Progress seen in 2023 is a testament to the power of the Vaccine Alliance

Since Gavi was established in 2000 with a mission to save lives, reduce poverty and protect the world against the threat of epidemics and pandemics, it has helped vaccinate more than 1.1 billion children in 78 countries through the end of 2023 – and averted more than 18.8 million future deaths.

The progress seen in 2023 is a testament to the power of the Vaccine Alliance – from our core partners to the dedicated, passionate people in countries and communities upon whose hard work and expertise we rely every day to protect the next generation. The Alliance maintains a relentless focus on reaching the 11 million ‘zero-dose’ children who did not receive a single shot of basic vaccines in 2023.

As the core of Gavi’s work, life-saving immunisation represents a beacon of hope in these uncertain times: the foundation for the healthy future every child deserves, and on which our interconnected world depends.

Highlighting key data, partnerships and milestones, the 2023 Annual Progress Report offers insights into our progress last year, while facing the challenges ahead.

Gavi 5.0/5.1 mission and strategic goals

“Leaving no one behind with immunisation” is Gavi’s vision.

The Vaccine Alliance’s mission is: to save lives and protect people’s health by increasing equitable and sustainable use of vaccines. Six “mission indicators” reflect our overall progress against our aspirations for the 2021–2025 period. 

This mission is also supported by the following four strategic goals, each with its own set of strategy indicators.
