The Big Catch-Up: a legacy that could last generations
Pandemic disruptions reversed decades of immunisation progress. A programme designed to catch-up, restore and strengthen immunisation programmes is shifting paradigms.
Gavi 6.0 funding guidelines
Newly released funding guidelines outline the scope of Gavi’s vaccine and cash support for the 2026–2030 strategic period (Gavi 6.0), explain how countries should plan and prioritise their immunisation programmes within this support, clarify the requirements for the Gavi 6.0 country application and describe how to access other forms of assistance such as outbreak and emergency support.
Leaving no one behind with immunisation
Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance is a public-private partnership that helps vaccinate more than half the world’s children against some of the world's deadliest diseases.
