Girl Effect is a not-for-profit creative social enterprise whose mission is to create a New Normal with and for girls. Originally launched by Nike Foundation, Girl Effect became independent in September 2015, continuing to focus on breaking the inter-generational poverty cycle by empowering adolescent girls. Girl Effect builds locally rooted media brands that reframe the value of girls in society – the portfolio of regional brands and global platforms includes magazines, radio dramas, talk shows and two-way digital content.

Girl Effect is an investor and implementer in Gavi’s mission to drive increased uptake of the HPV vaccine. Girl Effect made an initial commitment of US$ 5 million of its resources1 – matched by the Gavi Matching Fund – to support Gavi and its Alliance partners to drive uptake of HPV, the cervical cancer vaccine provided to young girls. Additionally, Girl Effect’s work underpins the HPV programme’s integration agenda, by promoting health-seeking behaviour by girls. In the long run, a positive understanding of the importance of immunisation and health-seeking behaviours will positively impact the communities of the girls and young women reached.

In 2022, Girl Effect and Gavi signed an expansion of the partnership in Ethiopia and Tanzania through a US$ 4 million commitment, again matched by the Gavi matching fund. In 2023, an additional phase was added to expand the scope of the project in Tanzania, as well as to support the Government of India to design, test and scale content in support of the introduction of its HPV campaign. Girl Effect has invested US$ 4 million in the expansion, which was matched by the Gavi Matching Fund.

Proceeds to Gavi from donor contributions & pledges (2021-2025) as of 30 June 2023

Proceeds are funds made available to Gavi from donor contributions and commitments, either through cash payments made to Gavi, through frontloading via the capital markets of a future donor commitment to IFFIm, or through AMC funds released to Gavi via the World Bank. IFFIm proceeds are allocated over five-year periods coinciding with Gavi’s strategic periods. Proceeds for the current and future strategic periods are indicative until the end of each period and could be revised following changes in market conditions (interest rates or foreign exchange rates), the signing of new pledge(s) and/or changes in IFFIm’s disbursement profile.

Notes:
Direct Contributions (including Matching Fund)

Received contributions: non-US$ contributions for 2000–2022 and Q1-Q2 2023 are expressed in US$ equivalents using the exchange rates on the dates of receipt. For 2014–2022 and Q1-Q2 2023 where contributions were hedged to mitigate currency risk exposure, these have been expressed using the rates applicable to the hedge agreement.

Future contributions (for pledges made prior to the June 2020 donor pledging conference): non-US$ Direct Contribution and Matching Fund pledges for Q3-Q4 2023 and for years 2024 and beyond are expressed in US$ equivalents using the applicable forecast rates from Bloomberg as at 30 June 2023 or using the rates applicable to any hedge agreement in place.

Future contributions (for pledges at the June 2020 donor pledging conference): non-US$ Direct Contribution and Matching Fund pledges for Q3-Q4 2023 and for years 2024 and beyond are expressed in US$ equivalents using the spot rates from Refinitiv as at 30 June 2023 or using the rates applicable to any hedge agreement in place.

IFFIm contributions

Received contributions: non-US$ contributions for 2000-2022 and Q1-Q2 2023 are expressed in US$ equivalents as confirmed by the IBRD (World Bank)

Future contributions: non-US$ Direct Contribution and Matching Fund pledges for Q3-Q4 2023 and for years 2024 and beyond are expressed in US$ equivalents using the applicable forecast rates from Bloomberg as at 30 June 2023 or using the rates applicable to any hedge agreement in place.

  • For signed contribution agreements: contributions are expressed in US$ equivalents using the exchange rates at the time of signing the respective donor grant agreements
  • For contribution agreements not yet signed: contributions are expressed in US$ equivalents using the applicable spot rates from Refinitiv as at 30 June 2023

Due to IFFIm’s nature as a frontloading vehicle, yearly contributions paid into IFFIm can differ significantly from yearly proceeds transferred to Gavi.

While IFFIm grants are irrevocable and legally binding, they are subject to a Grant Payment Condition that can potentially reduce the amount due by the donor in the event that a Gavi-supported programme country is in protracted arrears with the International Monetary Fund. Since 29 June 2021, there is no longer any reduction applied, as all countries from the reference portfolio have cleared their arrears with the IMF.
