Norway is one of the six original donors to Gavi and has steadily increased its strong long-term political and financial support. Norway’s support to Gavi is advocated at the highest level and is anchored in a strong cross-party political understanding of the value of investing in immunisation. Norway has taken a very active role in Gavi and was the co-host, with the US , of a meeting in New York in October 2010 that opened for the first Gavi pledging conference.

Norway contributes to the Vaccine Alliance through three funding channels: direct, IFFIm and AMC. Norwegian private sector companies, such as Laerdal, DNB and Statoil, as well as private individuals have also provided funding to Gavi.

At the pledging conference in London in 2011, the Norwegian Prime Minister committed $612 million in direct funding for the period 2011-2015. In addition, the existing agreements of $50 million to AMC and 1.5 billion Norwegian krone ( $302 million) to IFFIm. In Berlin 2015, the Prime Minister announced a 50% increase in the Norwegian direct support to Gavi for the period 2016–2020, bringing the total future Norwegian contribution up to 6.25 billion Norwegian krone.

Additionally, in 2014 Norway committed 1.14 billion Norwegian krone ( $150 million) for the period 2014-2019 to support the Vaccine Alliance’s effort to complement GPEI’s work, strengthening routine immunisation and introducing inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) in Gavi-supported countries.

On 4 June 2020, during the Global Vaccine Summit, Prime Minister Erna Solberg announced a considerable increase in Norway’s commitment to Gavi for the strategic period 2021-2025. The total commitment of 10.05 billion Norwegian krone, comprises 6.05 billion Norwegian krone in direct support, and 4 billion Norwegian krone through IFFIm over 10 years.

Norway has committed 1,164.1 million Norwegian krone to COVAX AMC, as well as approved the transfer of $6.25 million from Norway’s support to the PCV AMC to the COVAX AMC.

PROCEEDS TO GAVI FROM DONOR CONTRIBUTIONS & PLEDGES (2021-2025) AS OF 31 December 2022

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 through 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.

Notes:
Direct Contributions (including Matching Fund)

Received contributions: non-US$ contributions for 2000-2022 are expressed in US$ equivalents using the exchange rates on the dates of receipt.  For 2014-2022 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 Matching Fund pledges for years 2023 and beyond are expressed in US$ equivalents using the applicable forecast rates from Bloomberg as at 31 December 2022 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 Matching Fund pledges for years 2023 and beyond are expressed in US$ equivalents using the spot rates from Refinitiv as at 31 December 2022 or using the rates applicable to any hedge agreement in place.

IFFIm contributions

Received contributions: non-US$ contributions for 2000-2022 are expressed in US$ equivalents as confirmed by the IBRD (World Bank)

Future contributions: non-US$ contributions for years 2023 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

  • For contribution agreements not yet signed: contributions are expressed in US$ equivalents using the applicable spot rates from Refinitiv as at 31 December 2022

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 amount due by the donor in the event that a Gavi-supported programme country is in protracted arrears with the International Monetary Fund. Since 29 June 2021, there is no longer any reduction applied, as all countries from the reference portfolio have cleared their arrears with the IMF.
