Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, is an international organisation dedicated to saving lives and protecting people’s health by increasing equitable and sustainable use of vaccines.
About Gavi
Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance helps vaccinate almost half the world’s children against deadly and debilitating infectious diseases. Created in 2000, Gavi is an international organisation – a global Vaccine Alliance, bringing together public and private sectors with the shared goal of saving lives and protecting people’s health by increasing equitable and sustainable use of vaccines.
As a public-private partnership, Gavi represents the sum of its partners' individual strengths, from WHOs scientific expertise and UNICEF’s procurement system to the financial know-how of the World Bank and the market knowledge of the vaccine industry.
By bringing the key stakeholders in global immunisation together around one mission, Gavi combines the technical expertise of the development community with the business know-how of the private sector.
Gavi 6.0
In June 2024, the Board approved Gavi’s new five-year strategy, ‘Gavi 6.0’. Gavi 6.0 sets out the Alliance’s vision, mission, strategic goals, objectives, operating principles and critical enablers for Gavi’s sixth strategic period (2026–2030). Gavi's vision, to leave no one behind with immunisation, will be enacted with four strategic goals during this period:
- Introducing and scaling up vaccines
- Strengthening health systems to increase equity in immunisation
- Improving programmatic and financial sustainability of immunisation programmes
- Ensuring healthy markets for vaccines and related products
