The Kingdom of Bahrain became a Gavi donor in August 2021. Under the patronage and guidance of HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Minister of Finance and National Economy – H.E. Shaikh Salman bin Khalifa Al-Khalifa – had a call with then Gavi CEO (Dr Seth Berkley) to discuss and announce a pledge of US$ 2.5 million on 17 August 2021 for the Gavi COVAX AMC.
Commenting on the contribution, the Kingdom of Bahrain’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani stressed: “We are pleased to announce the Kingdom of Bahrain’s continued support for and this contribution to COVAX. International outreach and cooperation is at the heart of Bahrain’s ethos, and we are firm believers that the global pandemic requires cross-border solutions to suppress the virus. To truly overcome the pandemic, a universal approach is necessary to ensure no country is left behind. This shall be accomplished through a collaborative approach facilitated by knowledge and skills sharing, humanitarian assistance, or as in this case, through financial donations. The collaborative support of COVAX from GCC Member States is testament to the strength of our relations. It is only through engaging with global health partnerships, such as Gavi, that the international community will be able to suppress COVID-19.”
Proceeds are funds made available to Gavi from donor contributions and commitments, either through: cash payments made to Gavi, through frontloading via the capital markets of a future donor commitment to IFFIm; or Advance Market Commitment (AMC) funds released to Gavi via the World Bank. IFFIm proceeds are allocated over five-year periods coinciding with Gavi’s strategic periods. Proceeds for the current and future strategic periods are indicative until the end of each period and could be revised following changes in market conditions (interest rates or foreign exchange rates), the signing of new pledge(s) and/or changes in IFFIm’s disbursement profile.

General notes regarding IFFIm contributions:
Due to IFFIm’s nature as a frontloading vehicle, yearly contributions paid into IFFIm can differ significantly from yearly proceeds transferred to Gavi.
While IFFIm grants are irrevocable and legally binding, they are subject to a Grant Payment Condition that can potentially reduce the donor’s amount due, in the event that a Gavi-supported programme country is in protracted arrears with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Since 29 June 2021, no reduction applies, as all countries from the reference portfolio have cleared their arrears with the IMF.
