System

The PIP Framework provides a structured and transparent system for sharing benefits arising from the sharing of viruses with pandemic potential.

The aims of the PIP Benefit Sharing System include:

• providing pandemic influenza surveillance and risk assessment, and early warning information to all countries;
• providing access to benefits such as vaccines and other pandemic supplies to countries lacking such access;
• prioritizing important benefits based on assessment of public health risk and need;
• building pandemic influenza preparedness and response capacity in developing countries through technical assistance, and transfer of technology, skills and knowledge.

Further information will be made available in due course.
