The high-level pledging summit, culminating Gavi’s 6.0 replenishment cycle, will be co-hosted in Brussels by the European Union and the Gates Foundation. The event will bring together global leaders from government, partner organisations, vaccine manufacturers, civil society and the private sector to secure crucial investments in life-saving immunsation programmes
Gavi is one of the most successful development initiatives in history, protecting people and communities around the world since 2000. With the launch of Gavi's Investment Opportunity 2026–2030, leaders from government, partner organisations, civil society and business express why immunisation matters.
Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, the Government of France and the African Union – together with Team Europe partners – hosted The Global Forum for Vaccine Sovereignty and Innovation. The event was co-hosted on 20 June 2024 in Paris by the President of the French Republic, H.E. Mr. Emmanuel Macron, and the President of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania and Chair of the African Union, H.E. Mr. Mohamed Ould Cheikh Ghazouani.
The Forum launched Gavi’s 2026–2030 Investment Opportunity (IO) to support its next replenishment – which will raise funds for immunisation in lower-income countries for Gavi’s sixth strategic period, from 2026 through 2030 (Gavi 6.0). The Forum also launched the African Vaccine Manufacturing Accelerator (AVMA), an innovative financial mechanism, designed by Gavi in close collaboration with Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), to help vaccine manufacturers in Africa to scale up production and foster regional diversification of vaccine manufacturing.
AVMA will make a strong contribution to the African Union’s Partnerships for African Vaccine Manufacturing (PAVM) ambition to manufacture at least 60% of the total vaccine doses required on the continent by 2040, as well as the global effort to strengthen African health sovereignty at all times, including for pandemic preparedness and response.
