The partnership agreement between the GAVI Alliance and the implementing country is called a decision letter. The decision letter is considered a legally binding agreement between GAVI and the country and includes a summary of the agreed support, a review of the implications of GAVI policy and processes to the agreed support, details and data on the approved support (based on information provided by the country in their application), and a short summary of the terms and conditions of GAVI support.
From the development of an application for support through to the decision letter, GAVI and the implementing country work closely together so that the content of the letter depicts the key agreements made by both parties. This process is outlined below.
i. Submission of an application: A country will submit an application for new support in accordance with the criteria provided in the application guidelines.
Throughout application development, GAVI Secretariat staff and Alliance partners proactively support countries in understanding the implications of GAVI policy and processes, as well as in coordinating any technical support related to completing the application.
ii. Pre-assessment: Application pre-assessment is managed by the Secretariat, focusing on validity and consistency of data officially received from countries and coordination with other information sources.
Through this comprehensive screening phase, the Secretariat works closely with the countries to clarify information, verify data, confirm dates, etc., to ensure that all details provided are consistent, clear and complete. These discussions also allow countries to anticipate an outcome and start considering planning for the introduction.
iii. Independent Review Committee (IRC) meeting: The IRC reviews applications, taking into account the pre-assessment reports, and make recommendations to the GAVI Board or Executive Committee.
Following the IRC review, an informal letter is sent to countries to relay details of the IRC recommendation and any related clarifications or further information that may be required of the country by the IRC. While in this communication it is clearly indicated that the IRC outcome is only a recommendation and that the GAVI Board or Executive Committee will need to consider and decide on the IRC recommendation for any result to be considered final, the provision of this information provides the country the opportunity to begin cautious planning and to provide the necessary information to respond to the clarifications required.
iv. Approval: The GAVI Executive Committee will consider and decide on the IRC recommendations. Countries will be notified of the final outcome via a Decision Letter.
In 2013, the decision letter will be replaced with a partnership framework agreement (PFA). The PFA also serves as a legally binding document with countries and is designed to improve the ease for countries to understand the GAVI requirements. Countries will be familiar with the content as most of the terms in the PFA have been taken from a variety of existing documents – such as application guidelines, application forms, annual progress reports, decision letters and aide memoires – and reflects GAVI practice in implementing the policies and board decisions.ObjectivesObjectivesObjectivesObjectivesObjectivesConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsHSS evaluation EthiopiaGAVI CSO evaluation_Ethiopia Country ReportResults, outcomes and outputsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractscMYP Ethiopia 2011-2015Comprehensive multi-year plan for 2011-2015Conditions are available in the decision letters47122-1821-ETH-31A-ZThe Global Alliance for Vaccination and ImmunisationCCEOPOne of GAVI’s strategic goals is to “contribute to strengthening the capacity of integrated health systems to deliver immunisation”.

Following the IRC review, an informal letter is sent to countries to relay details of the IRC recommendation and any related clarifications or further information that may be required of the country by the IRC. While in this communication it is clearly indicated that the IRC outcome is only a recommendation and that the GAVI Board or Executive Committee will need to consider and decide on the IRC recommendation for any result to be considered final, the provision of this information provides the country the opportunity to begin cautious planning and to provide the necessary information to respond to the clarifications required.
iv. Approval: The GAVI Executive Committee will consider and decide on the IRC recommendations. Countries will be notified of the final outcome via a Decision Letter.
In 2013, the decision letter will be replaced with a partnership framework agreement (PFA). The PFA also serves as a legally binding document with countries and is designed to improve the ease for countries to understand the GAVI requirements. Countries will be familiar with the content as most of the terms in the PFA have been taken from a variety of existing documents – such as application guidelines, application forms, annual progress reports, decision letters and aide memoires – and reflects GAVI practice in implementing the policies and board decisions.ObjectivesObjectivesObjectivesConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsHSS evaluation EthiopiaGAVI CSO evaluation_Ethiopia Country ReportContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractscMYP Ethiopia 2011-2015Comprehensive multi-year plan for 2011-2015Conditions are available in the decision lettersImmunization ResultsImmunization ResultsWUENIC Vaccine coverage for Third dose of Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis vaccineThe WHO and UNICEF coverage estimates47122-02-ETH-07A-ZThe Global Alliance for Vaccination and ImmunisationInjection safety support (INS)One of GAVI’s strategic goals is to “contribute to strengthening the capacity of integrated health systems to deliver immunisation”.

GAVI began offering Injection Safety Support (INS) in mid-2001 to countries that wanted to introduce or increase the use of auto-disable (AD) syringes and safety boxes into their national immunisation programmes for vaccines not supported by GAVI. To date, 71 GAVI-eligible countries have received GAVI’s injection safety support (INS), and by the end of 2009 when the INS window closed, 66 countries reported that they were supporting injection safety practices either through donor support or their own health ministry budgets.

The partnership agreement between the GAVI Alliance and the implementing country is called a decision letter. The decision letter is considered a legally binding agreement between GAVI and the country and includes a summary of the agreed support, a review of the implications of GAVI policy and processes to the agreed support, details and data on the approved support (based on information provided by the country in their application), and a short summary of the terms and conditions of GAVI support.
From the development of an application for support through to the decision letter, GAVI and the implementing country work closely together so that the content of the letter depicts the key agreements made by both parties. This process is outlined below.
i. Submission of an application: A country will submit an application for new support in accordance with the criteria provided in the application guidelines.
Throughout application development, GAVI Secretariat staff and Alliance partners proactively support countries in understanding the implications of GAVI policy and processes, as well as in coordinating any technical support related to completing the application.
ii. Pre-assessment: Application pre-assessment is managed by the Secretariat, focusing on validity and consistency of data officially received from countries and coordination with other information sources.
Through this comprehensive screening phase, the Secretariat works closely with the countries to clarify information, verify data, confirm dates, etc., to ensure that all details provided are consistent, clear and complete. These discussions also allow countries to anticipate an outcome and start considering planning for the introduction.

Through this comprehensive screening phase, the Secretariat works closely with the countries to clarify information, verify data, confirm dates, etc., to ensure that all details provided are consistent, clear and complete. These discussions also allow countries to anticipate an outcome and start considering planning for the introduction.
iii. Independent Review Committee (IRC) meeting: The IRC reviews applications, taking into account the pre-assessment reports, and make recommendations to the GAVI Board or Executive Committee.
Following the IRC review, an informal letter is sent to countries to relay details of the IRC recommendation and any related clarifications or further information that may be required of the country by the IRC. While in this communication it is clearly indicated that the IRC outcome is only a recommendation and that the GAVI Board or Executive Committee will need to consider and decide on the IRC recommendation for any result to be considered final, the provision of this information provides the country the opportunity to begin cautious planning and to provide the necessary information to respond to the clarifications required.
iv. Approval: The GAVI Executive Committee will consider and decide on the IRC recommendations. Countries will be notified of the final outcome via a Decision Letter.
In 2013, the decision letter will be replaced with a partnership framework agreement (PFA). The PFA also serves as a legally binding document with countries and is designed to improve the ease for countries to understand the GAVI requirements. Countries will be familiar with the content as most of the terms in the PFA have been taken from a variety of existing documents – such as application guidelines, application forms, annual progress reports, decision letters and aide memoires – and reflects GAVI practice in implementing the policies and board decisions.ObjectivesObjectivesObjectivesObjectivesObjectivesObjectivesObjectivesHSS evaluation EthiopiaGAVI CSO evaluation_Ethiopia Country ReportResults, outcomes and outputsResults, outcomes and outputsResults, outcomes and outputsResults, outcomes and outputsContractsConditions are available in the decision lettersImmunization ResultsImmunization ResultsWUENIC Vaccine coverage for Third dose of Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis vaccineThe WHO and UNICEF coverage estimates47122-05-ETH-02Z-XThe Global Alliance for Vaccination and ImmunisationImmunisation services support (ISS)One of GAVI’s strategic goals is to “contribute to strengthening the capacity of integrated health systems to deliver immunisation”.

The partnership agreement between the GAVI Alliance and the implementing country is called a decision letter. The decision letter is considered a legally binding agreement between GAVI and the country and includes a summary of the agreed support, a review of the implications of GAVI policy and processes to the agreed support, details and data on the approved support (based on information provided by the country in their application), and a short summary of the terms and conditions of GAVI support.
From the development of an application for support through to the decision letter, GAVI and the implementing country work closely together so that the content of the letter depicts the key agreements made by both parties. This process is outlined below.

In line with a 2009 WHO position paper on cervical cancer recommending that routine human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination be included in national immunisation programmes, GAVI provides support to eligible countries for HPV vaccines that protect against types 16 and 18, responsible for causing about 70% of cervical cancer cases.

From the development of an application for support through to the decision letter, GAVI and the implementing country work closely together so that the content of the letter depicts the key agreements made by both parties. This process is outlined below.
i. Submission of an application: A country will submit an application for new support in accordance with the criteria provided in the application guidelines.
Throughout application development, GAVI Secretariat staff and Alliance partners proactively support countries in understanding the implications of GAVI policy and processes, as well as in coordinating any technical support related to completing the application.
ii. Pre-assessment: Application pre-assessment is managed by the Secretariat, focusing on validity and consistency of data officially received from countries and coordination with other information sources.
Through this comprehensive screening phase, the Secretariat works closely with the countries to clarify information, verify data, confirm dates, etc., to ensure that all details provided are consistent, clear and complete. These discussions also allow countries to anticipate an outcome and start considering planning for the introduction.
iii. Independent Review Committee (IRC) meeting: The IRC reviews applications, taking into account the pre-assessment reports, and make recommendations to the GAVI Board or Executive Committee.
Following the IRC review, an informal letter is sent to countries to relay details of the IRC recommendation and any related clarifications or further information that may be required of the country by the IRC. While in this communication it is clearly indicated that the IRC outcome is only a recommendation and that the GAVI Board or Executive Committee will need to consider and decide on the IRC recommendation for any result to be considered final, the provision of this information provides the country the opportunity to begin cautious planning and to provide the necessary information to respond to the clarifications required.
iv. Approval: The GAVI Executive Committee will consider and decide on the IRC recommendations. Countries will be notified of the final outcome via a Decision Letter.
In 2013, the decision letter will be replaced with a partnership framework agreement (PFA). The PFA also serves as a legally binding document with countries and is designed to improve the ease for countries to understand the GAVI requirements. Countries will be familiar with the content as most of the terms in the PFA have been taken from a variety of existing documents – such as application guidelines, application forms, annual progress reports, decision letters and aide memoires – and reflects GAVI practice in implementing the policies and board decisions.ObjectivesObjectivesObjectivesConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsHSS evaluation EthiopiaGAVI CSO evaluation_Ethiopia Country ReportContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsConditions are available in the decision lettersImmunization ResultsImmunization ResultsWUENIC Vaccine coverage for Third dose of Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis vaccineThe WHO and UNICEF coverage estimates47122-19-ETH-32A-XThe Global Alliance for Vaccination and ImmunisationNew vaccine support (NVS) for SDEVGAVI’s support for new vaccines presents an opportunity for countries to not only implement vaccines that protect against diseases causing substantial morbidity and/or mortality, but also to build upon the vaccine investments in order to increase immunisation coverage rates, and strengthen routine immunisation services and primary health care systems.

To reduce the risk of Meningococcal A meningitis epidemics in the 26 most-affected countries in Africa, GAVI supports preventive campaigns with Men A vaccine in the population aged from one to 29 years old, in line with WHO recommendations.The Global Alliance for Vaccination and ImmunisationWorld Health Organisation - core voluntary contributions account (for technical assitance)United Nations Childrens FundFederal States & Local GovernmentsFederal States & Local GovernmentsGAVI Allianceinfo@gavi.orgEthiopiaAddis Ababa9.0249700 38.7468900Immunisation1326250017118500105610001339850017293500123386473069200012652500847500-454300-7070531188275210924681557744158987816951672-567928-534753107147091459722871269-31-707022Impact AppraisalsTendersPerformances & EvaluationsInstitutional Evaluation ReportInstitutional Evaluation ReportInstitutional Evaluation ReportSector strategyEvaluation policyOrganisation web pageCountry/Region web pageDecision letters on GAVI support: engagement with countries
The partnership agreement between the GAVI Alliance and the implementing country is called a decision letter. The decision letter is considered a legally binding agreement between GAVI and the country and includes a summary of the agreed support, a review of the implications of GAVI policy and processes to the agreed support, details and data on the approved support (based on information provided by the country in their application), and a short summary of the terms and conditions of GAVI support.
From the development of an application for support through to the decision letter, GAVI and the implementing country work closely together so that the content of the letter depicts the key agreements made by both parties. This process is outlined below.
i. Submission of an application: A country will submit an application for new support in accordance with the criteria provided in the application guidelines.
Throughout application development, GAVI Secretariat staff and Alliance partners proactively support countries in understanding the implications of GAVI policy and processes, as well as in coordinating any technical support related to completing the application.
ii. Pre-assessment: Application pre-assessment is managed by the Secretariat, focusing on validity and consistency of data officially received from countries and coordination with other information sources.
Through this comprehensive screening phase, the Secretariat works closely with the countries to clarify information, verify data, confirm dates, etc., to ensure that all details provided are consistent, clear and complete. These discussions also allow countries to anticipate an outcome and start considering planning for the introduction.
iii. Independent Review Committee (IRC) meeting: The IRC reviews applications, taking into account the pre-assessment reports, and make recommendations to the GAVI Board or Executive Committee.
Following the IRC review, an informal letter is sent to countries to relay details of the IRC recommendation and any related clarifications or further information that may be required of the country by the IRC. While in this communication it is clearly indicated that the IRC outcome is only a recommendation and that the GAVI Board or Executive Committee will need to consider and decide on the IRC recommendation for any result to be considered final, the provision of this information provides the country the opportunity to begin cautious planning and to provide the necessary information to respond to the clarifications required.
iv. Approval: The GAVI Executive Committee will consider and decide on the IRC recommendations. Countries will be notified of the final outcome via a Decision Letter.
In 2013, the decision letter will be replaced with a partnership framework agreement (PFA). The PFA also serves as a legally binding document with countries and is designed to improve the ease for countries to understand the GAVI requirements. Countries will be familiar with the content as most of the terms in the PFA have been taken from a variety of existing documents – such as application guidelines, application forms, annual progress reports, decision letters and aide memoires – and reflects GAVI practice in implementing the policies and board decisions.ObjectivesObjectivesObjectivesObjectivesConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsHSS evaluation EthiopiaGAVI CSO evaluation_Ethiopia Country ReportResults, outcomes and outputsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractscMYP Ethiopia 2011-2015Comprehensive multi-year plan for 2011-2015Conditions are available in the decision lettersImmunization ResultsImmunization ResultsNumber of beneficiaires vaccinated with First Doses of Meningococcal Meningitis A CampaignTargets according to GAVI submitted decision letters & Achievements according to country submitted achievementsImmunization ResultsImmunization ResultsTotal doses requested of Meningococcal Meningitis A CampaignTargets according to GAVI submitted decision letters & Achievements according to country submitted achievements47122-0715-ETH-04A-XThe Global Alliance for Vaccination and ImmunisationNew vaccine support (NVS) for PENTAGAVI’s support for new vaccines presents an opportunity for countries to not only implement vaccines that protect against diseases causing substantial morbidity and/or mortality, but also to build upon the vaccine investments in order to increase immunisation coverage rates, and strengthen routine immunisation services and primary health care systems. The pentavalent vaccine, administered in a three-dose schedule, offers protection against five diseases: diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP), heptatitis B and Haemophilius influenzae type b. Until 2013, GAVI has helped to introduce the pentavalent in 70 of the 73 GAVI-eligible countries, with the aim of reaching all 73 by the end of 2014. GAVI support for pentavalent vaccine is in line with WHO recommendations, for routine infant immunisation and primarily targeting children under one year of age.The Global Alliance for Vaccination and ImmunisationWorld Health Organisation - core voluntary contributions account (for technical assitance)United Nations Childrens FundFederal States & Local GovernmentsFederal States & Local GovernmentsGAVI Allianceinfo@gavi.orgEthiopiaAddis Ababa9.0249700 38.7468900Immunisation38123764339020003395750032015500311115002708400021316000196910001873450038536751343329013406512516668000176992892075200021857445902920611813000550747643395750016951000265500310325001164679-1405084326372000-9980948-120150023290500-79087518402000-93405117760000472696811445317-873079412274352551938720595525102972581427721775069957974501800001474878915159119393927375701682106252277564257378-82146711208775353074264623259367235533685-272147102563719169059485227963439866411186-3016038443146166355625642-144959620172976857184165898-367683300038445859753923563-13123085989337-5445744649Impact AppraisalsTendersPerformances & EvaluationsInstitutional Evaluation ReportInstitutional Evaluation ReportInstitutional Evaluation ReportSector strategyEvaluation policyOrganisation web pageCountry/Region web pageDecision letters on GAVI support: engagement with countries

In 2013, the decision letter will be replaced with a partnership framework agreement (PFA). The PFA also serves as a legally binding document with countries and is designed to improve the ease for countries to understand the GAVI requirements.

Pneumococcal vaccines can protect children from Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is the most common cause of severe pneumonia among children living in the developing world, and can also causes meningitis and sepsis. In line with WHO recommendations, GAVI support for pneumococcal vaccines is for routine infant immunisation. Two pneumococcal conjugate vaccines are currently available with GAVI support: a 10-valent (PCV10) and a 13-valent (PCV13).The Global Alliance for Vaccination and ImmunisationWorld Health Organisation - core voluntary contributions account (for technical assitance)United Nations Childrens FundFederal States & Local GovernmentsFederal States & Local GovernmentsGAVI Allianceinfo@gavi.orgEthiopiaAddis Ababa9.0249700 38.7468900Immunisation144295003426650036819000144295001442950030124000131804850-3600Impact AppraisalsTendersPerformances & EvaluationsInstitutional Evaluation ReportInstitutional Evaluation ReportInstitutional Evaluation ReportSector strategyEvaluation policyOrganisation web pageCountry/Region web pageDecision letters on GAVI support: engagement with countries
The partnership agreement between the GAVI Alliance and the implementing country is called a decision letter. The decision letter is considered a legally binding agreement between GAVI and the country and includes a summary of the agreed support, a review of the implications of GAVI policy and processes to the agreed support, details and data on the approved support (based on information provided by the country in their application), and a short summary of the terms and conditions of GAVI support.
From the development of an application for support through to the decision letter, GAVI and the implementing country work closely together so that the content of the letter depicts the key agreements made by both parties. This process is outlined below.
i. Submission of an application: A country will submit an application for new support in accordance with the criteria provided in the application guidelines.
Throughout application development, GAVI Secretariat staff and Alliance partners proactively support countries in understanding the implications of GAVI policy and processes, as well as in coordinating any technical support related to completing the application.
ii. Pre-assessment: Application pre-assessment is managed by the Secretariat, focusing on validity and consistency of data officially received from countries and coordination with other information sources.
Through this comprehensive screening phase, the Secretariat works closely with the countries to clarify information, verify data, confirm dates, etc., to ensure that all details provided are consistent, clear and complete. These discussions also allow countries to anticipate an outcome and start considering planning for the introduction.
iii. Independent Review Committee (IRC) meeting: The IRC reviews applications, taking into account the pre-assessment reports, and make recommendations to the GAVI Board or Executive Committee.
Following the IRC review, an informal letter is sent to countries to relay details of the IRC recommendation and any related clarifications or further information that may be required of the country by the IRC. While in this communication it is clearly indicated that the IRC outcome is only a recommendation and that the GAVI Board or Executive Committee will need to consider and decide on the IRC recommendation for any result to be considered final, the provision of this information provides the country the opportunity to begin cautious planning and to provide the necessary information to respond to the clarifications required.

The aim of GAVI’s operational support for campaigns is to facilitate the timely and effective delivery of vaccines to the target population. In line with a 2009 WHO position paper on cervical cancer recommending that routine human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination be included in national immunisation programmes, GAVI provides support to eligible countries for HPV vaccines that protect against types 16 and 18, responsible for causing about 70% of cervical cancer cases. The form of support provided by GAVI depends on the level of demonstrated ability in a country to deliver vaccines to young adolescent girls.

The aim of GAVI’s operational support for campaigns is to facilitate the timely and effective delivery of vaccines to the target population. To reduce the risk of Meningococcal A meningitis epidemics in the 26 most-affected countries in Africa, GAVI supports preventive campaigns with Men A vaccine in the population aged from one to 29 years old, in line with WHO recommendations.The Global Alliance for Vaccination and ImmunisationWorld Health Organisation - core voluntary contributions account (for technical assitance)Federal States & Local GovernmentsFederal States & Local GovernmentsGAVI Allianceinfo@gavi.orgEthiopiaAddis Ababa9.0249700 38.7468900Basic health care123025001587950097965001230250015673845580333228182000-2189796500-28012-462-417013112302500158792825847421-462-249064Impact AppraisalsTendersPerformances & EvaluationsInstitutional Evaluation ReportInstitutional Evaluation ReportInstitutional Evaluation ReportSector strategyEvaluation policyOrganisation web pageCountry/Region web pageDecision letters on GAVI support: engagement with countries
The partnership agreement between the GAVI Alliance and the implementing country is called a decision letter. The decision letter is considered a legally binding agreement between GAVI and the country and includes a summary of the agreed support, a review of the implications of GAVI policy and processes to the agreed support, details and data on the approved support (based on information provided by the country in their application), and a short summary of the terms and conditions of GAVI support.
From the development of an application for support through to the decision letter, GAVI and the implementing country work closely together so that the content of the letter depicts the key agreements made by both parties. This process is outlined below.
i. Submission of an application: A country will submit an application for new support in accordance with the criteria provided in the application guidelines.
Throughout application development, GAVI Secretariat staff and Alliance partners proactively support countries in understanding the implications of GAVI policy and processes, as well as in coordinating any technical support related to completing the application.
ii. Pre-assessment: Application pre-assessment is managed by the Secretariat, focusing on validity and consistency of data officially received from countries and coordination with other information sources.
Through this comprehensive screening phase, the Secretariat works closely with the countries to clarify information, verify data, confirm dates, etc., to ensure that all details provided are consistent, clear and complete. These discussions also allow countries to anticipate an outcome and start considering planning for the introduction.
iii. Independent Review Committee (IRC) meeting: The IRC reviews applications, taking into account the pre-assessment reports, and make recommendations to the GAVI Board or Executive Committee.
Following the IRC review, an informal letter is sent to countries to relay details of the IRC recommendation and any related clarifications or further information that may be required of the country by the IRC. While in this communication it is clearly indicated that the IRC outcome is only a recommendation and that the GAVI Board or Executive Committee will need to consider and decide on the IRC recommendation for any result to be considered final, the provision of this information provides the country the opportunity to begin cautious planning and to provide the necessary information to respond to the clarifications required.
iv. Approval: The GAVI Executive Committee will consider and decide on the IRC recommendations. Countries will be notified of the final outcome via a Decision Letter.
In 2013, the decision letter will be replaced with a partnership framework agreement (PFA). The PFA also serves as a legally binding document with countries and is designed to improve the ease for countries to understand the GAVI requirements. Countries will be familiar with the content as most of the terms in the PFA have been taken from a variety of existing documents – such as application guidelines, application forms, annual progress reports, decision letters and aide memoires – and reflects GAVI practice in implementing the policies and board decisions.ObjectivesObjectivesObjectivesConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsConditionsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsBudget DocsHSS evaluation EthiopiaGAVI CSO evaluation_Ethiopia Country ReportResults, outcomes and outputsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractsContractscMYP Ethiopia 2011-2015Comprehensive multi-year plan for 2011-2015Conditions are available in the decision letters47122-06-ETH-08Z-ZThe Global Alliance for Vaccination and ImmunisationVaccine Introduction GrantWhen approved to introduce a new vaccine, a country will receive a one-time cash grant to support a share of the additional costs related to the new introduction or delivery of the campaign, with the remainder being funded by the Government.
