PEF Visual Identity
The World Bank, with the support of Japan, Germany and the World Health Organization, has developed the Pandemic Emergency Financing Facility (PEF), a quick-disbursing financing mechanism that provides a surge of funds to enable a rapid and effective response to a large-scale disease outbreak. Eligible countries can receive timely, predictable, and coordinated surge financing if affected by an outbreak that meets PEF’s activation criteria. The PEF breaks new ground by providing the first-ever insurance for pandemic risk, offering coverage to all low-income countries eligible for financing under IDA. The PEF is an essential part of the World Bank’s overall commitment to helping countries be better prepared for, and able to respond to, pandemics as well as our ability to handle the next pandemic on a global level.
