Report to the Board
24 -25 June 20 20

Section A: Executive Summary
? At its meeting of 11 February 2020, Governance Committee members noted
a proposal to:
o review and update Gavi?s Statutes to remove some ambiguities that
currently exist and provide more clarity on a number of its provisions ;
o retire Gavi?s By -laws and replace them with a set of Operating
Procedures for the Board and Board Committees falling under the
purview of the Board; and
o incorporate any elements of the By -laws into the Statu tes which might
be required to ensure compliance with the Swiss Civil Code (as Gavi is
a Swiss Foundation).
? This paper seeks to provide some furthe r context to that proposal and the
ensuing work which has been overseen and endorsed by the Governance
Committee , which now recommends to the Board that it approv e the revised
and updated Statutes and the new Operating Procedures and retire the By -
laws .
? Th e revised and updated Statutes have received the prior approval of the
Swiss Supervisory Authority for Foundations (Supervisory Authority) and
the new Operating Procedures in place of the By -laws have been cleared
by the S upervisory Authority.
Section B: Statutes, By -laws and Operating Procedures
Introduction
1.1 When the Gavi Alliance was set up as a Swiss Foundation in 2009, the
Board approved the Gavi Statutes and the Gavi By -laws as the two principal
governing documents of the organisation.
1.2 Articles 80 to 8 9 of the Swiss Civil Code provide the legal framework under
which Swiss Foundations may operate and determine that their work is
supervised by the Supervisory Authority, which falls within the Federal
Ministry of the Interior.

Board -2020 -Mtg -3-Doc 01h


Section A: Executive Summary
Context
The Managing Director of the Audit and Investigations (A&I) function is required to
report to the Board at least annually. Given the constrain ts on time for this meeting,
it has been agreed with the Board Chair to postpone th at report until the December
meeting. C onsequently , certain items for immediate update are presented in this
paper.
Questions this paper addresses
? The Board has been briefed previously on the need to undertak e an
External Quality Assessment (EQA) of the A&I function by an independent
third party , a requirement of the professional standards by which the
function operates. This assessment was undertaken in late 2019. What are
the results of the EQA?

? In the light of the COVID -19 pandemic, the planned activities of the A&I
function for 2020 have been significantly recast. What considerations have
been taken in to account in revising the plan, and what coverage of risk is
achieved consequently?

? Certain updates are required in A&I ?s Terms of Reference (ToR) , the charter
which sets the foundations for the conduct of the A&I activity and the scope
of its operation . Why are c hanges to the ToR required , and what are they?
What is the basis of the Board ?s approval ?
Concl usions
The EQA resulted in an overall rating of ?generally complies? (which is the highest
achievable). A&I was assessed against 62 criteria and satisfied them all with out
qualification or recommendation . Certain ?value -added? observations , not critical,
were made by the assessors for the further development of the A&I function.
The A&I 2020 plan has been revised with a consideration of : the changing risk
profile which Gavi faces ; the practical effects of not being able to travel to countri es
to conduct programme audits ; and the compromised availability currently of
management and staff members to engage with A&I . The revised plan, approved
by the AFC, is shown at A nnex A.

24 -25 juin 2020


Le 17 juin 2020

Chers membres du Conseil d'administration,
Au d?but du mois, le Royaume -Uni qui s?est montr? si accueillant, a organis? le
Sommet mondial sur la vaccination 2020 , troisi?me conf?rence ? virtuelle - des
donateurs de Gavi . Cet ?v?nement a connu un succ?s remarquable, non
seulement parce que nous avons r?ussi ? d?passer l?objectif minimum de
7,4 milliards de dollars US que no us nous ?tions fix?, mais aussi parce qu?il a
permis d?exprimer concr?tement la solidarit? mondiale et de reconna?tre
l'importance de la vaccination et de la t?che accomplie par Gavi. Notre mission
n'a jamais ?t? aussi pertinente qu'aujourd'hui .
La COVID -19 a fait basculer notre monde, et nous auron s ? en affronter les
cons?quences sanitaires, ?conomiques et sociales pendant encore un certain
temps. Le SRAS -CoV -2, virus responsable de la COVID -19, s?est propag ? en
quelques mois dans 180 pays. Comme nous en avons d?j? discut? au sein du
Conseil d?administration , les ?pid?mies de ce genre sont une des cons?quences
in?vitables de l?? vol ution . Cette pand?mie met en lumi?re l'importance de la
vaccination dans la lutte contre les maladies infectieuses et les pand?mies , de la
r?silience des syst?mes de sant? et du r?le de Gavi pour la s?curit? sanitaire au
niveau plan?taire . Mais tout cela n?est possible que si nous parvenons ? atteindre
toute s les population s, ce qui confirme le bien -fond? de l?approche que nous
avons adopt?e pour Gavi 5.0 en d?cidant de centrer nos actions sur les individus
et les communaut?s les plus marginalis?s et de mettre en place des syst?mes
permettant d?atteindre ceux qui ont ?t? laiss?s de c?t? .
La COVID -19 a impos? de nouvelles fa?ons de penser et de travailler, ce qui est
valable ?galement pour les r?unions de gouvernance. Nous avons d? all?ger
notre ordre du jour . Afin de privil?gier les temps de discussion, nous avons
supprim? les traditionnels discours d? introduction et avons ouvert un forum de
discussion sur BoardEffect pour que les membres du conseil d'administration
puissent poster des commentaires et des questions sur les documents avant la
r?union. Richard Hatchett, directeur g?n?ral de la Coalition pour les innovations

Report to the Board
24-25 June 2020


17 June 2020

Dear Board members ,
Earlier this month, the UK ? our gracious hosts ? convened Gavi?s third donor
pledging conference, the virtual Global Vaccine Summit 2020. The event was an
outstanding success, not only because we were able to exceed our target of at
least US$ 7.4 billion, but also because of the global solidarity and recognition of
the importance of immunisation and the work of Ga vi. Never has our mission
been more relevant than it is now.
COVID -19 has turned the world upside down with health, economic and societal
implications we will be grappling with for some time to come. SARS -CoV -2, the
virus responsible for COVID -19, was able to traverse 180 countries in a few short
months. As we have discussed at the Board, such outbreaks are an evolutionary
inevitability. This outbreak underscores the importance of vaccines in fighting
infectious disease and controlling pandemics, of resilie nt health systems and of
Gavi?s central role in achieving global health security. But we can only do that if
we reach everyone, and this reinforces our approach in Gavi 5.0 of focusing on
the most marginalised and building out systems to reach the unreache d.
COVID -19 has forced new ways of thinking and working, and that also holds true
for governance meetings. We have had to streamline our agenda. To maximise
time for discussion, we will not have our usual introductory presentations and
have set up a Discu ssion Board on BoardEffect for Board members to post
comments and questions on the papers ahead of the meeting. We will also have
Richard Hatchett, CEO of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations
(CEPI) addressing the Board. CEPI has become an e ven closer partner to Gavi
through our joint work on COVID -19 vaccines and their use of the International
Finance Facility for Immunisation (IFFIm) to channel support from Norway.
In the face of COVID -19, I would like to start with an acknowledgement of t he
health care workers globally who are on the frontlines of this pandemic, many
working without personal protective equipment (PPE) or other basic supplies.
Alliance partners including both WHO and UNICEF have lost invaluable staff to

Section A: Executive Summary
This report presents an overview of how the Alliance is delivering against its
Strategic Goals including a holistic view across the Alliance?s portfolio of support
to countries including vaccine programmes, Health System and Im munisation
Strengthening (HSIS) support and technical support provided under the Partners?
Engagement Framework (PEF) , and on the associated risks 1.
As the COVID -19 pandemic continues to unfold, this report also provides an
overview on the immediate impact on immunisation programmes and
achie ving the targets of Gavi 4.0 (Section B) , a brief update on the Alliance?s
proactive response to the crisis (Section C) and the potential implications on
Gavi 5.0 operationalisation (Section D) over the next 18 months . A detailed view
on the impact on immunisation programmes , Gavi?s response and the implications
on Gavi 5.0 was discussed at the 11 May 2020 Board meeting and is made
available to the Board through regular Situation Reports on BoardEffect.
At its 26 -27 May 2020 meeting the PPC discussed Gavi?s adaptive response to
the COVID -19 pandemic and was supportive of the three pillars of the
approach , i.e. the immediate support for country response, maintain ing and
restor ing immunisation services over the next 18 months , and responding to the
fiscal impact of the pandemic on immunisation programmes .
As part of that the PPC agreed with the importance of supporting former Gavi -
eligible countries to address the emerging risks of backsliding in
immunisation programme performance due to COVID -19. In response to these
developments, and in light of the pausing of the Gavi 5.0 Middle Income County
(MICs) approach for the duration of the pandemic , the PPC recommen ds that the
Board allocate targeted Gavi funding (excluding vaccine financing) to
mitigate backsliding risks, where well justified and needed, in these
countries. This time -limited and targeted support aims to specifically address the
unique circumstances brought about by COVID -19 and is therefore not expected
to create a precedent that might detract from Gavi?s sustainability approach.

1 Associated risks refer to the top risks described in the 2019 Risk & Assurance Report (see
https://www.gavi.org/news/document -library/gavi -risk -and -assurance -report -2019 ). The COVID -19
pandemic has led to an extraordinarily uncertain environment with a significant impact on Gavi?s
risk profile, as described on a high -level in the AFC update on risk management (Annex C)

Annex D : Update on Funding Policy Review
As part of operationalising Gavi 5.0, the Secretariat conducted a two -phase review of
Gavi?s existing funding policies: Eligibility & Transition Policy, Co -Financing Policy
and the Health System & Immunisation Strengthening (HSIS) Support
Framework 1. The purpose of this annex is to inform the Board of the status of this
Funding Policy Review (FPR) in light of the COVID -19 pandemic , and to provide
greater detail on the decision points in Doc 03 .
Scope , Context and Approach
1.1 The FPR is an integrated review to update the core policies which define Gavi
funding to countries 2. Until now, the se policies have been developed and
updated individually and separately . This concurrent review enabled an aligned
update to the funding policies, simplifying burdensome processes and
realign ing objectives and incentives .
1.2 The se three policies describe Gavi?s principles and approach to the
funding it provides. Implementation experience indicates that th ese policies
have function ed largely well under the stable ?standard? conditions for
which they were developed, alongside the Fra gility, Emergencies, Refugees
Policy 3 and Gender Policy 4.
1.3 The Eligibility & Transition Policy articulates which countries can access
Gavi support and how this support phase s out over time. It enshrines the key
principles of time -limited and catalytic support focused on the poorest countries
in the world, linked to a country?s ability to pay as proxied by its gross national
income per capita (GNI p.c.). It also provides a clear, institutiona lised pathway
for a country?s eventual exit from Gavi support. In conjunction, t he Co -
financing Policy helps build long -term financial sustainability of vaccines
introduced with Gavi support by requiring countries to invest resources to
procure a certain s hare of these vaccines.
1.4 The Health System and Immunisation Strengthening (HSIS) Support
Framework sets out the objectives, funding levels and essential requirements
for HSIS support (including how health system strengthening (HSS) support is
allocated acr oss countries), to contribute to sustainable improvements in
1 The HSIS support framework operates in a similar manner as a Gavi policy, but with a greater level of
detail. The FPR seeks to resolve this inconsistency with other Board -approved policies. This includes
health system strengthening (HSS) grants, vaccine i ntroduction grants (VIGs) and operational support
for campaigns (Ops). The review also covered the Cold Chain Equipment Optimisation Platform
(CCEOP), which is not currently part of the HSIS framework. 2 While the FPR recommends alignment of funding to cou ntries with funding for technical assistance
through the Partners? Engagement Framework (PEF), PEF itself is included in a separate 5.0
operationalisation workstream on ?Partnerships?. 3 The Fragility, Emergencies and Refugees Policy provides flexibilitie s to a country facing significant
challenges due to exceptional circumstances as identified by humanitarian and emergency response
partners. This policy went into effect in July 2017 and is not in scope for the FPR . 4 A revised Gender Policy (see Doc 04 ) is also being brought to the Board for approval at this meeting .
It is a programmatic policy designed to ensure that a gender lens is taken in Gavi?s approach to
supporting countries and country programming of Gavi?s support to ensure access to immunisatio n for
all.

Annex E: Gavi 5. 0 MICs Approach and COVID -19
Introduction
1.1 In June 2019, the Board agreed that the Alliance?s approach to former
Gavi -eligible countries be institutionalised in Gavi 5.0. They requested
that the Secretariat develop an approach with the objectives of introducing
key missing vaccines and preventing backsliding in immunisation
cov erage levels post -transition. At that time, t he envisaged package of
support for former Gavi -eligible countries included political advocacy,
technical assistance, innovation, market shaping, and catalytic financial
support to jumpstart vaccine introduction s.
1.2 Building on this foundation, t he Board also request ed the Secretariat to
explore how some elements of this approach could be ex tended to
some 1 never Gavi -eligible middle -income countries (MICs ). The
engagement with never Gavi -eligible MICs would have a particular focus on
new vaccine introductions , thereby address ing the inter -country equity
challenge that is impossible to disregard in light of Gavi?s ambitious goal of
?leaving no -one behind wit h immunisation?. The Board approved a funding
envelope of up to 3% of Gavi 5.0 planned expenditure (approximately
US $ 300 million) for the delivery of the MICs Approach.
1.3 Following this decision last year , the Secretariat ha s been developing the
detailed MICs Approach in close collaboration with countries, donors,
partners, expanded partners, and other key stakeholders . The Secretariat
had prepared to bring this approach to the PPC and Board for decision in
May and June 2020 . Section 2 of this paper outlines the Approach that had
been developed prior to COVID -19 and Section 3 indicates the implications
of COVID -19 on this Approach and how the Secretariat will act in response .
The MICs Approach that had been developed prior to COVID -19
2.1 The MICs Approach , as had been prepared for presentation to the PPC and
Board, ha d two primary objectives: to prevent backsliding in vaccine
coverage in former Gavi -eligible countries , and to drive the sustainable
introduction of key missing vacci nes in both former and select never
Gavi -eligible countries . Alongside these primary objectives, the Approach
ha d a number of important secondary objectives: to improve inter - and intra -
country equity ; to maintain and improve access to sustainable vaccine
pricing ; to open up access to new technologies and innovations ; and to
mobilise and maximise domestic resourcing .
2.2 The Approach was designed to leverage the existing expertise and
activities of Alliance partners and expanded partners , as well as to build
1 Never Gavi -eligible countries in scope of the MICs Approach included countries with a GNI p.c.
up to $6,000 and that were missing at least one of three key vaccines (PCV, Rotavirus and HPV).
The Secretariat was also proposed the inclusion of some select s mall island states , in line with the
World Bank definition of IDA .

Report to the Board
Board -2020 -Mtg -3-Doc 03-Annex F

Annex F: Risk implication and mitigation
? COVID -19 creates unprecedented risks to the economies, health systems and
immunisation programmes of Gavi -supported countries. A failure to respond
adequately risks undermining the progress that has been made in
strengthening immunisation coverage, equity, financing and programmes in
current and former Gavi -eligible countries. If these countries see a sustained
backsliding in immunisation coverage, or even drop a vaccine, this will pose
serious questions about the sustainability of the Gavi model. The finan cial cost
for countries to address gaps in coverage or to reintroduce vaccines will be
significant. The approach described in this paper should help mitigate those
risks.
? There is a risk that if many countries are granted flexibilities, this could make
the exceptions in the FER policy common across the portfolio and thereby limit
implementation of Gavi?s standard policies. There is also a risk that the Alliance
will have to make decisions on adjusting support to countries rapidly and with
inadequate informa tion, which could result in suboptimal allocation of resources
or fiduciary risk. To mitigate this, the Secretariat will develop a clear approach
to determine when a nd how flexibilities are granted and new HSIS funding
applications will be subject to exter nal review to ensure that the requested
flexibilities are justified and proportionate. The Secretariat will systematically
track all flexibilities and develop a clea r approach to transition countries to
updated ?standard? policies post -COVID.
? There is a ri sk that the additional flexibilities will result in accelerated
expenditure from Gavi?s HSIS and PEF envelopes over the next 1 -2 years.
While this will help countrie s to respond to the pandemic, it would also mean
that additional funding would be required to ensure countries continue to have
access to adequate support in the latter years of Gavi 5.0. To mitigate this risk,
the Secretariat will continue to monitor the financial impact of the flexibilities
granted and report to the AFC, PPC and Board.
? There i s a risk that Gavi?s support is inadequate to mitigate the impact of
COVID -19 on countries? immunisation programmes and this could result in a
resurgence of VPD outbreaks and mortality. To mitigate this risk, the Alliance
will engage closely with other dev elopment partners to ensure a coordinated
approach to help countries maintain and restore immunisation programmes as
part of a PHC response. The Alliance will continue to monitor the performance
of immunisation programmes and report to the Board if further interventions are
needed.
? There is a risk that the Secretariat and Alliance partners may have inadequate
capacity to manage the COVID -19 response, while also maintaining existing
programmes and preparing for implementation of Gavi 5.0. To mitigate this risk,
the Alliance will seek to coordinate support for COVID -19 recovery with
implementation of Gavi 5.0, and will closely monitor if existing resources are
adequate or surge capacity is required.

Board -2020 -Mtg -3-Investment Committee Chair Report


Section A: Introduction

? This report provides the Board with a n overview of an extraordinary and
unprecedented period in financial markets, reviews investment performance
during this period and updates on the activities of the Investment
Committee . The Committee met twice in the first half of 2020.

? At the start of 2020, the economic backdrop was benign. Market consensus
was that the emerging coronavirus threat from Wuhan could be contained
within China. Effectively the virus was viewed as a human tragedy but not
a market moving event.

? Market panic then ensu ed in February and March as investors reali sed that
the C OVID -19 pandemic could not be contained without putting much of the
global economy into an induced coma. The intensity and volatility of the sell -
off left an indelible mark. The US S&P 500 equity in dex went from peak to
trough ( -34%) in 24 trading days. By comparison, during the 2008 Global
Financial Crisis, the S&P 500 took 356 trading days from peak to trough ( -
57%). While much of the media focus was on equity markets, extreme
market volatility spr ead into other asset classes, including commodities and
investment grade and high yield fixed income credit markets. Developed
market sovereign bonds benefitted from a flight to quality, but all risk assets
fell in unison and the benefits of asset class di versification temporarily
disappeared.

? Having reported a positive return of 12.4% in 2019, the long -term portfolio
suffered a drawdown of -10.6% in Q1 2020 at the height of the C OVID -19
panic. Since March month -end, the portfolio has meaningfully recov ered
such that the year -to -date loss at May month -end is a manageable -3.4 %.

? The drawdown in Q1 2020 was in line with the risk measures and scenarios
(Value at Risk) previously presented to the Board, but performance through
month -end March was nevert heless underwhelming. The Investment
Committee believed heading into the pandemic that markets were fully
valued and had added strategies to the portfolio that were only modestly or
in some cases negatively correlated with overall market volatility. These
included Long/Short equity allocations in the Equity sector and a Dispersion

Board -2020 -Mtg -3-Doc 05


Section A: Executive Summary
Context
In the context of the broader COVID -19 response, the Gavi Board has expressed
its support for Gavi to partner with others to make affordable vaccines available
and accessible to those most in need and planning for deployment of vaccine s so
they can be delivered as soon as they are available.
Questions this paper addresses
? What progress has Gavi made together with partners in securing access to
sufficient and timely supply to suitable COVID -19 vaccines and planning for
future delivery inc luding potential requirements for cold chain equipment ?
Conclusions
The Access to C ovid Tools (ACT) Accelerator has been established as a
collaboration mechanism for COVID -19 diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines.
Within the ACT Accelerator Vaccines Pillar, Gavi is leading a workstream on
vaccine procurement and delivery at -scale, while the Coalition for Epidemic
Preparedness Innovations (CEPI ) is leading on development and manufacturing
and WHO is leading on policy and allocation. All three partners have committed to
working together closely to support a seamless effort toward the rapid dev elopment
and equitable delivery of COVID -19 vaccines.
With regards to securing supply of COVID -19 vaccines , Gavi , together with
partners, has launched the COVID -19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) Facility.
The Facility aims to pool demand and resources tow ard securing access to future
supply of COVID -19 vaccines. All countries are invited to participate in th is global
Facility, which will utilise a mix of manufacturer -specific volume guar antees and
market -wide demand guarantee s. The Secretariat is continuing to work closely
with stakeholders to complete the design and begin operation alisation of the
Facility , including raising the necessary funding .
Coordination across the ACT Vaccines Pillar workstreams will be essential t o
ensure that characterist ics of developed vaccines are appropriate for Gavi -
supported countries . Early discussions have been initiated within the Alliance on
potential vaccine use scenarios and the country -level planning, training and
community and social mobili sation interventions that will be required for successful

Board -2020 -Mtg -3-Doc 06


Section A: Executive Summary
Purpose of the report
Following discussion s at the October 2019 and May 2020 Programme and Policy
Committee (PPC) meetings , the Board is requested to provide guidance on the
Gavi 5.0 measurement framework. An Alliance Technical Working Group (TWG)
is advising on development of the framework and e nsuring alignment with
Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030). An iterative process with broad consultations
to vet indicators has included consultations with countries, partners, Civil Society
Organisations and other Alliance stakeholders at the Gavi 5.0 Count ries and
Partners Retreat.
Questions this paper addresses
? How is the 5.0 measurement framework being developed?
? Which indicators are currently suggested for 5.0 strategy performance
monitoring, at which levels, and which require further development?
? How do es the COVID -19 pandemic affect finalisation of the 5.0
measurement framework?
The COVID -19 pandemic will delay finalisation of the 5.0 measurement framework,
largely due to the challenge of setting targets given uncertain 2020 baselines .
Section B: Gavi 5.0: Measurement Framework/Strategy Indicators
Facts and Data
1.1 Proposed Gavi 5.0 mission and strategy indicators are intended to measure
progress towards the goals and objectives as described in the Gavi 5.0
strategy framework ?one -pager? ( Annex A), approved by the Board in June
2019 . They focus on key portfolio -level impacts, outcomes or outputs , with
shared accountability across the Alliance . They represent a subset of the
metrics to be used for monitoring progress along Gavi?s result chai n.

Board -2019 -Mtg -3-Doc 07


Section A: Executive Summary
Context
Gavi has had a Gender Policy to guide its programmatic work since 2008 . The original
policy was updated in 2013 to the current version . The current policy has been
revised by the Secretariat following a review process which included an independent
external evaluation , analysis, and extensive consultation s with country
re presentatives, partners, civil society organisations, gender and immunisation
experts and donors. In May 2020, the Programme and Policy Committee (PPC)
recommended that the Board approve the revised Gender Policy , congratulating the
Secretariat on the highly consultative and inclusive review process.
Questions this paper addresses
? How has the Gender Policy been revised as a result of the review?
? What is the relevance of this policy to the COVID -19 pandemic?
Conclusions
Gavi?s Gender Policy aims to support Gavi?s bold aspiration of ?Leaving no one
behind with immunisation? and to strengthen vaccine programmes and health
systems to increase equity in imm unisation. The revisions seek to better align the
policy with Gavi?s strategy for 2021 -2025 (Gavi 5.0) . With equity as the organising
principle, it focuses on ensuring zero -dose and underimmunised children,
individuals and communities are sustainably reach ed with routine immunisation
services. The revised policy is more ambitious and identifies areas for gender -
responsive and transformative interventions, underpinned by an updated theory of
change which places a new focus on understanding, learning and part nering as
approaches to achieve the policy goals. It uses inclusive, non -binary language and
considers how other socio -cultural factors can compound gender -related barriers.
In addition to caregivers, the policy focuses on two new groups: healt h workers an d
adolescents, both of wh om face specific gender -related barriers to providing or
accessing healthcare.
The Secretariat is working closely with partners to better understand the gendered
impacts of the COVID -19 pandemic and proactively suggesting potential
approaches to addressing these challenges.
The Secretariat is presenting a revised Gender Policy to the Board for approval (see
Annex B).

Report to the Board
Board -2020 -Mtg -3-Doc 07-Annex A
Annex A: Implications
? Risk implication and mitigation, including information on the risks of
inaction . Gender has been identified as an important determinant of health and
immunisation outcomes . Inaction would result in Gavi not being able to reach
as many zero -dose and underimmunised children . ?G ender -focus? has been
elevated to a principle in Gavi 5.0, key to achieving the vision , so this policy
update is necessary to ensure Gavi programming is fit for purpose.
? Impact on countries. Gavi -supported c ountries will require support to identify
and address gender -related barriers. The 5.0 vision and this policy raise the
priority level of gender within the context of equity and countries will be
encouraged to programme their health system strengthening funding to find and
reach zero -dose and underimmunised children, an important part of which is
addressing gender considerations.
? Impact on Alliance. As a cross -cutting policy, the success of implementation
will be driven in large part by Alliance partners who will play an integral role in
supporting achievement of the policy objectives. A deliverable of the policy is
to ?Partner? effectively , which includes mainstreaming gender throughout the
Alliance to ensure alignment on goals regarding gender. Implementation of
more gender -focused activities will be supported through Gavi?s different
funding channels and through its engagement with partners.
? Legal and governance implications. There are no legal implications with
respec t to the content of this report. The gender balance of governance
structures has been reviewed alongside the policy review and can be found in
Doc 01f .

Definitions
o Zero -dose children are those who have not receive d any routine vaccine. For
operational purposes, Gavi measures zero -dose children as those who have not
received their first dose of diphtheria -tetanus -pertussis containing vaccine (DTP1).
o Under immunised individuals include children, adolescents and adults that are
missing their full course of vaccination.
o Caregiver is a person who regularly or intermittently cares for an infant or child.
Examples include mothers, fathers, grandparents and siblings .
o Sex refers to the biological characteristics that define humans as female, male or
intersex and is typically assigned at birth.
o Gender is about the roles, norms and behaviours that society consider s appropriate
for women, men, girls, boys, and those with diverse gender identities , such as
transgender . These are socially constructed , fluid , and var y widely within and across
time, cultures, religions, class and ethnicity.
o Gender -related barrier s are related to deep rooted social and cultural norms about
the roles of women, men , and those with diverse gender identities , that create
obstacles to equitable access and use of health services . For example, when
caregivers, primarily women , have not completed secondary educat ion , lack decision -
making power, or are unable to move freely outside their homes, there is a greater
likelihood that they will not take their children to get vaccinated . In addition, lack of
male en gagement can contribute to poor child health outcomes .
o Intersectionali ty refers to the overlap between multiple forms of inequality or
discrimination which create obstacles for individuals, for example, access and use of
health services. Gender identity can intersect with additional factors, including but not
limited to age, geographical location, education, ethnicity, religion, class,
socioeconomic status, disability, migration/refugee status, sexual orientation.
o Gender equity is the process of being f air to women , men and those with diverse
gender identitie s. It recogniz es that individual s of different gender identities have
different needs, power and access to resources, which should be identified and
addressed to rectif y the imbalance . Addressing gender e quity leads to equality .
o Gender equality is the absence of discrimination based on a person?s sex or gender
identity . It means ensuring that the same opportunity is accessible to each person such
as access to and control of social, economic and political resources, including
protection under the law ( e.g. , health services, education and voting rights).
o Gender -responsive approaches adopt a gender lens to consider individual needs of
different gender identities without necessarily chang ing the larger contextual issues
that lie at the root of the gender inequities and inequalities . For example, employing
female health workers will facilitate enhance d immunisation service acceptance and
uptake, but would not address the underlying cultural barrier that prevents female
caregivers from seeking immunisation services from male health workers.
o Gender -transformative approaches are those that attempt to re -define and change
existing gender roles , norms, attitudes and practices. These interventions tackle the
root cause s of gender inequity and inequality and reshape unequal power relations.

Monitoring Framework
The implementation and adherence to the Gender Policy will be monitored by the Gavi Secretariat
on an ongoing basis. This policy also points to the need for better data to be able to assess the
need for, and progress of, interventions to tackle gender -related barriers. The implementation of
the policy will be monitored at the strategic, process and country -levels. With the implementation
of Gavi?s new strategy beginning in 2021 these indicators and monitoring processes are subject
to ev olution and addition.
Strategy -level
Gavi?s strategy for 2021 -2025 (Gavi 5.0) includes a principle around ?gender -focus?. Monitoring of
gender -related performance will sit under Strategic Goal 2: Strengthen health systems to increase
equity in immunisatio n. The specifics will be detailed in strategic implementation monitoring
documents.
Process -level
Gavi?s progress in implementing the policy will be monitored through process -level indicators on
an annual basis, where possible. These process -level indicat ors map to the six deliverables
articulated in the Policy and theory of change and will be monitored at an aggregate level across
countries or Alliance partners, and not at individual country or partner level. As gender -related
barriers are highly context specific, outcomes will not be monitored at aggregate level but rather
country by country, as described in the following section. The process -level indicators will be
refined and finalised alongside the new strategy, and include, but not be limited to, tra cking the
following activities:
Understand
? Number of people trained in gender with Gavi funds (disaggregated by place of work:
Gavi Secretariat, Alliance partner, country EPI programme)
? % of teams mainstreaming gender into their processes and deliverables
Advocate
? Number of priority public policy outcomes for which Gavi has driven inclusion of gender
language and positioning (at global, regional and country levels)
? % of countries that include gender -related activities in their National Immunisa tion Strategies
Identify
? % of countries demonstrating that they have assessed gender -related barriers to
accessing immunisation services as part of their broader analysis of barriers to reaching
zero dose (using for example, equity assessment, gender situa tional reports)
Reach
? % of countries prioritising at least one intervention to tackle gender -related barriers
? % of countries budgeting for at least one intervention to tackle gender -related barriers
? % of countries tracking their progress in tackling gend er-related barriers with at least one
context -relevant indicator
? % of HPV support applications that plan for integrated services for adolescents
