Abstract

Although developed countries tend to rapidly adopt and maintain commitments to interventions to manage infectious diseases, global adoption and maintenance varies significantly and depends on resources. Different national policies and preferences aggregate to the overall global path. The ability of infectious diseases to travel across borders makes countries interdependent with respect to managing their risks, and national, regional, and global health leaders demand information that can help to support global coordination, strategy, planning, and resource development and allocation decisions. The Global Vaccine Action Plan identifies the need to develop investment cases to support vaccine finance decisions. Building on prior generic discussions of global disease management investment case concepts, we developed an outline of specific attributes for inclusion in investment cases. We engaged motivated stakeholders in a process to evaluate the proposed content for inclusion in investment cases for global management of infectious diseases in a consultation process. This paper reports on the final proposed content for investment cases and the insights from the stakeholder consultation process. © 2012 Thompson KM, et al.
