The Race to Future-Proof Coronavirus Vaccines
To help humanity get ahead, we need vaccines that provide broad protection against new variants of COVID-19 as well as future coronavirus threats.
Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning
Our 2022-2026 strategy, CEPI 2.0, is supported by three strategic objectives: PREPARE, TRANSFORM and CONNECT.
We monitor and evaluate progress against expected outcomes and outputs for each strategic objective and use these findings to improve our strategy and operations.
Each year, CEPI tracks progress of its accomplishments alongside the new projects and partnerships launched to ensure we remain on track to meet our goals.
All Annual Progress Reports and other independent reviews of our work, such as the independent evaluation of our first five-year strategy, are available on our website.
As we are half-way through CEPI 2.0, we have launched a Mid-Term Review to take stock of the overall progress made since the strategy launched. This includes looking at our goals and objectives, achieved or expected results and the performance of our governance & management bodies.
The Mid-Term Review allows us to identify areas where we need to reinforce or refine efforts for the remainder of the strategic period.
A consortium of independent external evaluators is leading the review, overseen by an independent evaluation committee.
Further details will be shared in the coming months.
