COVAX mechanisms: vaccine dose sharing from national stockpile & advance market commitment (AMC)

Map of the Month 08/2021

The COVAX facility, co-led by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), Gavi, and the World Health Organization (WHO), consists of several parallel mechanisms to increase rapid, fair, and equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines across the world. The Map of the Month of August visualizes the donor countries' contributions to two different structures via which the COVAX initiative obtains and distributes vaccines to the eligible 92 low- and middle-income economies. While COVAX allows for dose sharing from a donor country's existing national supply, the COVAX Advance Market Commitment (AMC) mechanism raised funds from high- and low-income countries and worked with pharmaceutical partners before successful vaccine development and continues to pool financial resources so that doses can be produced and procured at scale as soon as vaccines receive regulatory approval.

Joint Statements on Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Tibet and further votes at 47th UN Human Rights Council

Map of the Month 07/2021

The 47th UN Human Rights Council met in Geneva from June 21 to July 14, 2021, marking its 15th anniversary. Important joint statements were made, among other things, on the human rights situation in Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Tibet or on the role of democracies. There were votes, among other things, on the human rights situation in the Ethiopian region of Tigray or on the question of whether the Council may discuss the situation of a country without its presence.

Host countries and countries of origin of forcibly displaced people 2020

Map of the Month 06/2021

At the end of 2020 82.4 Mio. people were forcibly displaced, which is more than 1% of humanity, double the figure a decade ago and almost 3 Mio. more than in 2019 - besides the border closure in more than 160 countries. With 58,3%, the amount of Internally Displaced People (IDPs) climbed a new record high. The dynamics of protracted conflicts, the effects of climate change as well as COVID-19 are increasingly interconnected and mutually reinforcing in driving displacement.

Global conceptualisation of and advocacy for an international "Pandemic Treaty"

Map of the Month 05/2021

This month, at the World Health Assembly (WHA) in May, 59 countries proposed hosting a special WHA session in November 2021 dedicated to the pandemic treaty. Already back in April 2020, Chile first put forward the idea of a pandemic treaty, which was taken up by EU Council President Charles Michel in December 2020. At the end of March 2021, 24 heads of state and government issued a call for support for the idea.
