Norway is one of the original six donors to Gavi and has steadily increased its strong long-term political and financial support. Norway’s support to Gavi is advocated at the highest level and is anchored in a strong cross-party political understanding of the value of investing in immunisation. Norway has taken a very active role in Gavi and was the co-host, with the USA, of a meeting in New York in October 2010, which opened for the first Gavi pledging conference.

Norway contributes to the Vaccine Alliance through three funding channels: Direct, IFFIm and AMC. Norwegian private sector companies, such as Laerdal, DNB and Statoil, as well as private individuals have also provided funding to Gavi.

At the pledging conference in London in 2011, the Norwegian Prime Minister committed US$ 612 million in direct funding for the period 2011–2015. In addition, there were existing agreements of US$ 50 million to AMC and 1.5 billion Norwegian krone to IFFIm. In Berlin 2015, the Prime Minister announced a 50% increase in the Norwegian direct support to Gavi for the period 2016–2020, bringing the total future Norwegian contribution up to 6.25 billion Norwegian krone.

Additionally, in 2014 Norway committed 1.14 billion Norwegian krone for the period 2014–2019 to support the Vaccine Alliance’s effort to complement GPEI’s work, strengthening routine immunisation and introducing inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) in Gavi-supported countries.

On 4 June 2020, during the Global Vaccine Summit, Prime Minister Erna Solberg announced a considerable increase in Norway’s commitment to Gavi for the strategic period 2021–2025. The total commitment of 10.05 billion Norwegian krone comprises 6.05 billion Norwegian krone in direct support and 4 billion Norwegian krone through IFFIm over ten years.

Norway has committed 1164.1 million Norwegian krone to Gavi COVAX AMC, as well as approved the transfer of US$ 6.25 million from Norway’s support to the PCV AMC to the Gavi COVAX AMC.

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.

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.

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.
