ethical framework analysis

An exploration of responsive ethical frameworks to offer an understanding of national responsibility in global health governance, anchored in global access to COVID-19 vaccines

policy mapping

A mapping of Canada's policy-based engagement in vaccine nationalism, situated in the Ideas, Institutions, and Interest framework.

Using the systematic equity analysis framework to contextualize Canada's policy trajectory with policy milestones set by global institutions (eg. World Trade Organization, World Health Organization and etc) over the course of the pandemic.

Four cycles of inter-sectoral, future-facing conversations to re-imagine what can and should inform global solutions to the COVID-19 pandemic (and beyond).

Each Dialogue is informed by findings from the knowledge syntheses and previous cycles of dialogue. The broad groups of stakeholders for each cycle of dialogues are as follows:

1) SCHOLARS, LEADERS, HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, NGOs
How do existing political philosophies and ethical and human rights frameworks respond to issues of power, specifically in the context of vaccine nationalism?

2) NATIONAL ACTORS: CANADA, LMIC PARTNERS, GLOBAL HEALTH GROUPS
What might ethically-coherent governance approaches to vaccine equity look like? How might they relate to the other global health issues?

3) VACCINE EQUITY ACTORS, GLOBAL NGOS
How might ethically-coherent governance approaches to vaccine equity fit into existing global governance mechanisms?

4) INTERNATIONAL GOVERNANCE ACTORS, GLOBAL MULTILATERALS
What do these dialogues imply? How do they inform recommendations for ethically-coherent governance? How will we translate this knowledge to further vaccine equity?
