Providing collective solutions to global pandemics requires the coordination of information that is accurate and accountable. In recent years there has been a global push for reliable pandemic preparedness indicators. This push has come from U.S. foreign policy, the World Health Organization (WHO), NGOs, and private foundations. These actors want control over how data for preparedness indicators is collected, analysed, and promoted. Governments want to influence how they are assessed, using poor performance to attract attention and good performance to deflect blame. In this article we discuss how the push for pandemic preparedness indicators comes from the dual aims of repelling national risk, the spread of disease, while reducing global harm through stronger transnational governance arrangements. We delve into the development of indicators from the WHO and the privately-run Global Health Security Index, and examine how their claims to authority measure-up against standards of transparency, veracity, and accountability. We stress the importance of understanding how these indicators are composed. This is vital given the current drive to include social and governance metrics in revised efforts at data collection, as well as efforts to include pandemic preparedness indicators in how intergovernmental organizations, NGOs, donors, and funders devise health and development policies.

管理和衡量卫生安全:全球推动大流行防范指标

为全球流行病提供集体解决方案需要协调准确和负责的信息。近年来,全球都在推动可靠的大流行防范指标。这种推动来自美国外交政策、世界卫生组织 (WHO)、非政府组织和私人基金会。这些参与者希望控制如何收集、分析和推广准备指标的数据。政府希望影响他们的评估方式,用糟糕的表现来吸引注意力,用良好的表现来转移责任。在本文中,我们讨论了推动大流行防范指标的双重目标如何来自于抵御国家风险和疾病传播,同时通过更强有力的跨国治理安排来减少全球危害。我们深入研究了 WHO 和私营全球健康安全指数指标的发展,并研究了他们对权威的要求如何与透明度、真实性和问责制标准进行衡量。我们强调了解这些指标如何构成的重要性。鉴于当前推动将社会和治理指标纳入修订数据收集工作的努力,以及将大流行防范指标纳入政府间组织、非政府组织、捐助者和资助者如何制定卫生和发展政策的努力,这一点至关重要。
