Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance is a public-private partnership committed to saving children's lives and protecting people's health by increasing equitable use of vaccines in lower-income countries.

Gavi brings together developing country and donor governments, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the World Bank, the vaccine industry, technical agencies, civil society, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and other private sector partners.

Gavi uses innovative finance mechanisms, including co-financing by recipient countries, to secure sustainable funding and adequate supply of quality vaccines.

Since 2000, Gavi has contributed to the immunisation of nearly 1 billion children and the prevention of more than 16.2 million future deaths.

  • International Finance Facility for Immunisation (IFFIm), a UK charity, which issues bonds in international capital markets to fund Gavi's programmes.


Gavi's Legal Department also provides legal advice on work continuing from the COVAX facility, which entailed a portfolio of agreements (and ensuing disputes) with over 150 governments and vaccine manufacturers, complex financing arrangements, the no-fault compensation programme and Humanitarian Buffer.
