Contexte
The Plasma4Life Knowledge Partners Advisory Panel (KPAP) First Meeting will mark the formal establishment of a strategic advisory mechanism under the Plasma4Life initiative convened by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). The initiative will seek to strengthen global collaboration across the plasma ecosystem, with a focus on improving equitable access to plasma-derived medicinal products and advancing sustainable, ethical, and evidence-based health systems.
As Plasma4Life expands geographically, diversifies its partnerships, and develops more complex programming, the need for a structured governance and consultation framework will become increasingly evident. The establishment of KPAP will respond to this need by creating a formal platform for strategic dialogue with key partners from industry, patient organisations, and technical stakeholders. The meeting will represent the first step in operationalising this advisory structure and will set the foundation for long-term, coordinated engagement.
Contenu et structure
The meeting will be organised as a structured, multi-item advisory session combining presentations, strategic discussions, and interactive exchange. It will follow a formal agenda designed to support clarity of mandate and shared ownership of the initiative.
Key components will include:
– Opening remarks and introductions, including framing by UNITAR;
– Presentation of the KPAP mandate, Terms of Reference, and operational modalities;
– Strategic presentation of the updated Plasma4Life Vision and Mission;
– Discussion of 2026 strategic priorities, including expansion, knowledge systems, and education;
– Clarification of governance architecture, particularly the distinction between KPAP and the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC);
– Dialogue on partner engagement models and value creation within the initiative;
– Closing reflections and next steps.
Across these elements, key themes will include:
– Strengthening global health systems through capacity development and knowledge exchange;
– Building sustainable and inclusive governance structures for multi-stakeholder health initiatives;
– Enhancing equitable access to plasma-derived medicinal products;
– Advancing structured partner engagement and long-term collaboration;
– Aligning scientific, patient, industry, and policy perspectives within a unified strategic framework;
– Expanding the role of regional networks and the CIFAL system in localising impact.
Méthodologie
The meeting will adopt a structured advisory and consultative format designed to facilitate strategic alignment and co-creation. It will combine formal presentations with interactive dialogue to ensure clarity of mandate while enabling substantive partner input.
The methodology will include:
– Opening framing and contextualisation by UNITAR;
– Structured presentation of governance documents (Terms of Reference, Vision, strategic priorities);
– Facilitated discussion segments allowing members to provide feedback and strategic input;
– Clarification sessions on governance roles and advisory structures;
– Participatory dialogue on partner engagement mechanisms and value creation;
– Synthesis of key points to inform the operationalisation of KPAP.
This approach will prioritise transparency, shared understanding, and the establishment of a consistent advisory framework for future engagement.
Audience cible
The meeting will bring together a curated group of strategic knowledge partners representing key segments of the global plasma and health ecosystem, including:
– Industry and donor organisations engaged in plasma-derived medicinal products;
– International patient organisations representing affected communities;
– Scientific, technical, and policy experts in plasma systems and public health;
– Representatives from global health and regulatory networks;
– UNITAR programme and partnership stakeholders.
This multi-stakeholder composition will ensure that the Advisory Panel reflects diverse perspectives across science, policy, industry, and patient advocacy, enabling balanced and informed guidance for the Plasma4Life initiative.
