Annual progress reports

Countries no longer submit annual progress reports. Please refer to the joint appraisal report and Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue documents on this page.

The joint appraisal report and Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue

The joint appraisal is an in-country, multi-stakeholder review of the implementation progress and performance of Gavi's vaccine and cash grant support to the country, and of its contribution to improved immunisation outcomes. The outcome of the appraisal is the completed "joint appraisal report" that captures Gavi grant performance as well as implementation challenges. The joint appraisal report informs discussions with national coordination mechanisms on areas where greater national investments and efforts, as well as technical support, are needed.

In 2020/2021, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Multi-stakeholder dialogue (MSD) documents temporarily replaced the traditional Joint Appraisal to ensure that Gavi’s continuing support to the EPI programme be aligned with realities at country level.

Approved proposals

All eligible countries are invited to submit proposals for Gavi support. 

Comprehensive multi-year plans, Financial sustainability plans, National Immunisation Strategy

The comprehensive multi-year plan (cMYP) is a single plan which consolidates several immunisation activities. It is a key planning and management tool for national immunisation programmes. It addresses global, national, and subnational immunisation objectives and strategies, and evaluates the costs and financing of the programme in line with the WHO-UNICEF Global Immunization Vision and Strategy 2006-2015. Gavi requires countries to submit a cMYP along with the standard proposal form when applying for Gavi support (ISS, INS, and NVS). In 2006, over 50 countries had developed cMYPs using the WHO-UNICEF cMYP guidelines and costing tool.
The cMYP replaces the financial sustainability plan (FSP), used to assess the funding challenges of a country's national immunisation programme within the broader health financing context and to describe the government’s approach to mobilising and effectively using resources to support medium- and long-term immunisation objectives. 

Decision Letters and Partnerships Agreement

The Decision Letter or Partnership Framework Agreement provides a summary of the details of the new approval or continuation of a Gavi window of support, following the independent review of a new application or annual progress report submitted by a country.

Targeted country assistance plans

Targeted country assistance (TCA) are resources provided to in-country partners under Gavi’s partners’ engagement framework (PEF). A country’s TCA plan is based on needs expressed by the country during the joint appraisal discussions. It includes sets of activities, milestones and budget for a given year.
