From: Erika Whittome
Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,
I understand that the Minister of Research, Science and Innovation now comes under MBIE.
I request information on Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations—or CEPI.
On 22 Mar 2022 , the Hansard in Parliament records:
Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Minister of Research, Science and Innovation) (remote): Yesterday, along with Minister Verrall, we announced New Zealand’s continued support of global vaccine development through a further $10 million pledge to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations—or CEPI. CEPI plays a critical role in supporting the global scientific community and it was a major contributor to the development of most of the vaccines available for COVID-19 today. New Zealand’s continued membership of CEPI, and the participation of our researchers and innovators in its network, significantly improves our ability to respond to this and any future epidemics.
Would you please share all the pledges and payment amounts to CEPI from 2022 until the current date?
Yours faithfully,
Erika Whittome
