Our Network

The challenge of pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response demands collective global action and action requires advocates. That is why we came together to create Pandemic Action Network.

Launched in April 2020 by leaders in global health advocacy, crisis response, and communications, Pandemic Action Network is a robust partnership of over 400 diverse organizations aligned in a belief that every effort made in the fight against COVID-19 should leave a long-term legacy — one where humanity is better prepared to deal with outbreaks and prevent a deadly and costly pandemic from happening again.

We are advocates, communicators, strategists, campaigners, project managers, researchers, organizers, analysts, problem-solvers, business leaders, creatives, activists, and so much more.

The challenges are too big and too many for any one single stakeholder or sector, but together we will stay in the fight to end this crisis for everyone and prevent the next.

Our Mission

Pandemic Action Network drives collective action to ensure the world is prepared to respond to outbreaks and prevent the next pandemic.

We envision a world where every country is prepared to stop infectious disease outbreaks from becoming deadly and costly pandemics.

Our Partners

Pandemic Action Network was built on a core assumption: pandemics are too big, too numerous, and too complex for any one single stakeholder or sector to tackle alone. By design, the Network has a bias for action. When we build relationships across industries and translate insights into clear messaging and policy recommendations, we enable decision-makers to take actions that lead to more effective pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response efforts.

Our growing network of more than 400 partners from civil society to foundations to think tanks and the private sector, as well as governments, multilateral institutions, opinion leaders, and the media bring diverse expertise and perspectives to our shared goals. We drive consensus among partners without being consensus-driven — allowing us to be bold, opportunistic, and avoid lowest common denominator outcomes. Read our Conflict of Interest Policy to learn more about how we work with partners.

The Network is backed by an international team of global health policy, advocacy, and communications experts with experience working with civil society, national governments, international institutions, research institutes, the private sector, and beyond.
