Abstract:	Amid the chaos that COVID 19 was causing, several actors created a partnership to try to lessen the impact of the pandemic. The COVAX Facility was meant to be a mechanism for global equitable access to vaccines. With ambitious goals and promises, it relied a lot on the solidarity and cooperation between countries. This policy paper intends to understand the need for the international community in providing Global Public Health, to analyze the weaknesses and strengths of COVAX, and also, to offer recommendation on how to improve it. This was done through the analysis of about 53 materials, including policy and academic papers, reports, databases and journalistic sources. After revaluating the creation and development of COVAX, some flaws were found in its structure and implementation. Some of the main issues were allocation frameworks, transparency, solidarity framing, funding, accessibility, nationalism, and a restricted manufacturing base. These and other issues were addressed in the last chapter with the final recommendations. Despite it being aimed at COVAX's coordinators, it can also be used by other organizations and partnerships that want to have a base for other Global Public Health initiative.
