A new blog published on the Wilson Center’s New Security Beat by HP+’s Dara Carr -- Reducing the Risk of Pandemic Disease Threats Through Multisectoral Action -- looks past our current “war time” footing on COVID-19 to the importance of sustaining and strengthening multisectoral collaboration to address future shocks. She discusses barriers to multisectoral collaboration and makes the case that existing policy assessment and advocacy approaches, including evidence-generating policy models, can be readily adapted to help address these barriers. The blog is part of a series edited by HP+’s deputy director for family planning, Jay Gribble, titled A Multisectoral Endeavor Called Health. The series examines the benefits of multisectoral actions in responding to the complex environment in which we live and explores the interrelationships between health and other sectors. Other topics in the series discuss the need for multisectoral collaboration to achieve health outcomes; the link between the health and nutrition sectors; the need for a creative and flexible policy and financing environment for effective planning across sectors.
