GAVI’s Future: Steps to Build Strategic Leadership, Financial Sustainability, and Better Partnerships

On June 13, the GAVI Alliance will hold its first pledging conference, seeking to obtain commitments for US$ 3.7 billion for the 2011–15 period. Remarkably, in the midst of a historic global recession, the GAVI replenishment is set to achieve its ambitious fundraising target. GAVI’s success reflects the strength of its mission and supporting evidence base, its global champions, its innovative financing and partnership model, and its clarified messaging in recent months. In the lead up to the meeting, GAVI has also delivered vaccine manufacturer commitment to significantly lower prices for rotavirus and HPV vaccines and increased transparency on vaccine prices via its partner UNICEF.
