Italy is a key leader in global health and a strong supporter of the Alliance since 2006, playing a major role in the creation of Gavi’s innovative finance mechanisms.

In 2006, Italy became a founding member of Gavi’s International Finance Facility for Immunisation (IFFIm) and is currently its fourth largest donor, with a total commitment of €648 million over 2006–2030. Italy also took a leading role in the launch of Gavi’s Pneumococcal Advance Market Commitment (AMC) in 2009 and was its largest donor for the successful ten-year duration of the programme, with a total commitment of US$ 555 million.

At Gavi’s 2015 replenishment conference, Italy pledged an additional €100 million in direct contributions for Gavi’s core programmes in 2016–2020. Subsequently, Gavi’s 2020 replenishment conference saw another Italian pledge of €100 million in direct contributions for Gavi’s core programmes in 2021–2025.

Italy has been a key player in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, contributing €420 million towards the Gavi COVAX AMC and making COVID-19 vaccine doses available to lower-income countries via the COVAX dose sharing mechanism.

Proceeds to Gavi from donor contributions & pledges (2021–2025) as of 30 June 2024

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.

Direct Contributions (including Matching Fund)

For 2014–2023 and Q1-Q2 2024, where contributions were hedged to mitigate currency risk exposure, these have been expressed using the rates applicable to the hedge agreement.

Future contributions (for pledges made prior to the June 2020 donor pledging conference): non-US$ direct contribution and Gavi Matching Fund pledges for Q3-Q4 2024 and for years 2025 and beyond are expressed in US$ equivalents using the applicable “forecast rates” from Bloomberg as of 30 June 2024 or using the rates applicable to any hedge agreement in place.

Future contributions (for pledges at the June 2020 donor pledging conference): non-US$ direct contribution and Gavi Matching Fund pledges for Q3-Q4 2024 and for years 2025 and beyond are expressed in US$ equivalents using the “spot rates” from Refinitiv as at 30 June 2024 or using the rates applicable to any hedge agreement in place.

IFFIm contributions

Received contributions: non-US$ contributions for 2000–2023 and for Q1-Q2 2024 are expressed in US$ equivalents as confirmed by the World Bank Group’s International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD).

Future contributions: non-US$ contributions for Q3-Q4 2024 and for years 2025 and beyond are expressed in US$ equivalents as follows:

  • for signed contribution agreements, contributions are expressed in US$ equivalents using the exchange rates at the time of signing the respective donor grant agreements; and
  • for contribution agreements not yet signed, contributions are expressed in US$ equivalents using the applicable “spot rates” from Refinitiv as of 30 June 2024.

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.
