From the Executive Summary: "The COVID Global Accountability Platform [hyperlink] (COVID GAP) serves as an external, independent hub for tracking and catalyzing effective actions to meet and increase commitments to achieve the critical global COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] response goals. COVID GAP will curate multiple sources of data to analyze progress over time, including successes and opportunities for improvement; provide evidence-driven insights and actionable recommendations to accelerate progress globally; and drive collaborations among diverse public and private sector organizations and leaders, including national and regional leaders in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). COVID GAP is a joint initiative of Duke University [hyperlink] and COVID Collaborative [hyperlink]. This initial report describes our approach and presents our early findings[.]"
