19 July 2019
Teleconference


1. Chair?s Report

1.1 Finding a quorum of members present, the meeting commenced at 15.00 Geneva
time on 19 July 2019. Dr Ngozi Okonjo -Iweala, Board Chair, chaired the meeting.

1.2 The Chair highlighted that this teleconference had been convened as an
extraordinary meeting of the Board as she felt that the Board, as a whole, should
be engaged in the issues that arose with the donor group in recent consultations
relating to the investment case for the Gavi 2021 -202 5 Strategy (Gavi 5.0).

1.3 She noted that while the Gavi Statutes and By -laws are silent on the convening of
a Board meeting by short notice, meaning that it is held within a period of less than
the required 14 days? notice, Article 2.7.4.1 of the By -laws permits that a meeting
of this nature can proceed provided there is no o bjection (protest) raised at the
commencement of this meeting. As no objections were expressed by Board , the
meeting was duly constituted as a formal meeting of the Board of the Gavi Alliance.

1.4 Standing declarations of interest were included with the materials shared with the
Board in advance of this meeting.

2. Gavi Strategy 2021 -2025 ? Investment Case Ask

2.1 The Chair recalled that the purpose of this meeting is to have a clear and agreed
view of what is to be presented as the investment case ask at the Yokohama
Replenishment Launch on 30 August 2019 , including an agreed level of strategic
investments funding .

2.2 She highlighted that this constitutes a high -level projection of the investment need
for the next strategic period to deliver on the strategy and that it will require a
number of specific budget approvals for the respective programmes over that
period . She re called that an ?ask? is a notional fundraising target , and not a budget,
and highlighted that the starting point of the replenishment ask is grounded in the
projections of Board -approved programmes and expenditures as laid out in the
financial forecast for 2021 -2025 .

2. 3 Seth Berkley, CEO, presented an overview of the breakdown of the US$ 8.9 bil lion
for estimated future expenditure highlighting that every component of expenditure

Report to the Board

27 November 201 9

Dear Board members ,
I look forward to seeing you all in Delhi next week . Our meeting has a very full
agenda, com ing at a busy time for the Alliance and the global health community .
On the one hand. w e are focus ed on delivering Gavi 4.0 . The latest WHO -
UNICEF Estimates of Immunisation Coverage (WUENIC) show that the Alliance
is on track to achieve , and in some cases exceed , all of our Mission Indicators as
well as our targets for breadth of protection and coverage with a first dose of
measles vaccine. However, pentavalent coverage is off track , despite 2.5 million
more children being reached in 2018 than in 2015 . This is due in part to
exceptional events in one large country in 2018 (which will likely be reversed in
2019 ) as explained further in the paper on 2016 -2020 Strategy: Progress,
Challenges and Risks . W e are simultaneously preparing to implement Gavi 5.0 ,
including rethinking many of the Alliance?s approaches , policies, processes and
engagement model , planning for our upcoming Replenishment in London on
4 June 2020 , and getting ready to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Gavi?s
creation at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
It is also a busy time for the broader community . As discussed further below, w e
are actively engaged in the process to develop the Immunisation Agenda 2030
and are working with other agencies to begin implementing the Global Action
Plan for Healthy Lives and Wellbeing for All (GAP) . Meanwhile, the health world
is facing reversals in efforts to eradicate polio, control measles and bring the
ongoing Ebola outbr eak in DR Congo to an end . We will therefore have a lot to
discuss and reflect on at our meeting.
Key developments in our global landscape
Accelerating progress on primary healthcare and universal health coverage
At this year?s United Nations General Assembly , world leaders met for their first
ever High -Level meeting on Universal Health Coverage (UHC) . This was an
opportunity to take stock of global progress towards UHC four years after the
launch of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) , and to recommit to

Section A: Executive Summary
Context
Gavi?s current m ission for the 2016 -2020 period is to save children?s lives and
protect people?s health by increasing equitable use of vaccines in lower -income
countries . It is guided by four strategic goals: accelerating vaccine coverage and
uptake, strengthening health and imm unisation systems, improving sustainability
of national immunisation programmes and shaping markets. In June 2019, the
Board approved the Gavi 2021 -20 25 (?Gavi 5.0?) strategy, with the vision of ?leaving
no one behind with immunisation?.
Questions this pap er addresses
This report presents a holistic view of Alliance -wide progress, challenges and
potential risks 1 in implementing Gavi?s 2016 -2020 strategy , and a short update on
the ongoing operationalisation of Gavi?s 2021 -2025 strategy (?Gavi 5.0?) .
Conclusions
The Alliance is fully on track on all of its five Mission indicator s. We are also
seeing good progress on a number of key indicators across the four strategic
goals , including breadth of protection, MCV1 (first dose of measles vaccine)
coverage, strengthening supply chains, c ountry fulfilment of co -financing
commitments and reductions in vaccine prices. However, challenges also
persist , such as less than targeted improvement in Penta3 coverage and
difficulties with measuring progress on our equity indicators .
The six Gavi 5.0 operationalisation workstreams are in various stages of
development and generally on track , with the policy workstream discussed in Doc
09 and a separate update on the measurement framework as Annex B to the pack
for this Board meeting .


1 Associated risks refer to the top risks described in more detail in the Risk & Assurance Report
2019 (see Doc 11 ).

Board -2019 -Mtg -3-Doc 04-Annex C
Annex C: Annual Report on the Implementation of the Gender Policy
Section A: Executive Summary
Context
This report provides an update on progress made in 2019 on implementing Gavi?s
Gender Policy. It covers the programmatic, corporate, governance and advocacy
dimensions of Gavi?s gender -focused work.

The goal of Gavi?s Gender Policy is to 1) increase immunisation coverage by
supporting countries to overcome gender -related barriers to accessing
immunisation services and 2) promote equal access and utilisation for all girls and
boys, women and men to immunisation and related health services that respond
to their different health needs.
In 2019, Gavi made progress in implementing recommendations from an external
evaluation of Gavi?s Gender Policy , including articulating a clear case for
addressing gender issu es as part of Gavi?s Strategy for 2021 -20 25 and creating a
new sub -team f ocused on gender, communities and demand within the
Secretariat?s Health System and Immunisation Strengt hening team. The
Secretariat is in the process of reviewing and updating its Gender Policy, which
will be brought to the Gavi Board in June 2020 for review .
Section B: Facts and Data
Gender Policy at a glance
1.1 ITAD completed an external evaluation of Gavi?s Gender Policy in April
2019. The recommendations included i) articulating a clear case for
addressing gender as part of Gavi?s 2021 ?2025 Strategy; ii) enhancing
internal Secretariat systems and processes to understand and address
gender barrier s, iii) ensuring participation of national partners and core
partners in the update, monitoring and implementation of the Gender Policy,
and iv) elaborating a strategic level implementation plan to guide
implementation with a robust monitoring and evaluati on framework. These
findings and recommendations were the starting point for the Secretariat?s
work with Alliance partners and other stakeholders to update the policy.
1.2 A consultative approach has been taken over the course of the year to
strengthen Gavi?s Gender Policy. This includes consultations with donors,
country stakeholders and CSOs; ongoing dialogue with peer and partner
organisations; and discussions with country -facing teams in the Secretariat.
In addition, a n expert consultative workshop was held in July 2019 with 17
gender and immunisation experts . The m ain themes emerging from these
consultations echo feedback received from the evaluation , includ ing the
need to a) m ake a clear case for how addressing gender barriers contribute s
to achieving Gavi?s mission ; b) e nsure a country tailored approach is taken

Annex A: Implications/Anticipated impact
Risk implications
Due to fiscal pressures in donors markets alongside competing replenishments, there
is a risk of decreased support from existing donors or inability to increase new donor
contributions to Gavi. Hence, a successful Replenishment that engages all
stakeholders and donors will be crucial for ensuring continuity of Gavi programmes at
country level, as well as maintaining industry and manufacturer confidence.
In addition, the rec ent Global Fund replenishment has underlined the need to
anticipate exchange rate fluctuations. As an illustration, if all donors contributions to
Gavi, pledged in their national currencies, remained at a flat -line level compared to the
Berlin replenishmen t, at today?s exchange rates Gavi would not be able to secure the
minimum required in the new Investment Opportunity.
If there are insufficient resources to deploy in 2021 ?2025, the Alliance would be faced
with hard choices, and would undertake a rigorous prioritisation exercise. Gavi would
need to resize its ambitions around supporting particular vaccines, enabling grants in
health systems, protecting the world with vaccine stockpiles, and/or strategic
investments to secure immunisation returns, among oth er priority areas. Gavi would
also likely have to pull back from some of the work of collaborating with other
institutions.
As a result, country demand would not be met, risking backsliding on the tremendous
progress made to date. This has implications n ot only for the poorest people?s ability
to live healthy lives, but also their ability to thrive and lift themselves out of poverty. In
addition, in a world without vaccines, disease outbreaks would cause significant
economic loss, not only to families and communities from unnecessary suffering and
loss of earnings, but this would be multiplied many times over by loss of trade, lost
productivity, and decimated health services. Many of the hard -fought gains made
could be reversed but with far greater global implications in a hyper -connected world.
It can be a major threat to global prosperity and security if we do not take steps to stop
disease at source.
With respect to assuring contributions from new donors, it should be noted that a
number of them are as king for a seat and/or greater voice at the Board in consideration
of their contributions. Another challenge emerging from discussions with some new
and emerging donors is that some of them may not make donations directly to Gavi
because the Alliance?s sta tus does not meet their definition of an International
Organisation. Finally, the use of innovative finance mechanisms may require legal
issues and tax deductibility limitations to be addressed, especially when considering
contributions from the private se ctor.

Section A: Executive Summary
Context
This report describes Gavi?s campaign in the lead up to its third pledging
conference, to be hosted by the United Kingdom on 3-4 June 2020 in London . It
presents an overview of the Replenishment launch that was held on 30 August
2019 in Japan as part of the 7 th edition of the Tokyo International Conference on
African Development (TICAD 7) , a summary of the key points of Gavi?s Investment
Opportunity and financia l ask and insights on the campaign approach .
Conclusions
Following a successful Replenishment launch in August 2019 and the unveiling of
the 2021 -2025 Investment Opportunity , the Replenishment process was set in
motion to secure at least US $ 7.4 billion in donor contributions by June 2020 . If the
financial ask is met , Gavi will be able to reach another 300 million people with life -
saving vaccines , preventing 7 -8 million future deaths , and deliver more than
US$ 80 -100 billion in economic benefits to countries .
There is significant potential to further accelerate impact if funding were to exceed
the ask. Gavi?s Replenishment strategy will therefore seek to increase pledges
from core donors, bring in new donors closely aligned with Gavi priorities,
incentivis e private sector pledges , and leverag e innovative financial instruments to
generate flexible fund s. The strategy will also need to mitigate the volatilit y in
exchange rates since the Berlin replenishment .
While the ask is global in nature , Gavi?s campaign will be focused on tailored
approaches , aligned with donor countries? aid priorities. The approach will combine
high -level strategic donor engagement by Gavi?s Leadership and Secretariat, UK -
led government -wide efforts , peer donor outreach, and coordinated civil society
actions in key markets . Global moments will also be leveraged , including Gavi?s
upcoming 20th anniversary , to be celebrated at the World Economic Forum (WEF)
in Davos in January .

Report to the Board


Board -2019 -Mtg -3-Doc 06a -Annex A

Annex A : Implications/Anticipated impact

1. Impact on countries
1.1 Approval of the Financial Forecast will enable funding to be allotted to
programmes throughout 20 20 , in accordance wit h the Programme Funding
Policy.

2. Risk implication and mitigation, including information on the risks of
inaction
2.1 Determination of Gavi?s financial capacity to approve the recommended
decisions relies on the current Financial Forecast. Risks that may impact the
reliability of financia l forecast are described below, as well as the mitigation
strategies in place to address these ris ks.
2.2 One of those risks arises from exposure to foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations. In the forecast, non -USD pledges are valued at their USD
equivalents using the current Bloomberg forecast exchange rates when
compiling the forecast (consistent with th e approach agreed with donors at
the Berlin Replenishment Meeting) or, where hedged, at the hedge rate.
Pledges are hedged progressively, and pledges representing 6% of
2016 - 2020 Assured Resources are not yet hedged, pending clarification of
timing.
2.3 Gavi?s eight -month Cash and Investments Reserve provides a cushion for
adverse fluctuations in resources and expenditures. Gavi can also decline or
defer funding requests based on resource availability.
3. Risks associated with the financial forecast and mitigations
Factors that may impact the expenditure forecast include:
3.1 Demand volumes can vary significantly based on small changes in country
introduction assumptions. While the introduction assumptio ns made in the
current forecasts leverage the information readily available, there remains an
inherent high degree of uncertainty on these assumptions. In addition, the
assumptions on introduction timing are often dependent on projections of
when a country will no longer be eligible for new Gavi support. This forecast
represents the application of the current Board approved Eligibility and
Transition Policy. Changes or exceptions to this policy could vary demand
significantly.
3.2 Price forecasts reflect expected market dynamics specific to each vaccine.
The point forecast represents a moderate most likely scenario estimate
among a range of possible estimates and reflects information available at the
time of preparation.
3.3 The forecast includes assumpt ions for supply availability for Rotavirus, HPV ,
IPV , Yellow Fever and Typhoid as currently anticipated.

Report to the Board


Board -2019 -Mtg -3-Doc 06a -Annex B
Annex B : Terminology and rounding
Terms used in this paper have the meanings described below, and are relevant to
Gavi?s Board Approved Programme Funding Policy:
a) Assured Resources comprise:
? Cash and investments of Gavi, in the amount that exceeds the Cash and
Investments Reserve (see (g) below)
? Expected proceeds from IFFIm, based on existing donor pledges
? Expected AMC and any other contributions that are contingent on
programmatic expenditu re included in the expenditure forecast
? Confirmed direct contributions to GAVI Alliance that are pledged under
already -signed agreements or otherwise confirmed in writing.
? Projected investment income
b) Allowance for Further Direct Contributions (for th e purpose of approving
funding decisions): An allowance for further expected direct contributions
from existing donors who have not confirmed their pledges for each year,
based on current overall contribution levels. The allowance is mandated by
the Progra mme Funding Policy and is important towards enabling
programme funding decisions to be made while pledges have yet to be
completed for particular years. The allowance assumes that in years where
currently confirmed direct contributions total less than the current level,
further contributions will bring the total to that level. This is currently US$ 1.4 9
billion for the year, which equates to the annual average of confirmed pledges
for 201 7-201 9.
c) Qualifying Resources : The sum of Assured Resources and the Allowance for
Further Direct Contributions (i.e. (a) plus (b) above) .
d) Existing Programmes : Country programmes (for vaccine and cash -based
programmes and investment cases) that have already been approved for
support by Gavi, the Partners? Engagement Fr amework and the Secretariat
budget.
e) New Requests : Projected demand from country applications that are
currently being recommended by the Independent Review Committee for
approval.
f) Expected Future Requests: Projected demand from countries expected t o
request Gavi support in the future for the currently approved portfolio of
vaccines and cash -based programmes. It does not include any additional
vaccines that Gavi may consider for support in the future.
g) Cash and Investments Reserve : The reserve required by the Programme
Funding Policy to be maintained at a minimum equalling eight months of
expected annual expenditures.

Board -2019 -Mtg -3-Doc 06a


Section A: Executive Summary
Context
This report asks the Board to approve the updated projections of resources and
expenditure for 2016 -2020 and indicative financial projections for 2021 -2025.
The Audit and Finance Committee (AFC) has reviewed the 2016 -2020 and
2021 - 2025 forecast , includi ng the financial implications of the decisions that the
Board will consider at this meeting. The AFC concluded that these decisions could
be approved by the Board , in accordance with the Programme Funding Policy .
? For 2016 -2020 , the overall expenditure forecast has decreased by
US$ 0.1 billion (1%) whereas resources have remained consistent at the level
that was presented in the forecast on the 19 July 2019 Board call.
? For 2021 -2025 , the indicative financial projections for expenditures and
resources remain materially aligned to figures presented in the ?Investment
Opportunity? launched at TICAD, in Yokohama on 30 August 2019.
In addition to the forecast, th is report also provides an update on the evolution of
the estimates of resources and expenditure in 2019, an overview of expenditures
that are subject to Board -approved programme funding limits and of in-country
cash balances of Gavi support , and finally an update on foreign currency exposure .
Conclusion
The updated financial projecti ons show that sufficient resources are available such
that the programmes presented at this Board can be approved in accordance with
the provisions of the Programme Funding Policy.

Annex A: Implications/Anticipated impact
Risk implication and mitigation, including information on the risks of inaction
? PEF: the 2020 PEF budget is dependent on countries? demand for technical
assistance as well as partners? capacity to provide the required technical support
to sustainably address coverage and equity challenges and support well
function ing immunisation programmes. As highlighted in the Risk and Assurance
Report (Doc 11 ), partner capacity is recognised as a top risk for th e Alliance and
is being actively monitored.
? Secretariat: the 2020 Secretariat budget includes the cost of the preparation for the
replenishment and the event itself. Current assumptions for these costs are based
on the overall spend during the last mid -term review and replenishment period.
Impact on countries
? Overall, the Ministry of Health in Gavi countries have the primary responsibility for
delivering on Gavi programmes. Gavi?s deliverables and associated activities are
intended to support this implemen tation and delivery on the goals.
? Through the Joint Appraisal process, countries identify their technical assistance
needs, which form the basis of the partner proposals for activities to be funded
through the PEF. This creates more country ownership and v isibility for countries
on the work -streams being implemented, allowing better coordination of activities
and better alignment with Gavi funded programmes .
Impact on Alliance
? WHO and UNICEF will remain core partners of the Alliance, continue to provide
mos t of the assistance funded by Gavi and engage with Gavi as true partners.
However, as the PEF TCA intends to leverage the capacity of a broader set of
partner institutions, the Alliance model which at Gavi?s inception relied solely on
WHO and UNICEF as imp lementing partners is de facto evolving towards a
broader diversity of partners providing assistance to countries.

Board -2019 -Mtg -3-Doc 06b

Section A: Executive Summary
Context
This paper pr esent s the detailed component s of t he Partners ? Engagement
Framework (PEF) and Secretariat budget for 2020 and seeks the Board ?s approval
of the se budget s.
In compiling its budget request for 2020 (the last year of the current strategic
period ), the Secretariat continued to focus on efficiency gains and a high level of
fiscal responsibility while preparing for Replenishment and Gavi 5.0
operationali sation.
Conclusion
No increase is proposed in relation to the 2020 PEF and Secretariat budget
compared to the 2019 budget , excluding the financial impact of the one -off cost of
the replenishment :
? The proposed 2020 PEF budget of US$ 253 million is at the same level as the
Board -approved 2019 budget, with minor changes between the respective
components. Specifically, t he PEF budget reflects a higher allocation for
targeted country assistance (TCA) in line with the growing emphasis on
subnational level technical support and enhanced focus on fragile countries.
? Secretariat budget needs are estimated at US$ 110 million for 2020, compared
to US$ 108 million for 2019. The increase is primarily due to the inclusion of a
one -off cost of US$ 2 .1 million for replenishment .
The Gavi updated financial forecast for the strategic period 2016 -2020 presented
in Doc 0 6a makes a provision for the proposed budget amounts and indicates that
enough resources are available .

Report to the Board
Board -2019 -Mtg -3-Doc 07-Annex A
Annex A: Implications / Anticipated Impact

Risk implications and mitigation for both funding of the malaria vaccine implementation
programme and longer -term supply are included in the paper. The impact on countries
and the Alliance and gender implications are described below .

1. Impact on countries and on the Alliance

a) The decision to continue funding the pilots will directly affect the MVIP
countries, given their investment in the routine use of vaccine. However even
countries that are n ot currently included in the pilots are likely to have an interest
in understanding how RTS,S could add to current malaria interventions , and a
lack of funding to complete the pilots would jeopardise the ability to make policy
and investment decisions .

b) A number of countries have communicated their strong interest in considering
introduction of RTS,S . The decision regar ding whether to risk -share continued
manufacturing will impact countries in terms of the supply available for their
introduction and scale -up of RTS,S in the case of positive policy and investment
decisions .

c) This decision is relevant to the Alliance in several ways :

i. Given the global burden of malaria and the public health impact, the
availability of a new intervention could have significant impact in terms of
contributing to the prevention of malaria -related morbidity and mortality in
the longer term .

ii. At this stage, there is an opportunity to signal the need to understand the
role of RTS,S as part of a broader disease control strategy and the
implications of using a partially efficacious vaccine.

iii. The experience with RTS,S provides a learning opportuni ty which could
enable us to plan for pilot s introductions and for the future supply of
vaccines without dual markets.

2. Gender implications of this decision

Full analysis of the gender implications of a malaria vaccine programme would be
included in a fu ll investment case for broader roll -out .

Looking forward to a potential malaria vaccine programme there is greater gender
equity with childhood vaccines in Africa than for care -seeking behaviour, which is
poorer for girls than boys. Moreover, girls are m ore likely to be tasked with caring for
their younger sick siblings, with knock -on effects for girls? school attendance and
achievement.

Board -2019 -Mtg -3-Doc 07

Section A : Executive Summary
Context
Despite progress since 2000, the global burden of malaria is increasing. The first
licensed malaria vaccine, RTS,S /AS01 , is a potential tool to complement existing
interventions. In 2016, Gavi, in partnership with others , committed to fund the
Malaria Vaccine Implementation Programme (MVIP) for 2017 -2020 .1 The MVIP is
a pilot of routine programm atic use of RTS,S which will generate evidence to inform
future WHO policy recommendations and investment decisions on broader roll -out
of RTS,S. Funding for 2021 -2023 is now required to complete the MVIP , which
was anticipated at the time of the original MVIP funding decision .
W hile RTS,S policy and investment decision s are on the horizon , a critical decision
regarding continuation or otherwise of vaccine production by the manufacturer
needs to be made soon (preferably before end 2019) and in advance of th e broader
policy and investment decisions . There are v arious options regarding production ,
each of which has different programmatic and financial trade -offs . Th is paper
seeks Board decisions on both topics (MVIP and vaccine production) based on the
recommendations of the Programme and Policy Committee (PPC) .
Questions this paper addresses
1) What does the latest evidence , including data emerging following the
recommendation for pilots, tell us about the safety and impact of RTS,S ?
2) What is the value of the MVIP and what resources are required to complete
it?
3) What options are available for Gavi engagement in vaccine production
pending policy/investment decisions and what are the implications , trade -
offs and risks ?
Conclusions
The MVIP will provide critical evidence to inform broader policy and inves tment
decisions. The PPC recommended that the Board approve funding of

Annex A: Implications / Anticipated Impact
Risk implications and mitigation are included in the paper. The impact on countries
and the Alliance and gender implications are described below.

1. Impact on countries and Alliance

a) Gavi -supported countries face the greatest risk of an Ebola outbreak and a re
disproportionately affected by outbreaks when they occur. Access to vaccines
would enable affected countries to plan for the use of vaccines as part of their
preparedness and risk mitigation activities, thereby limiting the broader impact
on health syst ems and services (including routine immunisation).

b) It is important that countries have strong capacities in prevention, detection and
response, as these will be important also for outbreaks beyond Ebola. This will
require countries and partners to commit resources for new/ strengthened
surveillance and detection activities.

c) This report describes the high degree of uncertainty and need for new
knowledge and evidence ? across all aspects (duration of protection,
vaccin ation strategy, products, etc.). Countries will need to share experiences
and knowledge with counterparts , as they have been doing for recent Ebola
outbreaks, for example through the work of the Guinea n vaccination team in
the current outbreak in DRC .

d) Through engagement in Ebola, the Alliance will contribute to improved
understanding of the role of routine immunisation as part of epidemic and
pandemic response.

e) Section 4 highlights the different roles and responsibilities of Alliance
stakeholders in t he emergency stockpile mechanism and the need to ensure
that in the longer -term Ebola vaccines are considered as part of an integrated
approach to disease prevention and control.

2. Gender implications:

a) Risk: Studies report differences in exposure to EVD by gender, noting that while
men may be at risk of exposure to Ebola infection through initial spill over events
(e.g. through hunting), in protracted outbreaks women are at greatest risk of
exposure through t heir role as caregivers. In Gavi -supported countries where
the majority of HCWs are female, women are also at high risk of occupational
exposure.

b) Impact: In previous outbreaks, EVD has caused very high mortality in pregnant
women. Beyond Ebola infection, the impact of EVD on access to obstetric care
has also been documented. Finally, literature highlights the broader social and
economic impacts of the 2014 -2016 West African outbreak on girls and
women?s access to healthcare and participation in education and the labour
force.

Board -2019 -Mtg -3-Doc 08

Section A: Executive Summary
Context
The current time -limited Ebola funding envelope approved in 2014 will come to an
end in 202 0; furthermore, since the Programme and Policy Committee ( PPC )
discussion in October 2019 the first Ebola vaccine was licensed and pre -qualified
and licensed doses are expected to become available in mid -2020 , with other
vaccine s to follow . Following discussion by the PPC, t his paper proposes the
opening of a new funding window for a long -term licensed Ebola vaccine
programme. This would comprise support for reactive vaccination for outbreak
response through an emergency stockpile ? including vaccination in neighbouring
count ries ? and preventive vaccination of high -risk groups outside of an outbreak
(such as certain healthcare workers in countries classified as being at high risk) .

Questions this paper addresses
To consider the value of an Ebola vaccine programme this pape r adapts the
Vaccine Investment Strategy (VIS) evaluation approach for vaccines for epidemic
preparedness and response approved in June 2018. This framework presents the
four main questions :
1) Is the epidemic potential of Ebola Virus Disease sufficient to prioritise a
stockpile? (Section 2)
2) Would use of the vaccine be feasible/impactful (and in what contexts )?
(Sections 3,4 )
3) What is Gavi?s comparative advantage? (Section 5)
4) What are the financial implications? (Section 6)
Conclusions
The Board is asked to approve the opening of a funding window for an Ebola
vaccine programme with estimated financial implications of US$ 9 million for 2020
and US$ 169 million for 2021 -2025 . This funding window would replace the time -
limited Ebola envelop e approved in 2014. The Board is asked to approve retaining
the health systems strengthening ( HSS )/operational cost support window from the
2014 Ebola envelope in order to provide any required operational support for the
use of investigational vaccine reco mmended by WHO , for the interim period before
licensed vaccine doses are available in sufficient volume and the stockpile is
operational including in the ongoing outbreak and other outbreaks that may occur .

Report to the Board
Board -2019 -Mtg -3-Doc 09-Annex A
Annex A: Implications/Anticipated impact
Risk implication
? Risk of inaction: A decision to not move forward with the proposed changes in
an updated policy could potentially result in the policies being out of alignment
with the new strategy. It would continue to foster overly complex and
burdensome approaches and misaligned incentives. There could be a risk that
Gavi would not achieve its goals if its funding policies cannot adequately
support the new strategy.
? The proposed policy shifts respond to changes identified through examination
of performance in Gavi 4.0 or to changes required to deliver on Gavi 5.0. While
the proposed changes are intended to simplify and streamline the policies and
the processes that follow, changing the policies could result in confusion for
stakeholders. This could be mitigated through clear communication to
countries, partners and governance bodies, which would begin as early as the
start of 2020. Finally, certain changes, such as increased differentiation or
potentially higher funding in certain contexts (e.g. fragile countries), great er
flexibility to waive requirements and integration of grants could reduce current
ability to scrutinise use of funding. In finalising approaches and developing an
updated set of policies in phase II, the Secretariat will examine this potential
risk and i dentify mitigation measures at policy or operational levels.
Impact on countries
? The intention in making these policy changes is to at least maintain cost
neutrality for countries. For example, the shift in calculation for co -financing will
be carefully ex amined in the next phase to minimise distortions. However, in
some cases there might be a deliberate choice to adjust the level of funding for
a country. For example, in line with the Gavi 5.0 principle of equity, some
countries might see increased or redu ced funding for HSS depending on their
number of zero -dose or underimmunised populations. The Secretariat will
communicate early and transparently on these proposed implications to
minimise disruption .
? To better manage more integrated grants, countries wil l need to have increased
programme and financial management capacity. The degree of integration
could be further differentiated, with higher capacity countries rolling out
integrated grants, and increased investment in capacity building to prepare
countrie s with lower capacity.
? A stronger focus on differentiation and tailoring to country context will ideally
result in a more streamlined and responsive approach to addressing country
needs. For example, principles for differentiation in HSS grants, integrati ng
CCEOP, and removal of the universal PBF scheme will allow countries to better
design their proposals and use more suitable mechanisms to achieve their
goals. Finally, correcting policy rigidity (for example, co -financing waivers in
exceptional circumst ances) will allow the Secretariat to better respond to rapidly
changing contexts, enabling countries to access the appropriate support in a
timely manner.

Annex B: Paragraphs referenced in decision points for Eligibility & Transition and
Co -financing Policies
Paragraphs 1.8 to 1.1 3 of Doc 04 to the PPC ? Part A ? as amended by
discussions at the PPC
1.8 Support: As indicated by the Board at the Ottawa retreat, the main policy
flexibility envisaged is the tailoring of the accelerated transition phase
through a time -limited extension . This process would be guided by three key
principles: successful transition depen ds, first and foremost, on strong national
ownership and political will, with Gavi playing only a supporting role; any
extension should not create perverse incentives that could lead to repeated
underperformance, and any additional support should be strict ly limited to the
identified needs (e.g. if main bottlenecks are found to be programmatic, and not
financial, only HSS and/or Targeted Country Assistance (TCA) support would
be extended, and not vaccine financing support) ? this question will be
addressed in Phase II.
1.9 Definition: The identification of countries at risk of failing to transition
successfully would use a combination of outcome -level measures (e.g.
coverage and equity), complemented by health system component -level
analytics (e.g. data, supply chain, demand, human resources). This evaluation
would take into account both the absolute levels as well as the directionality of
recent change (i.e. not only if a country?s coverage is high or low, but also
whether it has been increas ing or decreasing). From the experience of other
partners and per Steering Committee (SC) guidance, it is unlikely that precise
metrics and thresholds could be predetermined that would be automatically
valid across all countries. Thus, the evaluation would need to be informed by
dialogue with national stakeholders and partners with relevant technical
expertise, to ensure it appropriately reflects country -specific contextual
considerations.
1.10 Any metrics and analytics used would be aligned with Gavi 5.0 strat egic
indicators and targets and would therefore rely on currently available
information and data sources. Importantly, these are also expected to help
guide Gavi?s engagement with countries early on , ensuring that
investments are adequately tailored and ta rgeted to strengthen programmatic
sustainability well before countries reach the accelerated transition phase. A
major benefit of this approach is that it allows for early dialogue within and early
visibility by the Alliance and the PPC/Board to emerging p rogrammatic
sustainability trends and risks.
1.11 Another key benefit of this approach is that it aligns decision -making and
accountability with the end -goals that Gavi support seeks to achieve ,
including a renewed emphasis on equity in the context of Gavi 5.0. Moreover,
it also explicitly recognises that a detailed analysis of different health system
components is key not only to provide a more nuanced understanding of the
main drivers of programmatic underperformance, but also to inform the design
of investme nts. Additional details can be found in Appendix 3 .

09 Gavi 5 0 Funding Policy Review pdf

Board -2019 -Mtg -3-Doc 09


Section A: Executive Summary
As part of operationalising Gavi 5.0, the Secretariat is undertaking a two -phase
review of Gavi?s existing funding policies: Eligibility & Transition Policy, Co -
Financing Policy and the Health System & Immunisation Strengthening
(HSIS) Support Framework 1. The purpose of this paper is to seek Board approval
on select policy changes as identified in th e first phase of the review and
recommended by the Programme and Policy Committee (PPC) . The se changes
reflect key strategic shifts in Gavi 5.0 and lessons learned from Gavi 4.0 .
Implementation experience , evaluations , consultations and analyses have
demonstrated that for the most part these Gavi policies function well . For example,
eligibility based on gross national income ( GNI ) per capita , requirements for
countries to co -finance a portion of vaccine procurement and the objectives for
health systems strengthening (HSS) and other non -vaccine funding continue to
support Gavi?s mission and strategic goals.
However, new directions for Gavi 5.0 and lessons learned from Gavi 4.0 drive a
proposed evolution of Gavi?s funding policies , particularly in view of the following :
? An increased focus on equity
? A stronger emphasis on programmatic sustainability
? Greater differentiation to target and tailor support to countries , particularly
fragile contexts
? Simplification and country ownership .
While the scope of this paper is focused on the proposed policy revisions , how
these policies are implemented will also be a key driver of success in the next
strategic period . The proposed policy changes are part of a much broader effort to
operationalise Gavi 5.0 (see Strategy Progress Update at Doc 04 for other
workstreams) .



1 The HSIS support framework operates in a similar manner as a Gavi policy, but with a greater
level of detail . Th e funding policy review would seek to resolve this inconsistency with other Board -
approved policies .

10 Update on MICs pdf

Board -2019 -Mtg -3-Doc 10


Section A: Executive Summary
Context
In June 2019, the Board requested the Secretariat to develop an institu tionalised
approac h for post -transition support to former Gavi -eligible countries and , in
response to inter -country equity concerns, to also explore extending this approach
to select neve r Gavi -eligible middle -income countries (MICs )1. This paper presents
an update to the Board on progress and the current th inking .
Questions this paper addresses
1. From the country perspective, what are the main barriers to immunisatio n
programme sustainability and new vaccine introductions (NVIs)?
2. Based on these findings , what could Gavi?s MICs approach include and how
will it leverage the Alliance and wider partner efforts?
Conclusions
Barriers to NVIs and sustaining immunisation programmes are complex and
interwoven. Countries perceive the sustainable f inancing of vaccines and
operations and vaccine price as key issues alongside a lack of political will,
restrictive procurement poli cies, inadequate data , and regulatory issues . Other
challenges include limitations in decision -making , insufficient supply chain capacity
and maintenance, and growing vaccine hesitancy. Manufacturers consider low
political will and regulatory barriers to be the main bottlenecks to N VIs and
emphasise the importance of addressing these alongside procurement support.
An MICs approach would be designed to prevent backsliding in former Gavi -
eligible countries and to stimulate the sustainable introduction of key missing
vaccines in former a nd never -Gavi eligible countries. Crucially, the approach would
also be designed to both mobilise and maximise the efficiency of countries ?
domestic resourcing for immunisation. It could include three inter -linked and
mutually reinforcing components to address these challenges: advocacy and
political will bui lding, targeted technical assistance, and an innovative financing
facility to support procurement . Each component could be tailored to the different
groups of countrie s. It would levera ge the Alliance and wider partner initiatives
including UNICEF Supply Division (SD ), the WHO MICs Strategy, and existing

Board -2019 -Mtg -3-Doc 11

Section A: Executive Summary
Context
The Gavi Board has ultimate responsibility for risk oversight in the Alliance and is
responsible for agreeing on overall risk appetite and understanding and agreeing
the most significant risks and related mitigation. It therefore receives an annual
comprehensive Risk & Assurance Report .
Questions this paper addresses
The Risk & Assuranc e Report 2019 has been reviewed and recommended for
approval by the Audit & Finance Committee (AFC) and guidance has been
incorporated in the final version annexed to this paper. The Gavi Alliance Board is
requested to approve the report attached as Annex A and to provide guidance on
the questions outlined below.
This year?s report includes an additional section sharing some preliminary thoughts
on how Gavi?s risk profile may shift under Gavi 5.0. Board members are invited to
discuss these and share prelimi nary views.
Conclusions
This year?s report shows that Gavi?s overall risk profile has remained relatively
stable with 16 top risks from last year still included and one having decreased to
become a medium risk.
Section B: Risk and Assurance Report
Portfolio discussion on top risks to the Alliance
1.1 This is the fourth annual Risk & Assurance Report which discusses the most
critical risks that could potentially have an impact on the ability of the
Alliance to achieve its mission and strategic goals. The report provides an
update on risk management across the Alliance, an analysis of macro -
trends affecting Gavi?s risk profile, an overview of key changes in top risks
compared to last year, and an overview of how current levels of risk
compare to Gavi?s risk appetite (i.e. the willingness to accept being
exposed). Detailed information including analysis of each top risk and
corresponding mitigation is included in the annexes of the report . Where

Section A: Executive Summary
Context
Key shifts in the Gavi 5.0 strategy objectives and goals necessitate new ways of
approaching monitoring and evaluation (M&E) that build up on the lessons learned
from Gavi 4.0.
Improvements in the Gavi 5.0 M&E system will include 1) developing a theory of
change underpinning the Gavi 5.0 strategy goals and objectives with well -
articulated causal pathways and key assumptions ; then using this to outline the
measurement and learning objectives from the outset of the strategy period,
establish indicators interlinked across the results chain (i.e. the measurement
framework) and risks that are routinely monitored and used for timely performance
management and shared accountability for delivering results.
In October 2020, t he PPC was requested to provide g uidance on the approach to
development of the 2021 -2025 M&E system, and more narrowly, the principles and
process for development of the Gavi 5.0 strategy performance measurement
framework , as described in this paper . More recently, the Gavi 5.0 Measurement
Framework Technical Working Group (TWG) discussed indicator options for
measuring ?zero -dose? children.

Board -2019 -Mtg -3-Investment Committee Chair Report


Section A: Introduction
? This report provides the Board with an overview of the activities of the
Investment Committee along with an update on market trends since the
Board last met in June 2019 . The Committee met four times in 2019.
? All performance results presented in Annex A are shown as of 31 October.
The long -term portfolio return is +9.4%. The short -term portfolio over which
the Investments team has control delivered a return of +3.0%. The total
portfolio as at October 2019 is US$ 1.6 billion of which US$ 902 million is
invested in the long -term portfolio. The remaining US$ 669 in the million
short -term portfolio includes US$ 190 million of cash proceeds that will be
invested back into the long -term portfolio. As a reminder, these figures do
not include the UNICEF Proc urement Account or IFFIm assets.
? Overall 2019 returns are positive across all asset classes despite periodic
market fragility related to stalled trade negotiations between the US and
China, the two larges t economies of the world. In addition, an agreemen t
between the European Union and the UK on how Brexit will be implemented
remains unresolved and dependent on the UK December General Election,
leaving trade, border and labour questions unanswered. Also looming in the
background is the US 2020 election, and whether there will be a re -profiling
of national priorities .
? In Q3 the US economy expanded at an annualized rate of 1.9%, solid but
not s pectactular. While the US labour market and consumer spe nding are
strong , weakening business inve stment and trade data , and inflation falling
short of its longer -run goal of 2% led the US Federal Reserve (?Fed?) to pre -
emptively cut rates in July, September and October in order to sustain the
current economic e xpansion , the longest since World War II . For now the
Fed will likely keep it s benchmark short -term interest rate at current levels
until data pointing to a materal weakness of the US economy emerges.
? Since the Great Financial Crisis in 2008 , inflation levels have remained
muted . However , the effect of tariffs will begin to appear in prices of raw
materials such as steel and aluminium as well as finished goods, and raise
inflation levels . Less er known and tracked factors that will also impac t
inflation include climate change measures meant to limit emissions. For
example, in 202 0 the International Maritime Organization (?IMO?) imposes
rules aimed at limiting air pollutant emissions by requiring ships to use more
expensive low -sulfur fue ls su ch as marine gasoil and ultr a-low -sulfer fuel
oil. From an investment perspective, rising inflation levels requiring
