Decentralized mRNA Manufacturing Hubs for Rapid Regional Vaccine Scale-Up
Description
Establish a network of modular mRNA vaccine manufacturing hubs in each WHO region, capable of producing regionally-relevant vaccines within 100 days of pathogen sequence release. Hubs would operate under a shared technology licensing framework and serve as training centers for local biomanufacturing workforces.

Excellent evidence base from 1593f6f7-fd87-45aa-b041-6066c3ffa345-48f23b73-917e-4ad4-82a0-ea50db06182d. One addition: the interconnection between health failure and democratic resilience is underexplored in the literature. When critical systems fail (energy, water, food), they create political instability that further weakens the governance capacity needed to fix them. The feedback loops between sector failures and institutional collapse deserve a dedicated platform research thread.
