Some comments received during the public consultation highlighted possible differences in understanding of the meaning of a broader public good and the challenges of accomplishing this in the presence of commercial and self-interests. In the early days of an emergency, it will likely be government representatives who are signing agreements to transfer materials. Governments will likely be unable – and unwilling – to negotiate commercial terms that apply to future, potentially unknown, commercial actors. Furthermore, there aren’t necessarily existing researchers/manufacturers working with the pathogen of concern with which to negotiate, or any established marketplace for countermeasures that can be used to inform the value of any potential benefits. As a result, even if potential manufacturers are identified and engaged in the negotiations, they’re unlikely to have a good understanding of their chances of success in developing a countermeasure, their capacity to produce such a product, what the value of that product might be, etc. The tool is intended for use prior to a public health emergency to build relevant human capacity – not to develop an MTA during such an outbreak.

There have been attempts to develop model MTAs for use during public health emergencies. For an example of such an approach see the MTA developed by the Global Health Security Initiative: ADD LINK Purpose of this tool‌ WHO is constructing a tool to help build human capacity to develop material transfer agreements (MTAs) governing biological samples and associated data connected to severe emerging diseases with potential to generate a public health emergency, and for which no, or insufficient, preventive and curative solutions exist.

It is part of broader efforts to build human capacity to manage sample sharing in a manner that ensures the full public health potential of valuable biological material is realized for rapid detection of, and response to public health emergencies. The tool is intended to build the human ca...
