Doc 01e - Annex A
1. Purpose
1.1 In developing this Restrictive Measures Compliance Policy (hereinafter referred to as the
' Policy '), Gavi reaffirms its commitment to the mission of helping to save lives and
improving people's health. Our dedication extends to careful compliance with applicable
laws and regulations, donor commitments and ensuring that every action also aligns with
the ethical principles that guide our endeavors.
1.2 Gavi approaches compliance with the seriousness it deserves, understanding that while
restrictive measures are not intended to obstruct the provision of vaccines, promoting
health and other types of assistance, they do apply and necessitate thorough due
diligence. In navigating this regulatory landscape, we are conscious of the extensive array
of exceptions and licenses related to the restrictive measures in place and available to
balance the need to ensure delivery of life- saving vaccines and related activities.
1.3 This Policy provides guidance to enhance understanding and raise awareness among all
Gavi Staff, regarding their restrictive measures compliance responsibilities and how to
address the potential compliance risks they may encounter.
2. Principles
2.1 Commitment to operate ethically: Gavi is committed to upholding the highest standards
of ethical conduct, legal compliance, and social responsibility in its global operations. As
such, compliance with relevant restrictive measures is key to our mission and values.
2.2 Focus on Gavi’s mission: Gavi’s overarching focus will always be on providing health
support to those in need as defined in its mission and strategy . Compliance to restrictive
measures is an essential tool to ensure that the funds and activities conducted for global
health purposes and broader strengthening of health systems are not being diver ted.
Where there is potential disruption to fulfilling Gavi’s mission, we will seek necessary
exceptions and authori sations to ensure the provision of essential vaccines and related
support to countries without compromising these principles .
2.3 Risk based and principle -based approach: Gavi's approach to compliance with
restrictive measures is founded on a risk -based methodology, ensuring that our
compliance measures are proportionate, effective, and tailored to address potential risks.
In recognition of Gavi’s mission, we commit to avoiding unnecessary or excessive
restrictions that may impede the timely provision of vaccines and healt h system
infrastructure .
2. 4 Consistency and transparency: Gavi’s approach to restrictive measures compliance is
based on consistent application of measures across all activities and maintaining
transparency in dealings with third parties.
3. Definitions
3.1 Restrictive measures: a set of requirements arising from nationally -set, international or
UN- applied decisions (i. e., sanctions) that could restrict the provision of funds and
resources to designated entities or persons, as well as the broader restrictions on specific
business activities within particular economic sectors/territories .

Rapport au Conseil d’administration
6-7 juin 202 4

R apport de la Directrice exécutive
Le 30 mai 202 4

Chers membre s du Conseil d’administration ,

Cela fait un peu plus de deux mois que j'ai pris mes fonctions, mais nous avons déjà
accompli beaucoup de choses ensemble. Nous avons notamment jeté les bases du
renforcement de notre Secrétariat et de la reconstitution des ressources, dont la
réussite con ditionne le succès de la stratégie Gavi 6.0. J'ai le plaisir de vous présenter
ce rapport avant notre réunion de juin, au cours de laquelle vous aurez à adopter
grandes lignes de cette stratégie 6.0.

Ce rapport est divisé en deux parties. La première traite des mesures immédiates que
j'ai prises au cours des deux derniers mois pour répondre aux cinq priorités urgentes
que j'ai identifiées à l’issue de mes dix premiers jours à la tête de Gavi. La second e
présente les objectifs et les grandes lignes de mon plan d’action en 180 jours. Fondé
sur les informations recueillies et les analyses effectuées au cours des deux derniers
mois, ce plan d’action a pour but d’optimiser la capacité du Secrétariat à attein dre les
objectifs de la stratégie Gavi 5.1 et de préparer notre organisation à mettre en œuvre
la stratégie Gavi 6.0 pour la nouvelle période quinquennale et au -delà.

Les deux premiers mois : état d’avancement des cinq priorités

1. Développement de la sixième stratégie de Gavi : Gavi 6.0

Dès mon premier jour à la tête de Gavi, la priorité absolue a été l’élaboration de la
stratégie Gavi 2026 -2030 (Gavi 6.0), sixième cycle stratégique quinquennal de notre
organisation.

Le quatrième jour, j'ai organisé un atelier d'une journée sur le thème , "Prise de
recul sur Gavi 6.0 " ( Gavi 6.0 Step Back ) qui a été suivi de toute une série de réunions,
lesquelles ont ensuite permis d'établir un plan de travail au jour le jour . Ce plan de
travail a été suivi méticuleusement, ce qui a permis aux équipes de présenter des
analyses suffisamment détaillées pour étayer les discussions menées dans le but de
trouver un compromis lors de la retraite du Conseil d’administration, alimente r les
délib érations du Comité des Programmes et des Politiques (CPP), et enfin permettre
d’étayer les discussions lors de la réunion du Conseil d’administration.

En accompagnant ainsi les équipes du Secrétariat, j'ai surtout cherché à créer un
espace dans lequel les membres du Conseil d'administration se sentent libres
d'exprimer leurs divergences d'opinion sachant que, dans certains domaines, il va
falloir faire des choix qui vont nécessiter des compromis qui risquent d’être difficiles à
trouver. Seule une communication ouverte et transparente permettra d’atteindre un

Report of the Chief Executive Officer
30 May 202 4

Dear Members of the Board

It has been a little over two months since I took post, but we have already achieved
much together to lay the foundations for the strengthening of our Secretariat and for
the successful replenishment that we need to make the Gavi 6.0 strategy a success.
It is my pleasure to submit this report ahead of our June meeting, at which you will set
the broad parameters of that 6.0 strategy.

The report is organised in two parts. The first part deals with the immediate actions I
have taken over the past two months to execute against the five urgent priorities I
identified after my first ten days at Gavi. The second part sets out the objectives and
outline of my 180 -day plan, guided by evidence gathered and analyses undertaken
over the past two months, that will optimise the capabilities of the Secretariat to deliver
on our 5.1 goals, and prime the organisation to execute the Gavi 6.0 strategy an d
beyond.

The first two months: progress against five priorities

1. Supporting the development of Gavi’s sixth strategy: Gavi 6.0

Supporting the development of the Gavi 2026 –2030 Strategy (Gavi 6.0), the
organisation’s sixth five -year strategic cycle, has been an overriding priority since my
first day at Gavi.

On my fourth day in the office, I convened a ‘Gavi 6.0 Step Back’ full -day workshop ,
with a series of follow -up meetings, which then informed a daily workplan . This plan
has been followed in earnest, ensuring the teams were able to present detailed
analyses to support the Board retreat trade -off discussions, inform the Programme
and Policy Committee (PPC) deliberations, and ultimately support an informed
discus sion at the Board meeting.

My primary focus in supporting the Secretariat teams has been to create room to
acknowledge the difficult trade -offs required in certain areas, and to provide a space
in which Board members feel free to express differences of opinions . A durable
consensus must be born of open communication and transparency.

I have been steadfast in ensuring the Secretariat’s role is to provide the analyses and
information to inform Board discussions and decisions, but not to forge consensus.
This requires the Secretariat to provide transparent information with granular
analyses . This is a critical priority for me, and I have been working with the teams to

Report to the Board
6-7 June 202 4
Annex A: Technical report on Gavi 5.0/5.1 indicators
This is a technical report providing definitions of and progress against Mission and
Strategy Goal indicators in the Gavi 5.0/5.1 measurement framework. The technical
report is populated based on available data and updated bi -annually. The newly
available data for 2023 included in this report relates to Mission Goal M1 and Strategy
Goals S1.4, S3.1, S3.3, and SG4.
Note on target trajectories:
In the below graphs, the dotted lines represent the projected annual trajectory that was
forecasted when we set 2025 targets with the PPC/Board in May 2021; our assumption
was that coverage would return to 2019 coverage levels in 2021, with the exception o f
India which would take until 2022. This was noted in a footnote in the PPC paper at
the time (in May 2021 PPC meeting book: Doc 04 Gavi 5.0 Measurement Framework ):

To account for COVID -19 -related disruptions and recovery, it is assumed that vaccine
coverage returns to 2019 levels by 2021, with the exception of India, which we assume
returns to 2019 levels in 2022 and sub -national three doses of pneumococcal conjugate
vaccine (PCV3) scale up takes an additional year.


Gavi 5.0 Mission Indicators

M.1: Under -five mortality rate – Updated April 2024


By increasing access to immunisation and
enabling equal access to new and underused
vaccines, Gavi support is contributing to the
reduction in under -five deaths from vaccine -
preventable diseases.

Gavi countries saw an under -five mortality rate of
53.6 deaths per 1,000 live births in 202 2. At the
portfolio level we are well o n track to reach the
10% reduction target by 2025 – as of 202 2, Gavi
countries have achieved a 9% reduction from
baseline.


M.2: Number of future deaths averted with Gavi support – Updated September 202 3


This indicator estimates the impact of Gavi -
supported vaccinations in terms of averting future
deaths from vaccine -preventable diseases.
More than 2.4 million future deaths have been
averted by Gavi -supported vaccinations in 5.0
through 2022. The cumulative number of deaths
averted from 2000 through 2022 is more than 17.3
million .

This indicator will be updated in September 2024.

1.1 In 2023, Gavi’s Board approve d changes to the Alliance Risk Appetite
Statement by reduc ing the current risk appetite (balanced) for V accine -
Preventable Diseases (VPD) outbreaks to low while maintaining the current risk
appetite (low) for campaigns undermining routine immunisation being of low
quality .
1.2 In 2024, the Ethics, Risk and Compliance office (ERCO) is pursuing a holistic
review of the Alliance Risk Appetite Statement through a two -phased approach:
1.2.1 Operationali sing , through development of guidance , the latest Board -
approved Risk Appetite Statement aligned with Gavi 5.1 strategy to help
Gavi’s staff interpret the Risk Appetite Statement and make conscious
and consistent risk -based decisions, in line with the defined risk appetite ;
and
1.2.2 Updating the Risk Appetite Statement following the approval of Gavi 6.0
strategy by the Board in June 2024 to ensure that the risk acceptability
levels applied by the Alliance as of 2026 are aligned with the new
objectives and strategic goals. Th e updated version of the Risk Appetite
Statement will be submitted for Board approval during the 2025
governance cycle and will come into force at the same time as the Gavi
6.0 strategy .
1. 3 Both the operationali sation of the latest Board -approved Risk Appetite
Statement and its update in light of Gavi 6.0 strategy will imply several in -depth
consultations with Risk Owners, Senior Leadership Team (SLT), Alliance
Partners and Board Committees members to ensure an inclusive review
process.
1.3.1 For the operationali sation of the latest Board -approved Risk Appetite
Statement (related to Gavi 5.1 strategy), Programme and Policy
Committee member s and Audit and Finance Committee members will
be consulted between Ju ly and October 2024 to review guidance related
to programmatic risk appetite ;
1.3.2 For the update of the Risk Appetite Statement considering Gavi 6.0
strategy, members of the Audit and Finance Committee and of the
Programme and Policy Committee as well as all relevant internal and
external stakeholders will be consulted from July 2024 to December
2025 to review and/or approve both the updated Risk Appetite levels and
the related operationali sation plans ; and
1.3.3 ERCO will share in advance a detailed consultation timeline with all
relevant stakeholders.

Category For Information

Executive Summary
This report provides a progress update on the implementation of the Gavi
5.0/5.1 strategy, programmes and partnerships and associated risks 1. As
WHO -UNICEF estimates of national immunisation coverage (WUENIC) for 2023 will
be released in July 2024, the paper focuses on quantitative updates of strategy
indicators for which new 2023 data is available, as well as a more qualitative
perspective of p rogress 2. Early indications from administrative data suggest
countries have sustained coverage gains in 2022 into 2023 with a ~ 1% increase
in number vaccinated with third dose of diphtheria -tetanus -pertussis (DTP)
containing vaccine in 2023. However , the number of routine introductions of new
vaccines and planned preventative campaigns in 2023 are below target.
Despite delays in 2023, the Alliance remains on track in supporting countries to
reach introduction targets for the Gavi 5.0 / 5.1 period. The number of vaccine
preventable disease (VPD) outbreaks remains high, necessitating close
monitoring and continued support. The Alliance continues to work on delivering
its three Gavi 5.1 programmatic ‘must -wins’ . The revitalisation of the human
papillomavirus vaccine (HPV) programme remains on track to reach 86 million
girls by the end of 2025 if supply materiali ses as expected . The rollout of the
malaria programme is also on track with 22 applications approved to date, in
line with targets. To ensure a holistic approach to malaria prevention and control,
close collaboration between Gavi and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis
and Malaria (‘Global Fund’) is being stepped up (see Doc 0 8). Good progress has
also been made on the third must win: reaching zero -dose children by
accelerating implementation of the Equity Accelerator Fund (EAF) and
operationalising the Big Catch -Up (BCU). In 2023 countries contributed
US $ 215 million in co -financing, a 33% increase on 2022 , and did so in a timel ier
manner than before the pandemic. Co -financing accounted for 23% of the costs of
Gavi -supported vaccines, up from 10% a decade ago. To ensure successful delivery
of Gavi 5.1 priorities and get ready for Gavi 6.0, the Secretariat has continued to
implement its ambitious Operational Excellence (OE) agenda.

Gavi Alliance
Protection against Sexual Exploitation,
Abuse and Harassment Policy
1. Purpose
1.1. Sexual Exploitation and Abuse are grave breach of trust, and a betrayal of Gavi’s
mandate for saving lives in often vulnerable contexts. Sexual Harassment and
other forms of Harassment are a manifestation of a culture of discrimination and
privilege based on unequal gender relations. Both underm ine the fundamental
rights of all those whom Gavi serves and everyone who works for Gavi to be treated
with dignity and respect.
1.2. This Policy introduces the Gavi Alliance (Gavi’s) approach to the protection of
children and adults against Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment.
1.3. This Policy also serves to ensure effective implementation of the Ethics, Risk and
Compliance Charter as well as Gavi’s PSEAH Strategy (2023) and annual work
plan which outlines the priorities and activities to be undertaken each year to
advance Gavi’s pre vention of sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment
(“PSEAH”) commitments and principles.
2. Principles and commitments
2.1. Zero tolerance: Gavi does not tolerate any form of sexual exploitation, abuse, or
harassment by governance and advisory officials, Gavi Staff or those of its partners
working on Gavi programmes. All Gavi Staff are explicitly prohibited from engaging
in any activity that results in any kind of sexual exploitation, abuse, harassment or
failure to follow good safeguarding practices towards any person, and in particular
children or at -risk adults. Gavi expects its partners to adopt a comparable
approach. Gavi w ill always respond to any known instance of sexual exploitation,
abuse or harassment in its programmes. Similarly, Gavi expects its own Staff to
pass on any reports of sexual exploitation, abuse or harassment to the appropriate
reporting channels and will not accept any failure by its Staff to do so.
2.2. Response to sexual exploitation and abuse: Sexual exploitation and abuse by
Gavi Staff constitutes gross misconduct. We expect the highest standards of
behaviour from all Gavi Staff, and we seek to prevent abusers entering our
organisation. Any Gavi Staff found to have engaged in sexual exploitati on or abuse
or failure to follow good safeguarding practices has committed gross misconduct
and will face disciplinary measures under Gavi’s Investigation and Disciplinary
Procedures which may result in summary dis missal. Examples of sexual
exploitation and abuse include transactional sex, soliciting transactional sex,
sexual assault, rape, or any type of sexual activity with a child. If Gavi becomes
aware of any sexual exploitation or abuse by non -Gavi staff working on Gavi
programmes, we will work with the appropriate partner organisation to ensure it is
properly addressed. This may ultimately involve referring the matter to the
appropriate law enforcement authorities. Sexual exploitation and abuse by
governance and advisory officials and third parties constitute breaches and may
result in appropriate sanctions.
2.3. Response to sexual harassment: Sexual harassment by Gavi Staff may
constitute gross misconduct. Any Gavi Staff found to have engaged in sexual
harassment will face disciplinary measures under Gavi’s Investigation and
Disciplinary Procedures. If Gavi becomes aware of any sexual harassm ent by non -
Gavi staff working on Gavi programmes, we will work with the appropriate partner
organisation to ensure it is properly addressed. This may ultimately involve

Board-2024- Mtg-02-Investment Committee Chair Report
Report to the Board
6-7 June 2024

Subject Investment Committee Chair Report
Category For Information
Section A: Introduction
• This report provides the Board with an overview of the activities of the
Investment Committee ( “Committee” ) since the Committee Chair last reported
to the Board in December 2023. The Committee met twice in 1H 2024. Three
key topics covered were (1) portfolio performance; (2) private assets
implementation; and (3) sustainable investment review.
• All values are reported as of 31 March 202 4. The long- term portfolio value is
US$ 1 ,385 million including advanced contribution and cash held at custodian,
an increase of US$ 137 million from the value last reported at the December
2023 board meeting. The long- term portfolio does not have cash inflows so t he
increase is solely related to performance.
• For the trailing 12 months ending 31 March, the long -term portfolio delivered
+14.6% versus +11.0% , or +3.6% of excess performance. Calendar year 2023
performance was also very strong: +13.2% versus the policy index return of
+11.8% . or excess performance of + 1.4%. The long- term portfolio delivered five
consecutive calendar years of excess performance (2019 through 2023).
• Strong performance of global financial markets has been driven by a resilient
economy , consumer spending, and technological innovation. Sticky US inflation
and higher -for -longer interest rates pose a potential threat to the financial
market s in the second half of the year.
• Performance results were strong across the major asset classes in the long-
term portfolio. For the trailing twelve months ending 31 March 2024, f ixed
income (37% of portfolio) was the strongest performer on a relative basis,
outperforming its m arket benchmark by + 7.0%. Diversifiers (17% of portfolio)
outperformed its market benchmark by + 2.3%. Equities (45 % of portfolio) trailed
its market benchmark by - 0.5% but strong performance from the asset class on
an absolute basis helped overall portfolio performance. The private assets
allocation is de minimus (1%) and its illiquidity also means performance
measurement is less frequent.
• The private assets implementation that began in 2023 continues into 2024 as
part of a high priority, multi-year buildout. Private assets include private equity
and real estate. In 2023 the Investments team initiated the private equity
allocation , making commitments to three managers. Weighing the impact of
higher interest rates on real estate, the Committee’s guidance was to delay real
estate implementation until 2024.

05 Annex B Narrative for Gavi 6 0 the Alliance 2026 pdf



Board -2024 -Mtg -02 -Doc 05 -Annex B 1


Report to the Board
6-7 June 2024
Annex B: Narrative for Gavi 6.0, the Alliance’s 2026 – 2030 strategy
This document provides the strategic narrative for the Gavi 6.0 ‘one -pager
framework ’, providing more background for each of its key elements.

1. Vision: Gavi ’s vision of ‘leaving no one behind with immuni sation’
recognises the link to the SDG ambition and the critical contribution of
immunisation to it . The vision highlights the opportunity to reach all children
with immunisation by the end of the SDG era . It remains relevant for the 2026
– 2030 period, and in line with the Immunisation Agenda 2030 . It will therefore
remain unchanged.
2. Mission : In line with the vision, Gavi’s mission continue s to be ‘to save
lives and protect people’s health by increasing coverage and equitable
use of vaccines ’. Th is mission was revised for Gavi 5.0 and put s ‘equity’ at the
heart of the Alliance’s strategy. It recognises that the access and use of
vaccines protect s people at all stages of life ; preventing both the primary
causes of mortality in children (including diarrhoea and pneumonia) and
cancers later in life triggered by vaccine -preventable infections (such as
cervical cancer from HPV and liver cancer from hepatitis B) , and protecting
against epidemics and pandemics .
3. Principles : Most principles remain unchanged or see targeted updates
compared to Gavi 5.1 . A new principle on climate change has been added.
3.1 “Country -led, sustainable: bolster country leadership to sustainably finance
and deliver immunisation .” This principle , alongside the second one, has been
moved up to signal the importance of country led approaches and community
engagement in Gavi 6.0 , including in priority setting for immunisation .
3.2 “Community -owned, inclusive: engage communities and civil society
organisations in planning, implementation and oversight of immunisation .”
3.3 “Zero dose and missed communities, first priority: prioritise children
missing out on vaccination, including among migrants, displaced and other
vulnerable populations .” This principle signals Gavi’s core focus on the equity
agenda, further described under Strategic Goal 2 ( Section 5). It will remain
Gavi’s core programmatic priority.
3.4 “G ender -focused: identify and address gender -related barriers to promote
immunisation equity .” Building on the learnings from Gavi 5.1, the Alliance will
continuously enhance its approach to gender -responsive programming and
gender equity, benefits both vaccinees and vaccinators (see Section 5).
3.5 “D ifferentiated, fragility -responsive: target and tailor support to regional,
national and subnational needs, including fragile, conflict and humanitarian
contexts .” Gavi -eligible countries have a wide range of performance, with an
increasing share facing significant systemic challenges. The Alliance will further
support countries to differentiate their interventions, prioritising, targeting and

Board -2024 -Mtg -02-Doc 05 -Annex C 1
Report to the Board
6-7 June 202 4
Annex C: Gavi 6.0 - High level approach to operationalising the new strategy
1. Following Board consideration of Gavi 6.0 in June 2024, the Secretariat
will start operationalising the new strategy, with the aim to conclude by
December 2025. Gavi 5.1 execution will, however, remain the priority over the
next 18 months. The operationalisation will build on lessons learned from recent
external evaluations 1. Based on early planning, the operationalisation will be
structured around five workstreams and informed by the latest financial forecast
for Gavi 6.0. The operationalisation will build on lessons learned from recent
external evaluations. A strategic coordination mechanism will ensure alignment
and progress of the workstreams in the Secretariat.
i. Workstream 1: Development of a theory of change and measurement
framework . The Secretariat will translate the Gavi 6.0 ‘one -pager’ into a
Gavi 6.0 ‘theory of change’. The theory of change will provide the basis for
the Gavi 6.0 measurement framework, including the indicators (incl. final
mission indicators) and targets that wil l be brought to the Gavi Board for
approval in 2025.
ii. Workstream 2: Finalisation of key sub -strategies. These sub -strategies
or approaches will include (i) the Health Systems Strategy (with work
already ongoing since September 2023; see Doc 06b ); (ii) Gavi’s new
approach to Fragile, Conflict, and Humanitarian settings; and (iii) Gavi’s
Climate Change approach. These will be developed in the second half of
2024 and first half of 2025. Gavi’s market shaping strategy is also subject
to updates in 2 025.
iii. Workstream 3: Updates of Gavi’s programmatic policies . The updates
will include the review of the Eligibility and Transition Policies; the Co -
financing Policy and the Health Systems and Immunisation Strengthening
Policy to hardwire the evolution of Gavi’s support into its funding policies.
These will be brou ght to Board for approval in the second half of 2024 and
first half of 2025.
iv. Workstream 4: Evolution of the Alliance partnership approach. This
will involve enabling the Partner Engagement Framework (PEF) to support
a new partnership agenda, including the consolidation of global and
regional funding mechanisms for strengthened coordination, accountability,
and impact. New partnerships at loc al and regional level will be designed
and implemented to deliver on Gavi 6.0 priorities, such as those focusing
on PHC and engagement in Fragile, Conflict, and Humanitarian settings,
including w ith the private sector. Additionally, the Alliance will continue
efforts to drive collaboration with other global health initiatives, such as the
Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in line with the Lusaka
Agenda, and forge new innovative f inancing partnerships, e.g. with
multilateral development banks.

05 Gavi 6 0 The Alliance Strategy 2026 2030 pdf



Board -2024 -Mtg -02-Doc 05 1
Report to the Board
6-7 June 2024

Subject Gavi 6.0 – The Alliance’s strategy 2026 -2030
Agenda item 05
Category For Decision

Executive Summary
This paper provides an overview and seeks approval of the Alliance’s 2026 -2030
strategy (‘Gavi 6.0’), grounded in its vision, mission, strategic goals, objectives,
operating principles and enablers. Led by the Board, the Gavi 6.0 design started in
March 2023, informed by a country -centr ic, consultative process. Gavi 6.0 will be an
ambitious yet realistic strategy that is based on Gavi’s core mandate, country needs
and capacity, fiscal context and the Alliance’s comparative advantage. Responding
to key contextual shifts in the world, sign ificant impact can be expected from Gavi
6.0 in line with the Alliance’s vision of ‘leaving no one behind with immunisation’:
• access to the widest, most innovative portfolio of critical life -saving vaccines
ever, vaccinating >500 million more children and adolescents, and saving 8 -9
million more lives;
• accelerating Gavi’s equity agenda, contributing to the Immunisation Agenda (IA)
2030’s ambition to reduce zero -dose children by 50%, integrated with primary
health care (PHC);
• enhancing Gavi’s eligibility, co -financing and transition model, ensuring it
protects Gavi’s investments and addresses inequities in access to vaccines in
middle income countries (MICs);
• stronger global health security building on the lessons from Gavi’s outbreak
response and COVAX. Ensuring that Gavi’s programmes make climate change
adaptation 1 and mitigation 2 part and parcel;
• streamlining the Secretariat operating model and revamping the Alliance model
for fragile, conflict, and humanitarian settings to better reach left behind children
with life -saving vaccines; and
• starting the next chapter in building new partnerships including with regional
organisations such as the African Union Commission and African Centres for
Disease Control and with other Global Health Institutions in line with the Lusaka
Agenda.
The document also presents the indicative strategic cost estimate for the new
strategy.

1 Climate change adaptation: The process of adjustment to actual or expected climate and its effects, in order to moderate harm or exploit beneficial opportunities. 2 Climate change mitigation: Human intervention to reduce emissions or enhance the sinks of greenhouse gases.

and Middle -Income Countries Approach
Agenda item 06a
Category For Guidance

Executive Summary
This report provide s an overview of the key shifts considered for the
enhanced eligibility, transition, and co -financing model (ELTRACO), and the
Middle -Income Countries (MICs) approach in Gavi 6.0. Gavi’s ELTRACO model
is widely regarded as a success story, with nineteen countries having transitioned
out of Gavi support to date. In response to the e volving context marked by a
challengin g macro -economic outlook, growing risks of unsuccessful transition of a
subset of countries, and growing inequities in access t o immunisation in lower
middle -inco me countries, the Board as part of the design of Gavi 6.0 1 has explor ed
opportunities to improve Gavi’s approach to building programmatic and financial
sustainability of immunisation programmes in the next strategic period . It provided
guidance that successful transitions should remain a cornerstone of the Gavi model
in the next strategic period and beyond, and therefore to significantly enhance the
current ELTRACO model and MICs approach. The enhanced model introduces six
main shifts to mitigate the risks of countries defaulting on their co -financing
obligations ; to slow down the acceleration of co -financing obligations 2 in Gavi -
eligible countries ; and to ensure successful transitions. The current MICs approach
becomes the new post -transition Catalytic phase of the ELTRACO model to improve
immunisation outcomes in a subset of Former - and Never -Gavi -eligible countries.
Lastly, a learning agenda is developed to test some elements of a transition by
vaccine model. At its May 2024 meeting, the Programme and Policy Committee
(PPC ) largely supported and further concretised the general ‘direction of travel’ from
the Board discussions , pending further detailed design deliberations as part of the
upcoming Funding Policy Review (FPR) , in particular on updating Gavi’s eligibility
indicators and threshold in Gavi 6.0 .
Action Requested of the Board
The Gavi Alliance Board is requested to :
a) Provide guidance on the additional recommendations provided by the Gavi
Alliance Programme and Policy Committee in May 2024 as an input into the
Funding Policy Review .
1 The future ELTRACO model and MICs approach in Gavi 6.0 have been an integral part of the Board’s
deliberations on Gavi 6.0, including through, a ‘virtual Board/PPC mini workshop’ in October 2023, a Board/PPC
Technical Briefing in November 2023, a Gavi 6.0 costing deep dive in April 2024 and the Board retreats in
December 2023 and April 2024. In addition, an informal Gavi 6.0 Board Task Team was established to shepherd
the development of the ELTRACO/MICs approach from January to March 2024. 2 Co -financin g in this document refers to co -financed and fully self -financed Gavi vaccines programmes by Gavi -

06b Annex A Implications and Anticipated Impact pdf



Board -2024 -Mtg -02-Doc 06b -Annex A 1
Report to the Board
6-7 June 202 4
Annex A: Implications and Anticipated Impact

Risks and mitigation:
• Risk of insufficient or slow operationalisation of HS Strategy shifts by the
Alliance , including in -country stakeholders and partners. This is exacerbated by
the interdependencies with other important changes being introduced in Gavi 6.0
including implementation of EVOLVE (Doc 10a) and potential redesign of Gavi
policies, funding levers and processes. To mitigate, an implementation and
socialisation plan will be co -developed with Secretariat teams and Alliance
partners as part of operationalisation of the HS strategy.
• Risk that resources and capacities are inadequate to achieve all results:
There remains considerable risk that countries will not be able to accelerate
progress on all Gavi 6.0 goals given the projected reduction in the HSS funding
envelope compared to the original Gavi 5.0 budgets and constrained capacities at
the country, Alliance, and Secretariat levels. This will be particularly true if funding
efficiencies anticipated through funding levers consolidation are not materialised .
Without additional investm ent in vaccination touchpoints beyond infancy, it is also
likely that coverage rates will not reach levels of other Gavi -supported vaccines
and there is a risk that coverage of HPV vaccine may decline wants countries fully
utilise the vaccine introduction grants and campaign operational costs available in
the early years following introduction . Countries will need to mobilise domestic
resources for these efforts or leverage funding from other donors. The Alliance will
seek to mitigate this risk through the proposed approach to differentiate and
prioritise objectives across countries, and through enhanced partnership and co -
funding with other stakeholders.
• Risk that some shifts cause unintended reputational or programmatic
consequences , including in instances where Gavi significantly reduces a
country’s HSS ceiling or seeks to reduce support for recurrent costs (e.g., in
transitioning countries ), which could result in backsliding of immunisation
performance or pressure on other donors to support these costs in the absence of
government financing . Gavi intends to rol l out shifts in a phased approach and
prioriti se programme learning which will partially mitigate these risks and ensure
new approaches and policies do not credit undue complexity or harm towards
countries.
• Measurement risk and potential for misalignment of expectations with the
Board and key stakeholders: Even with greater investment and focus on
measurement, results of Gavi’s health systems investments will not always be
immediate, nor will they always be demonstrable through available data systems
or methods. Mitigation of this risk will require greater t ransparency and
communication from the Alliance on available data and causal pathways from Gavi
support to intended outcomes, as well as constructive and o pen dialogue with the
Board on reasonable expectations and outcomes from Gavi’s health systems
investments.

06b Annex B Gavi 6 0 cash funding and implications for countries pdf



Board -2024 -Mtg -02-Doc 06b -Annex B 1
Report to the Board
6-7 June 202 4
Annex B: Gavi 6.0 cash funding and implications for countries
In Gavi 6.0 funding for ‘other cash -based programmes’, defined as the support that has
historically been provided for health systems through HSS, CCEOP, and EAF funding levers,
may be reduced by approximately 15% from the originally planned Gavi 5.0 level, based on
the indicative guidance from the Board during its April 2024 retreat 1. This reduction is driven
by two factors (and illustrated in the slide below) :

1. Efficiencies in the use of Gavi ’s cash grants through the anticipated consolidation of
funding levers , with the expectation this will allow countries to plan more strategically ,
better allocate resources and reduce duplication between funding levers. Costing for
Gavi 6.0 assumed this will allow countries to achieve the same results with a 10%
lower ceiling.
2. Board guidance to reduce support for higher performing countries .

In addition, the Board chose not to make additional investments in health systems to
strengthen touchpoints beyond infancy or strengthen delivery of integrated primary healthcare
services as part of the zero -dose agenda.



These calculations do not yet reflect changes to the eligibility, transition and co -financing
(ELTRACO) policy which may mean countries becoming newly eligible or having an extension
of eligibility for HSS support in Gavi 6.0. This is partially accounted f or within the costing of the
proposed changes to the ELTRACO policies but early analysis based on the PPC
recommendations suggests that some share of these changes would also need to be
1 Actual disbursement has been lower than planned due to disruption caused by the COVID -19 pandemic but this
was more than offset by US $ 1 billion in COVID -19 delivery support projected to be disbursed in Gavi 5.0 / 5.1.
This has been used to fund many health systems priorities including cold chain equipment ; demand -side
interventions; strengthening leadership management and coordination; and service delivery including for the Big
Catch -Up. If CDS is included, the reduction in available resources is significantly larger.

Category For Guidance

Executive Summary
The purpose of this paper is to request Board guidance on the emerging direction
of Gavi’s first Health Systems (HS) Strategy. The final HS Strategy will come to the
Programme and Policy Committee ( PPC ) and Board for decision at the end of 2024.
Given the growing importance of health systems to many aspects of Gavi’s mission,
Gavi needs a clear HS Strategy that defines investment priorities and tradeoffs in
line with the Gavi 6.0 strategy and sharpens fo cus on the specific interventions
required to enhance immunisation delivery within a primary healthcare (PHC)
approach . This paper provides an overview and lessons from Gavi’s health systems
investments to date, and early thinking on a set of key shifts to address the problem
statements which were discussed with the Board in November 2023 . This paper has
been informed by guidance received from the Programme and Policy Committee at
its meeting on 15 -16 May 2024 , early direction from Gavi’s new CEO and by
consultations with countries and partners . It has been co -developed with the HS
Strategy Technical Advisory Group (TAG), which includes representatives from the
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, civil society organisations (CSOs), US Centers for
Disease Contro l (CDC), the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria
(Global Fund), UNICEF, the World Bank, and the World Health Organization (WHO).
The Health Systems Strategy has been an integral part of the Board’s deliberations
on Gavi 6.0, including through, a ‘virtual Board/PPC mini workshop’ in October 2023,
a Board/PPC Technical Briefing in November 2023, a Gavi 6.0 costing deep dive in
April 2 024, and the Board retreats in December 2023 and April 2024.
Action Requested of the Board
The Gavi Alliance Board is requested to provide guidance on early thinking on the
HS Strategy as described in this paper, including the proposed objectives , approach
to differentiation and to measurement .
Next steps/timeline
Following Board guidance on this paper, the Gavi 6.0 HS Strategy will be developed
in close consultation with the HS Technical Advisory Group and other stakeholders
as part of the Gavi 6.0 operationalisation process and will be brought to the October
2024 PPC meeting and to the December 2024 Board meeting for approval. The
strategy will be operationalised in 2025 for implementation starting in 2026 .

07 Appendix 2 Financial forecast impacts and risks pdf

1 Report to the Board
6 - 7 June 202 4
Appendix 2: General Overview: Forecast Process and Governance including
anticipated impact
Impact on countries
Approval of the Financial Forecast enables funding to be allotted to programmes in
accordance with the Programme Funding Policy.
Risk implication and mitigation, including information on the risks of inaction
Determination of Gavi’s financial capacity to approve the recommended decisions
relies on the Financial Forecast.
Macro risks that may impact the reliability of the financial forecast are described below,
as well as the mitigation strategies in place to address these risks. Please refer to the
main paper for detail and range forecasts of specific risks and opportuniti es to the
forecast.
One of those risks arises from exposure to foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations. In the forecast, non - USD pledges are valued at their USD equivalents
using the Bloomberg spot exchange rates when compiling the forecast (consistent with
the approach a greed with donors) or, where hedged, at the hedge rate. Pledges are
hedged progressively in accordance with the Board approved Treasury policy.
Gavi’s Cash and Investments Reserve provides a cushion for adverse fluctuations in
resources and expenditures. Gavi can also decline or defer funding requests based
on resource availability.
Risks associated with the financial forecast and mitigation
Factors that may impact the expenditure forecast include:
Demand volumes can vary significantly based on small changes in country
introduction assumptions. While the introduction assumptions made in the current
forecasts leverage the information readily available, there remains an inherent high
degree of uncertai nty on these assumptions. In addition, the assumptions on
introduction timing are often dependent on projections of when a country will no longer
be eligible for new Gavi support. This forecast represents the application of the current
Board approved Eligi bility and Transition Policy. Changes or exceptions to this policy
could vary demand significantly.
The expenditure forecast adjusts for performance risk at the portfolio level reflecting
the Secretariat’s current estimate of overall needs based on historic trends and
forecast country absorptive capacity. However actual expenditure could be higher or
low er than the financial forecast depending on actual country demand. Should
performance risk be lower than forecast, Gavi can decline or defer funding requests
based on resource availability.

Report to the Board
6-7 June 202 4
Annex A : Implications/Anticipated impact
• Risk implication and mitigation, including information on the risks of
inaction
○ Enhanced collaboration among Global Health Initiatives (GHIs) is essential to
mitigate potential risks due to fragmentation and competition among priorities
and resources and to increase impact , efficiency and sustainability , particularly
in a context of constrained resources .
○ Africa CDC is becoming an increasingly influential voice on matters pertaining
to public health on the African continent . Engagement helps promote mutually
beneficial posturing and programming , and avoids the risk of misalignment ,
which could undermine Gavi’s objectives in the geography with the greatest
number of Gavi -eligible countries .
• Impact on countries
○ Ensuring the collective and coordinated actions of GHIs are country -led and
demand driven will improve the efficiency and impact for countries and
communities , changing the power dynamic and increasing sustainability. The
efforts of the GHIs must not increase the burden on countries while improving
coo rdination towards greater financial and operational sustainability.
○ Africa CDC has a unique platform to engage at the most senior political lev els
of African Union member states . W orking with Africa CDC helps create a
positive enabling environment for immunisation in countries in Africa that
translates to increased emphasis on and support for the immunisation and
zero dose agenda .
• Impact on Alliance
○ Collaboration is core to how the Gavi model works as the Vaccine Alliance of
partners. While deepening the partnership with other GHIs, Gavi must ensure
that it brings the Alliance, not just Secretariat actions , into alignment with
country -led processes while also leveraging the strengths of each partner .
Clarifying the roles and responsibilities and mechanisms for coordinating
collective e fforts across partners early in the process will help to accelerate
efficient processes and impact .
○ Africa CDC is generally a complement to the Gavi Alliance, especially regional
and country offices of WHO and Unicef. The Gavi Secretariat has coordinated
with Alliance partners to ensure the collaboration does not create duplication
or confusion about roles and responsibilities . However, a s a maturing
organisation , it will take time for Africa CDC to carve out its niche , and for
Alliance partners to adapt accordingly .

health and economic impact of the vaccines under consideration in Gavi -eligible
countries from 2026 -2040 and compares them to the expected impact of vaccines in
the current portfolio, thus providing a quantitative measure o f comparable anticipated
impact. The VIS process is meant to guide decisions for investment that could have
the highest public health impact in Gavi countries.
In this Governance cycle (PPC/Board in May/June 2024), final investment decisions
will be requested to be implemented from Gavi 6.0 subject to replenishment.
Investment cases include vaccines against endemic and epidemic diseases leading
to investments in routine/preventive programmes or stockpiles, respectively.
According to estimated timelines, the vaccines included in the investment cases would
be available for use by Gavi towards the end of the 6.0 period (Figure 1, Doc 10 ), thus
the recommendations presented to the PPC are for in -principle support. These in -
principle decisions allow Gavi to include the vaccine in the design of Gavi 6.0, identify
estimated costs for resource mobilisation and to provide a signal to manufactu rers and
countries regarding level of interest. The risks associated with these in -principle
decisions include the level of uncertainty regarding timelines, product characteristics,
supply and regulatory/policy recommendations. To mitigate these risks, the
Secretariat will continue to monitor the vaccine pipelines , potential demand and
progress of these products along regulatory and policy pathways to inform updated
investment cases that will go back to the PPC/Board for a final approval to start
planning and designing the vaccine programme/stockpile. Although Gavi could
consider deferring these investment decisions until information is more readily
available, this poses risks around funding not being available at the time of a future
decision, as well as negative impact on manufacturers’ continued inves tment in
development of new products and production scale -up that would impact the
timeliness and scale of supply availability and future market health.
Furthermore, the VIS recommendations from the PPC pose risks to countries , the
Alliance and vaccine development :
Impact on countries – Non -infant vaccines
• As more and more countries consider the introduction and sustainability of
additional vaccines outside the infant immunisation timepoint, it is important that
countries have sufficient financial support for their successful delivery. Vaccines
for dengue, tuberculosis and group B streptococcus target non -infant populations
(2yrs, 15yrs and pregnant women, respectively) and thus are expected to require
additional support to strengthen or d evelop additional immunisation touchpoints.
As products become available and updated investment cases are developed and
presented to the PPC/Board, t his additional support provided either by Gavi or
other stakeholders will need to be considered and weighed against other vaccines
and health interventions . If there is limited funding and appetite for this additional
support when these updated investment cases are reviewed there is a risk that

Agenda item 10
Category For Decision

Executive Summary
Th is paper presents for Gavi Board decision the Vaccine Investment Strategy (VIS)
2024 investment cases for tuberculosis, group B streptococcus and dengue as
routine/preventive vaccine programmes , and hepatitis E as a stockpile ; note the
non -extension of the current COVID -19 programme post 2025; and a
recommendation on the investment case for an mpox stockpile and response to the
current mpox outbreak. The actions have been informed by recommendations from
the Programme and Policy Committee (PPC), guidance from the VIS Steering
Committee, input from countries, as well as consultations with civil society
organisations (CSOs), technical partners, disease experts, academics,
practitioners, and vaccine manufacturers. This decision represents the third and final
decision point on VIS 2024, aligned with a decision on the Gavi 6.0 strategy.
Action Requested of the Board
The Gavi Alliance Programme and Policy Committee (PPC) recognised that this
Vaccine Investment Strategy (VIS) is taking place in a different global health and
fiscal landscape with significant pressures on health systems, vaccination schedules
and changing epidemiology due to climate change and urbanisation.
As the menu of vaccines available across the life course increases, countries may
require technical support to strengthen decision -making capacities on vaccine
prioritisation and optimisation , and support to strengthen their health systems to
deliver them.
The PPC also recognised the importance of the VIS for long -term market signalling
to manufacturers despite the many unknowns.
Considering this, t he Gavi Programme and Policy Committee recommend ed to the
Gavi Alliance Board , subject to the availability of funding for the 2026 -2030 period
following Gavi’s replenishment for that period, that it :
a) Approve in principle, support for a tuberculosis (TB) vaccine programme ,
contingent on the availability of a licensed product for adults/adolescents,
outcomes of regulatory and technical review processes (including WHO
prequalification and SAGE recommendation), and meeting the financial
assumptions used as the basis for the T B investment case set out in Annex B to
Doc 10 ;

Annex A: First Response Fund – Programmatic Parameters for Decision

Duration 7 years until end of December 2030. Subject to a Board decision
to continue the Fund, in 2030 donors will have the option to
withdraw or renew their funds for a further 5 years.
Use of
Funds
• Facilitate rapid vaccine access including procurement of
doses (and ancillaries such as syringes) for target priority
populations, including healthcare workers;
• Accelerate the delivery of vaccines, including the
procurement of additional cold chain equipment, community
protection measures, support for surge capacity and
pandemic response plan implementation at country level;
• Provide targeted support to maintain routine immunisation
and protect healthcare workers (such as the purchase of
personal protective equipment);
• Other uses, as approved by the Board, provided aligned with
the overall objective of the Fund.
Geographic
scope
Core Gavi -eligible countries, unless expanded on an exceptional
basis by the Board.
Eligibility The Fund will be restricted to the highest levels of public health
emergencies with a two -stage eligibility process:
1) An emergency will need to meet both objective eligibility
criteria:
− A WHO declared Public Health Emergency of International
Concern (PHEIC), or grade 2 or 3 emergency. A minimum of
80% of funding is reserved for PHEICs.
− The emergency relates to a disease / pathogen for which
Gavi does not have an existing programme or outbreak
response mechanism in place (unless exceptionally agreed
by the Gavi Board).
2) An emergency will also need to satisfy a further technical
assessment, based on clear criteria and informed by partner
consultations and risk assessments, with an associated
recommendation to disburse from the Fund made by an
internal steering committee chaired by the CEO.

Annex B : Arrangement s for the Governance of the First Response Fund
Context and scope
The First Response Fund would align with and leverage existing Gavi governance
processes . As a financing instrument, overall financial oversight would be the
responsibility of the AFC, with programmatic oversight from the PPC. This ensures
alignment with Gavi 's existing governance procedures . Similarly, best practices and
standard operating procedures linked to Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning and Risk
Management, would also be applied.
Structure

Figure 1: Governance structure overview

The above structure depicts the proposed “light touch” governance structure for the
Fund . Overall oversight of the Fund would rest with the Board , with decisions being
reviewed and recommended by the AFC and PPC on relevant matters as further
explained in the table below . As per standard Gavi governance , other committees
would be consulted as required (for example, the Market - Sensitive Decisions
Committee would approve any relevant market and/or commercially sensitive
decisions ).
Given the evolution of the Fund born out of COVAX Pandemic Vaccine Pool funds , an
advisory Investor s Forum would be established to assist the Board and its
Committees. This body, comprised of donors to the First Response Fund, would hold
an annual donor meeting and receive notifications of drawdowns under US$ 50 m illion
for which the AFC has also been notified . For disbursements over US$ 50 million, the
Investor s Forum would receive a consultation period of 72 hours in between AFC
review and approval by the Board, so that their views can be represented . The
Investor s Forum will also play a role in the formal reviews planned for 2027 and 2030.

Report to the Board
6-7 June 202 4
Annex D: Arrangements for the Governance of AVMA
Context and scope
As a Gavi program me , AVMA fully aligns with existing Gavi governance processes. This
extends to Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning and Risk Management, where normal Gavi
Secretariat standard operating procedures are applied. This paper does not seek to describe
these processes , where the AFC, PPC and Board will execute all normal functions in relation
to AVMA, as per their respective charters.
Implementation of AVMA will be managed via a cross -functional group within the Gavi
Secretariat. This group will collaborate closely with Operational Partners (esp. UNICEF and
WHO) who support the implementation of AVMA in various ways. The longstanding Market
Shaping “Square -Group” of WHO, UNICEF and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation , will
help facilitate this coordination on operational issues.
The new Alliance Risk Working Group will facilitate enhanced coordination on shared
operational risk management . Additional information will be brought back to the Board in end
of 2024 , as part of the updated Gavi Risk Policy .
Two advisory forums are to be established to assist with AVMA's implementation and ensure
the two -way information flow required for its smooth operation. Consultations with donors and
other stakeholders confirmed that this solution aligns with their expectations for a forum to
receive information and provide input , see Fig.1. Terms of Reference have been provided to
the Gavi Alliance Governance Committee for endorsement . At its meeting on 5 June 2024,
the Governance Committee will be invited to review and endo rse the Terms of Reference for
these fora.
AVMA Operational and Governance Structure











AVMA Investors Forum (IF)
The IF will ensure AVMA’s ongoing alignment with the numerous other donor investments in
the broader African vaccine manufacturing ecosystem, on which AVMA’s success depends.
The IF will help in identifying synergies and avoiding risks stemming from any emerging
misalignment with other initiatives over the ten -year lifecycle of AVMA. The Investors Forum
will invite stakeholders and subject matter experts to its meetings as required (e.g., Africa
CDC).

BOARD MEETING
Augustin Flory
6 -7 June 2024, Geneva, Switzerland
AVMA and FRF - core pillars of Gavi’s PPPR support
2 Board Meeting, 6 -7 June 2024
Africa remains vulnerable to supply insecurity
Africa accounts for 0.1% of global vaccine
production; 30+ projects, yet most will fail to reach
long -term viability
African manufacturers may be unviable in early
years Capital, labour and operating costs up to 50%
higher for new entrants in Africa, highlighting the need
for substantial downstream support, until economies
of scale are reached
AVMA would offer up to US$ 1 billion in support:
Priming the industry for long -term sustainability
De -risking investments and bolstering sustainability will
support Africa’s vaccine sovereignty, pandemic
preparedness whilst building a substantial biotech sector
The African Vaccine
Manufacturing Accelerator (AVMA)
First Response Fund (FRF)
Contingency funds are needed immediately
This could reduce deaths by up to 74%, and
economic costs by up to 95%
~50% gap in the estimated ~US$ 4 billion
required for rapid response financing for
outbreaks and pandemics
The First Response Fund pre -positions up to
US$ 500 million of at -risk surge financing -
available within the first 50 days of an
emergency, for vaccine procurement and other
urgent uses in core Gavi -eligible countries. The
Fund complements other Pandemic Prevention
Preparedness and Response (PPPR) financing
mechanisms in the global architecture
