The Pandemic Influenza Preparedness (PIP) Framework is an international arrangement adopted in May 2011 by the 194 Member States of the World Health Organization. The Framework brings together Member States, industry and civil society to work together with WHO to ensure that the world is better prepared to respond to pandemic influenza. The PIP Framework is premised on two equally important public health objectives: 1) to ensure the sharing of influenza virus with human pandemic potential through GISRS, and 2) to promote the fair and equitable sharing to benefits, such as vaccines and antiviral medicines, that arise from such sharing. The Framework establishes two mechanisms to facilitate access to benefits: the Partnership Contribution (PC) and the Standard Material Transfer Agreement-2 (SMTA-2).
