Clearly there is lots to be learned from the response to the Covid pandemic so it is good to have post mortem thinking in that regard. I understand the red teaming concept and can see its benefits with a challenge like a pandemic, but hopefully it is not going to be further bureaucracy creep. Is there something that could be "replaced" in the WHO to take this on rather than more expansion?.
Also, what is the WHO doing with respect to the bird flu situation?
To scale five proven innovations from 1M to 100M people, leadership must solve three high-priority, short-term problems that determine success or failure.
🔧 1. Capacity Gaps & Pilot Inconsistency
Scaling fails when pilot sites lack tools or trained personnel. DFY (Done-For-You) turnkey kits—co-developed with local suppliers and youth brigades—ensure consistency, agility, and relevance across diverse settings. Corporate enablers like HR, finance, and procurement must streamline onboarding and local vendor engagement.
Lack of trust and unclear governance structures block momentum. Co-created governance models, paired with real-time compliance dashboards and citizen scorecards, strengthen institutional confidence and multilateral alignment. IT and legal teams should lead dashboard integration and policy harmonization.
🔐 3. Data Protection Risks
Without consent protocols, community trust breaks down. Rights-based oversight, youth-led design input, and multilingual tools help embed privacy into UX. Formalizing local Data Steward networks ensures community ownership and legal compliance.
🌱 Cross-Cutting Levers
Youth4Climate leadership, inclusive dashboards, local procurement reform, and community contracting add scalability, equity, and innovation.
✅ The path to 100M impact isn’t just digital—it’s people-first, procurement-smart, and trust-led. Scaling must start with systems that serve everyone.
"...the WHO has faced criticism on several fronts—from not emphasizing airborne transmission early on to not adequately investigating the origins of COVID-19"
Tedros emphasised the airborne nature of SARS2 very clearly on the 11th February 2020. He could not have been any clearer!
Why do people not acknowledge the scandal of airborne denial when they knew it was airborne? Why say it was a "slow to recognise early on" issue rather than a lie and deliberate disinformation?
