WIPO’s COVID-19 Related Services and Support
The COVID-19 Response Package was approved by the WIPO member states in October 2021, and launched by the WIPO Director General Daren Tang as part of WIPO’s Program of Work and Budget 2022/23. Following the success of the COVID-19 Response Package, WIPO’s new Build Back Fund has been introduced as part of WIPO’s Program of Work and Budget 2024/25. The Build Back Fund ensures the seamless continuity of projects and activities launched under the COVID-19 Response Package, and will continue to address country-specific needs and priorities during the post-pandemic period.
