GAVI – The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations
Member profile
The GAVI Alliance (formerly the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation) is a global health partnership of public and private sector organizations dedicated to “immunisation for all”. It provides a unique opportunity for a wide-range of partners to build consensus around policies, strategies, and priorities and to recommend responsibility of implementation to the partner with the most experience and insight in the area. GAVI has developed innovative approaches to international health and development.
Main activities
GAVI’s strategy supports its mission to save children’s lives and protect people’s health by increasing access to immunisation in poor countries. It contributes to achieving the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals by focusing on performance, outcomes and results. Its partners provide funding for vaccines and intellectual resources for care advancement. They contribute, also, to strengthening the capacity of the health system to deliver immunisation and other health services in a sustainable manner.
Links to the health workforce crisis
Since 2007 GAVI has been funding new Health System Strengthening (HSS) programs that encourage and enable countries to identify infrastructure and resource weaknesses that are barriers to the achievement of immunisation and other public health goals. They ensure that trained professionals are given the tools they need to give proper care to those who need it the most.
