Italy has been a steadfast partner of Gavi since 2006, helping expand access to life-saving vaccines and protect millions of children from vaccine-preventable diseases around the world. To date, Italy has committed approximately €1.9 billion (US$ 2.2 billion) in support of Gavi's mission.

Over the past two decades, Italy has established itself as a champion of innovative financing for global health. In 2006, Italy became one of the first donors to the International Finance Facility for Immunisation (IFFIm), with a commitment of €490 million (US$ 508 million). Italy also played a pivotal role in the creation of the Pneumococcal Advance Market Commitment (AMC), becoming its largest donor with a contribution of €450 million (US$ 555 million).

Italy has also been a key supporter of the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic, contributing €420 million (US$ 548 million) to the Gavi COVAX Advance Market Commitment (AMC) from 2021 through 2022, helping to ensure equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines for lower-income countries.

Furthermore, in 2024 Italy contributed US$ 150 million to the African Vaccine Manufacturing Accelerator (AVMA), reaffirming its commitment to strengthening sustainable vaccine manufacturing capacity across Africa and enhancing regional health security.

Alongside its support for innovative financing mechanisms, Italy has provided €200 million (US$ 227 million) in direct funding across Gavi’s 4.0 (2016–2020) and 5.0 (2021–2025) strategic periods.

Most recently, at Gavi’s replenishment summit in Brussels in June 2025, Italy reaffirmed its leadership in global immunisation with a pledge of €250 million (US$ 290 million) for Gavi’s 2026–2030 strategic period (Gavi 6.0), combining direct contributions and support through IFFIm.
