  2. Criteria for evaluation of R&D Financing and Coordination Mechanisms • public health impact in developing countries • rational and equitable use of resources/efficiency considerations • cost-effectiveness • technical feasibility, scaling-up potential, replicability, speed of implementation • financial feasibility and sustainability • additionality • intellectual property management issues • potential for de-linking research and development costs and the price of products • equity/distributive effect, including availability and affordability and impact on access and delivery • accountability/participation in governance and decision-making • impact on capacity building in, and transfer of technology to, developing countries • potential synergy with other mechanisms/potential for combining with others.

  3. Criteria for evaluation of R&D Financing and Coordination Mechanisms:Example for milestone and end prizes:

  7. Preliminary summary of assessments 4/4 Some Preliminary Recommendations: • CEWG intends to recommend strengthening global financing and coordination mechanisms for R&D for health needs of developing countries under the auspices of WHO • CEWG intends to recommend that formal intergovernmental negotiations begin for a binding global instrument for R&D and innovation for health

  8.
