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. The Vaccine Alliance brings together implementing country and donor governments, the World Health Organisation, 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 more than 981 million children and the prevention of more than 16 million future deaths.

**BACKGROUND**
Over the past years, the crisis created by the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be felt. In countries with already fragile health systems, this has had a catastrophic impact. Through the ground-breaking COVAX Facility and the COVAX Advance Market Commitment (AMC), Gavi is working with the international community to take urgent action in accelerating a COVID-19 vaccine and ensure it becomes available to populations no matter where they live. This is the moment where more resources from diverse and sustainable sources are required, and that available financing must be leveraged strategically and efficiently to unlock the greatest level of impact possible. What is needed now is a comprehensive approach to attract, retain, and multiply the financial and business resources of the private sector, and catalyse transformative innovations to strategically support countries, partners, and the Gavi secretariat as it seeks to ensure sustainability in its ambitious immunisation programmes and safeguard global health security.

The RMPSPIF department supports the Alliance by ensuring sustainable donor financing and enhanced resource innovation. This includes (i) securing donor pledges delivered in Berlin and deepening relationships with existing donors while helping to elevate Gavi and immunisation on global agendas, (ii) diversifying Gavi’s financing base to include new and emerging donors, development institutions, regional banks, and the private sector (iii) bringing to bear the innovation and resources of the private sector through new and expanded partnerships, innovative financing, and other initiatives; and (iv) leading key fundraising and reporting excercises.

The Private Sector Partnerships and Innovations team, nested in the Innovative Partnerships and Development Finance Team (IPDF), is focused on mobilising financial resources from private partners, including philanthropic investors, building expertise based partnerships with the private sector, and identifying and scaling innovations to advance Gavi’s objectives. To date, the team has pioneered the use of emerging technologies to accelerate vaccine delivery, built partnerships with global multinationals and leading country corporations, and created the INFUSE platform to identify high potential innovators.

**KEY FUNCTIONS AND DELIVERABLES**
- The Head of Private Sector Partnerships and Innovation, working together with RMPSPIF management team will initiate, lead, and coordinate cross-department and cross-secretariat initiatives to design and pilot strategies related to resource mobilisation, private sector engagement, and innovation. The Head of Private Sector Partnerships Innovation will represent as needed Gavi in external fora.

**MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES**
- As a member of the RMPSPIF management team, the Head of Private Sector Partnerships and Innovation will ensure alignment of the department strategy with the various market strategies and partnership development efforts.
