The paper analyses the international community's response to the Covid-19 pandemic crisis. Faced with the inability to foresee, prepare for and respond effectively to pandemics, it is necessary to propose effective solutions in order to prepared for upcoming health and social emergencies.

The report contains testimonies from the field and an examination of the tools that need to be strongly supported, from the role of the WHO as the coordinating organisation of the global health architecture to the refinancing of the Global Fund, the main multilateral donor for strengthening health and community systems, and committed to the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
