Board -2023 -Mtg -04 -Doc 01e -Annex K 1
Report to the Board
6-7 December 2023
Annex K: Implications and Anticipated Impact
1. Overview of risks and implications
• Gavi Secretariat and Alliance partners resources: anticipated workload
for the expansion of the meningococcal programme is expected to be
covered for the most part with the current resources allocated for the
meningococcal programme implementation within the Secretariat, while
incremental support is reque sted for the initial programme design and
implementation. Competing priorities of multiple programmes being
supported by partners also have a risk to limit their bandwidth; resources
currently supporting MenACV rollout are anticipated to also support the
implementation of MMCV, with incremental resources allocated through
PEF for the period 2024 -2025 (See Table 5).
• Reputational risk: Gavi is one of the key partners for the Defeating
Meningitis by 2030 global road map which includes the rollout of a MMCV
to mitigate the risk of meningococcal serogroups predominantly causing
epidemics. If there is a slower pace of introductions due to operational
complexity or fund availability, there is a risk that thes e objectives would not
be met. To mitigate this, there is a close collaboration with partners which
will continue through a dedicated working group to support the programme
design and monitor the implementation and consider further changes which
could be r eflected in future forecasts.
• Countries uptake: given the increased cost per dose for MMCV compared
to MenACV and the competing priorities including outbreaks and expanded
menu of vaccines available for countries in the African meningitis belt, there
is a risk that MMCV introduction would be deprioritis ed. To partially mitigate
this there have been regional consultations for the Defeating Meningitis by
2030 road map which include advocacy for the upcoming MMCV, in addition
to workshops planned with highest risk countries in 2024 -2025 (S ee Table
5 under Foundational Support and Strategic Focus Areas support) as well
as continued work with priority countries to support their plans for
introduction of meningococcal vaccines.
• Epidemiological risk: the inherent unpredictability of the meningococcal
meningitis epidemiology and additional impact due to climate change 1 might
shift the risk profile of the countries in the African meningitis belt, changing
the need and eligibility for campaigns and overall prioriti sation of MMCV
introduction. To mitigate this there is the continued availability of the
meningococcal vaccines through a stockpile, in addition to the expectation
of countries carrying out risk assessments to inform their strategies for
MMCV implementation and continued engagement wi th identified high risk
countries to support their efforts to address emerging meningococcal risks.
1 As meningitis is considered a climate -sensitive disease, changes in rainfall patterns, heatwaves, dry season and
population movements would have an impact in its risk profile.

Charter for Ethics, Risk,
and Compliance (ERC)
at Gavi Doc 01e - Annex J
2
Gavi helps save lives and protects people’s
health by increasing equitable and sustainable
use of vaccines. The scope of Gavi’s operations
is significant, involving local, national through
international partners, with a geographic footprint that
extends across much of the globe including in some of
the world’s most challenging environments. The impact
of our work is multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary and
multi-generational.
We are supported by passionate and
committed individuals and we acknowledge
that doing the right thing is expected,
encouraged, acknowledged, and celebrated.
Gavi’s ethical values guide and influence
all decision-making, at every level of the
organisation. Our core values are foundational
to how each person affiliated with Gavi’s
should behave while advancing Gavi’s mission and
strategy. Gavi’s organisational culture is predicated on
the degree to which these core values are integrated into
decision-making, communication, information exchange,
and people processes such as hiring and promotion. The risks of not operating according to the
highest ethical standards are significant.
When we fail to behave in accordance with
our core values, Gavi may experience poor
decision-making, inappropriate behaviour by Governance
and Advisory Officials and Gavi Staff, a culture based on
entitlement rather than accountability, and impunity for
infractions and misconduct. This in turn could lead to
potential reputational damage and subsequent impact
on our funding capability and ability to help save lives.
As a result, the Board has chosen to focus on identifying
and mitigating risks; preventing misconduct, retaliation,
abuse of power, or corruption; promoting personal well-
being; guaranteeing accuracy in reporting; conserving the
resources entrusted to us; and complying with the laws,
policies, regulations, and agreements that govern our work.
Operating according to the highest ethical
standards is a prerequisite for all that
Gavi undertakes. An ethical organisational
culture is key to building trust in our ability to
deliver vaccines.
This Charter describes the goals, mandates,
services, structures, and resources which
Gavi has allocated for the establishment of
an independent Ethics, Risk and Compliance
Office, led by Gavi’s Chief Ethics, Risk and
Compliance Officer.

Gavi’s ethical values guide and influence
all decision-making, at every level of the
organisation. Our core values are foundational
to how each person affiliated with Gavi’s
should behave while advancing Gavi’s mission and
strategy. Gavi’s organisational culture is predicated on
the degree to which these core values are integrated into
decision-making, communication, information exchange,
and people processes such as hiring and promotion. The risks of not operating according to the
highest ethical standards are significant.
When we fail to behave in accordance with
our core values, Gavi may experience poor
decision-making, inappropriate behaviour by Governance
and Advisory Officials and Gavi Staff, a culture based on
entitlement rather than accountability, and impunity for
infractions and misconduct. This in turn could lead to
potential reputational damage and subsequent impact
on our funding capability and ability to help save lives.
As a result, the Board has chosen to focus on identifying
and mitigating risks; preventing misconduct, retaliation,
abuse of power, or corruption; promoting personal well-
being; guaranteeing accuracy in reporting; conserving the
resources entrusted to us; and complying with the laws,
policies, regulations, and agreements that govern our work.
Operating according to the highest ethical
standards is a prerequisite for all that
Gavi undertakes. An ethical organisational
culture is key to building trust in our ability to
deliver vaccines.
This Charter describes the goals, mandates,
services, structures, and resources which
Gavi has allocated for the establishment of
an independent Ethics, Risk and Compliance
Office, led by Gavi’s Chief Ethics, Risk and
Compliance Officer.
