About this event

In 2021 and 2022, the Government of Mexico, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) convened a series of workshops with experts from the Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC) region to identify opportunities to improve preparedness and response to health emergencies.

More than 200 experts participated in these workshops, focusing their discussions on the challenges and opportunities for increasing vaccine development and manufacturing in the region as a measure to promote equitable access to medical supplies.

The workshops resulted in the development of a draft Roadmap proposed by the co-organizers, which sets out six lines of action to strengthen the region's capacities in this area, including the creation or consolidation of regional mechanisms for epidemiological surveillance and participation in clinical trials; the promotion of investment in R&D and technology transfer; regulatory strengthening and convergence; and the sustainable financing of public goods for the region.

The side event aims to:

  • Address the challenges of one of the regions most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the unequal access to medical supplies;
  • Share recommendations included in the draft Roadmap;
  • Examine how the proposed actions for the LAC region are aligned with global
