Goals of the Compact

To develop a comprehensive four part agreement—the Compact—between states, the private sector and other stakeholders that will limit and control known, newly discovered or deliberately created infectious diseases:

Compact Core Mission I

Establish, maintain and monitor a shared international data and knowledge base for infectious diseases, including but not limited to biosurveillance information, relevant pharmaceutical data and suites of services and skills.

Compact Core Mission II

Establish, maintain and monitor a network of international basic science research centers that will support fundamental investigations into the pathophysiology of certain microbial threats to global health.

Compact Core Mission III

Expand capabilities for the production of vaccines and therapeutics expressly for emerging and reemerging infections

Compact Core Mission IV

Establish, maintain and monitor international standards of conduct as well as best laboratory and regulatory practices

Through the implementation of these four core missions, the Compact will minimize the impact of infectious diseases on national and international health, social and economic development and international security.
