Pandemic-Aid Networks is a global collaborative network of groups and organizations that focus on pandemic preparedness, prevention and response (PPPR).
We help connect organizations with other organizations, experts or (expert-)advocates, resources and expertise that they may not have otherwise. This helps catalyze transformation in their organization and/or projects.
Our goal is to bring organizations together in a way that, ideally, they would be able to help each other. Oftentimes, multiple organizations work on the same or similar topics and/or projects. Therefore, their knowledge and resources may overlap. By facilitating resource and knowledge exchange we prevent duplication of effort, hereby saving time, resources and oftentimes also costs.
A big focus of us lies on science and research. Many community groups, non-profit organizations, and advocates focus on topics that have a scientific aspect. We help to provide organizations with either internal or external scientific expertise and help them get a proper understanding of the topic that they’re focusing on.
We also connect organizations, groups and individuals to scientists and researchers that may be able to directly support their projects and/or actions.
Often organizations and advocates are working in very difficult and/or challenging fields, which can weigh heavy on those that do the work. Past experiences have shown us that having a network of like-minded individuals that work on similarly difficult and/or challenging topics can provide a type of peer support that can be incredibly valuable for the organizations and individuals that are working in the field.
Being in direct contact with community groups and individuals can provide a unique community perspective that can shape future research directions. This has already led to multiple collaborative research projects and scientific publications.
