Impact
IFFIm's contributions have made it possible for Gavi to immunise more children, faster.
Since 2006, IFFIm has disbursed close to US$ 5.4 billion to support Gavi’s vaccination programmes. This represents 16% of Gavi's overall funding1.
IFFIm funding has played a role in Gavi’s success in protecting children from infectious diseases so they can survive and thrive. Since 2000, Gavi has immunised more than 981 million children and prevented more than 16.2 million deaths, helping to cut child mortality in half in 73 lower-income countries.
IFFIm accelerates Gavi’s impact. For example, Gavi was able to immunise nearly 100 million children ahead of receiving donor funding thanks to frontloading the proceeds of its signature impact investment, vaccine bonds.
In addition to financing for routine immunisation programmes, IFFIm funding also supports health system strengthening in lower-income countries and investment cases such as the COVAX AMC.

Addressing the COVID-19 pandemic
COVID-19 has created an urgent need for resources on a massive scale. As Gavi’s long-term, predictable and flexible funding source, IFFIm serves as a vehicle through which donors can support the Gavi COVAX AMC. Through IFFIm vaccine bonds, donors can accelerate funding to the COVAX AMC and help enable equitable access to these vaccines. IFFIm Vaccine Bonds have already generated US$ 975 million for Gavi to apply to the COVAX AMC for fair, global access to COVID-19 vaccines.

IFFIm has played a critical role in the fight to end polio by providing funding that has helped slash incidence of the disease. IFFIm disbursed US$ 260 million to Gavi for polio programmes, including polio eradication and the inactivated polio vaccine, from 2006 to March 2022. When the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) faced a crisis in 2006, it turned to IFFIm as the only way to finance stockpiling the polio vaccine so suppliers have it available for outbreaks. IFFIm invested US$191.28 million to help develop and license oral polio vaccine (OPV) products that could be field tested for safety and purchased in bulk. IFFIm’s support contributed to a striking 95% decline in polio cases in Nigeria and India, and an 85% decline in type 3 polio cases globally.
