17 Governance Committee Update pdf
GAVI Alliance Board Meeting, 16 -17 June 2010 Doc 17 ? Governance Committee Update
FOR INFORMATION
GAVI Secretariat, 2 June 2010 1
The Governance Committee of the GAVI Alliance Board has held two meetings
since the November 2009 board meeting. This paper provides a brief summary of
issues discussed.
Governance Committee Update
The Governance Committee is responsible for ensuring the smooth operations of
GAVI?s governance structure. It serves as a nominating body for new board
members, evaluates and oversees the functioning of other committees, and
develops and enforces key gove rnance policies. This is a summary of Governance
Committee activities as a result of its meetings on 17 March and 19 April:
Chair/Vice Chair Participation : The Governance Committee recommended the
Board amend the By -Laws to ensure that if a Representative Board Member is
appointed Chair or Vice Chair of the Board or of any Board Committee, that
individual will not express his/her applicable Eligible Organisation or Eligible
Constitue ncy viewpoint in deliberations nor participate in voting at any Board or
Board Committee meeting. The Board later approved this amendment.
Second Board Seat for CSOs : Governance Committee Member Alan Hinman
informed the Committee that the CSO constituency would request the Board to
create a second seat for the constituency. A paper on this issue is included in the
board pack (Doc 20).
Gender Policy Guidelines : The Governance Committee reviewed and
recommended to the Board a set of guidelines for integrating GAVI?s Gender Policy
into the Board ?s nominations process and, in particular, to assist the Board in
achieving greater gender balance . A paper on this issue is included in the board
pack (Doc 18).
Board Composition : The Committee nominated and the Board appointed two board
members and five alternate board members. Additional board member candidates
are being considered for nomination at the Committee?s 15 June meeting. These
nominations will be tabled to the Board in due course.
Committe e Composition : Committees were refreshed for the 2010 year. In
particular, the Board welcomed Gustavo Gonzalez -Canali as chair of the Programme
and Policy Committee and expressed its thanks to Sissel Hodne -Steen who chaired
the Committee since October 2008. Additional nominations will be tabled to the
Board in due course.
Board/Committee Self -Assessment: The self -assessments for the Board,
Executive Committee , and Governance Committee are being completed and the
results presented to the Board toward the conclusion of the June board meeting.
The initial rounds of self -assessment identified the value of better risk oversight,
crafting committee workplans, and im proving and expanding the board member
orientation process; each of these areas have or are being addressed by committees
and the Secretariat governance team.

18 Guidelines on Board Gender Balance pdf
GAVI Alliance Board Meeting, 16-17 June 2010
Doc 18 ? Guidelines on Board Gender Balance
FOR DECISION
Office of GAVI Alliance Board Chair,
2 June 2010 1 In November 2009 the GAVI Board and Governance Committee each discussed a
need to establish guidelines for integrating GAVI?s Gender Policy into the Board
nominations process in order to achiev e gender balance in Board membership.
The Governance Committe e considered a Chair?s paper containing the draft
Guidelines on GAVI Alliance Board Gender Balance at their meeting on 17 March.
After making some small amendments, the Governance Committee approved these
Guidelines and now recommended them to the Board.
The G uidelines aim to:
o clarify the terms of the Governance Committee?s mandate to bring the
nominations process into compliance with the Gender Policy;
o specify procedures for both the achievement and maintenance of a
gender - balanced Board;
o set expectati ons for nominating entities.
The Governance Committee decided that guidelines on establishing and
maintaining gender balance on the Board would contain the following key elements :
? The ratio at which gender balance will be reached is set at 60 - 40.
? Gender b alance will be calculated separately for Board Members and
Alternate Board Members.
? The implementation date of the Guidelines will commence with vacancies
occurring as of 1 January 2011 (in other words, candidates that may be
considered starting with the D ecember 2010 vacancies).
? New appointments to the B oard shall have both male and female nominees.
The nominees from the under - represented gender will receive preference for
the position, until gender balance targets have been achieved (unless the
exception s clause is invoked).
? A margin of appreciation can be applied under an exceptions approval
procedure.
The Governance Committee recommends that the Board approve the Guidelines for
adoption and inclusion as an Annex to the GAVI Gender Policy .
Guidelines on the GAVI Alliance Board Gender Balance
Background
In July 2008, the Board adopted GAVI?s Gender Policy which requires GAVI to
?apply a gender perspective to all its work? and states that ?gender balance in all
areas of GAVI work should be ensured, including throughout the governance
structures, to the extent possible, as well as through staffing (all level) and
consultancies.?

20 CSO Representation on the Board pdf
GAVI Alliance Board Meeting, 16 -17 June 2010 Do c 20 ? CSO Representation on the Board
FOR DECISION
2 June 2010 1
Because of the important role that civil society plays in immunisation and the GAVI
Alliance, the CSO constituency believes that there should be two civil society seats
on the GAVI Alliance Board ? one representing Northern (industrialised country)
CSOs and the other representing Southern (developing country) CSOs.
The Governance Committee will consider this request during its meeting on 15 June
2010 so it can advise the Board. Should the Governance Committee recommend a
new seat be created, there may be implications for the GAVI statutes and by -laws,
which the Secretariat understands some Board members may need to consult on
within their organisations and constituencies. To facilitate this , the paper for the
Governance Committee is also provided for the Board . It contains the following :
? A letter from Faruque Ahmed (CSO board member) and Alan Hinman (CSO
alternate board member) requesting that there be two Civil Society seats on
the Board ? main text
? An outline of the activities the Secretariat is engaged in with CSO s. This was
requested by the Board Chair during discussion of this issue at the 17 March
Governance Committee ? Annex 1 .
? Advice from General Counsel on adding a second CSO seat ? Annex 2 .
Civil S ociety C onstituency R epresentation on the Board
Letter from the civil society c onstituency
Dear GAVI Alliance Governance Committee Members,
On behalf of the GAVI Alliance Civil Society Constituency, we wanted to apprise you
of recent activities of Civil Society with respect to the GAVI Alliance and its mission.
Civil Society is playing a major role in immunisation s around the world and in the
activities of the GAVI Alliance. Civil Society delivers a high proportion of rural h ealth
care (including immunisation s) in the developing countries with the greatest
challenges; Civil Society has unique connections with the community and the
population at large, particularly those who are hard to reach; and Civil Society
Organisation s (C SOs) can be important advocates in resource mobili sation at
national and international levels. In addition, as GAVI has no official country
presence, CSOs can provide important feedback about the situation on the ground
that can inform discussions on key policy issues such as prioriti sation , co -financing,
supp ly strategy, etc.

funding: Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, and
Pakistan .1 In Afghanistan, the Health Systems Strengthening Coordinator in
the Ministry of Public Health said that ?It is the CSOs who are the only ones
operating at the field and in the rural areas. While in the beginning each CSO
had its own coping mechanism and way of solving problems, under the

21 Approving the Annual Accounts pdf
GAVI Alliance Board Meeting, 16-17 June 2010
Doc 21 ? Approving the Annual Accounts
FOR DECISION
GAVI Secretariat, 2 June 2010 1 Because of differences in the governance and audit calendars, the Board does not
meet at a convenient time to consider and approve the annual financial statements.
Further, the Statutes forbid delegation to the Executive Committee. The result
would be sp ecial phone meetings each year to make this approval.
The Audit and Finance Committee reviewed options to streamline the process and
in order of preference recommended to:
1. Amend the S tatutes to a llow a d elegation to the EC to approve the accounts .
2. Ame nd the By - Laws to a llow n o o bjection v oting by the Board .
The Governance Committee would need to consider the governance implications of
these options in order to advise the Board.
The Board is requested to:
? Consider and, if thought fit, act on the reco mmendation of the Governance
Committee which may be determined on 15 June 2010 .
Approving the Annual Accounts
Each year, the Audit and Finance Committee reviews and the Board approves the
annual financial statements. Typically, six to seven months are needed to prepare
and audit the financials since the Alliance consolidates the financial positions of
affiliated entities such as the IFFIm Company. The treasurers and boards of those
entities must themselves complete their audit processes before the Alliance audit
can conclude.
In a normal year, the Board meets twice: once in June and again in November or
December. Unfortunately, neither date fits with the audit calendar. The June date
occurs too early for the accounts to be ready. On the other hand , the financial
statements cannot wait to be approved during the Board?s second meeting, as the
Alliance has reporting responsibilities to certain donors by the end of September
each year.
Normally, to address time sensitive issues, the Board makes delegations to the
Executive Committee allowing it to act on its behalf between board meetings.
However, the Statutes state that ?the Board may delegate its powers?except that no
committee or person shall be delegated the power to?approve the annual
a
ccounts.? 1
Therefore, the Board cannot delegate this task to the EC and, should
nothing change, will need to meet by telephone in September each year in order to
approve the accounts.
On 25 May, the Audit and Finance Committee considered some remedial options for
s
treamlining board approval. They are listed here for consideration.

FOR DECISION
The Executive Committee approved India for DTP-HepB-Hib pentavalent vaccine
in July 2009 with an overall commitment for US$ 165 million through 2011. Until
recently the Indian Government has indica ted that it is reconsidering plans to
introduce pentavalent vaccine; GAVI indica ted to the Government that we would
seek the views of the Board at its June meeting as to whether the $165 million
should be reallocated. The latest communication from the Government proposes
that the vaccine should be introduced in la te 2010 in five states instead of the
original ten.
The Board is asked to decide from among the following options:
? Option 1: Reallocate $165 million to other countries, and invite India to
resubmit a new proposal when ready
? Option 2: Agree to the proposal to fund introduction in a limited number of
states. This would entail asking India for a new plan which includes
costing in the five states. The balance would be reallocated to other
countries
? Option 3: Leave the India programme as it stands
GAVI support to India
India has the largest population and disease burden of any GAVI-eligible country.
GAVI has made a significant commitment to India with mixed results. Our support
for injection safety has catalysed the adopt ion of a national policy enabling India to
sustain the use of safe injection practi ces entirely with its own resources. The
introduction of Hepatitis B on the other hand has been slow.
In November 2007, the Board approved a new financial ceiling of US$ 350 million
until 2011 which subsumed all the previous approvals.
1 India applied for DTP-HepB-
Hib pentavalent vaccine, and the Executive Committee approved $165 million in July
2009.
2 As India had yet to receive cabinet approval to roll out pentavalent vaccine,
UNICEF Supply Division was advised not to sh ip the vaccines until GAVI received a
formal communication from India indicating internal approval.
Summary of communications between GAVI and the Indian Government
on the proposed introduction of pentavalent vaccine
? In December 2009, the Government al erted GAVI that the introduction of
penta was likely to be delayed because of a Public Interest Litigation (PIL),
filed in the Delhi High Court against t he introduction of new vaccines citing the
lack of disease burden as one of the key factors.
? In February 2010, India wr ote to GAVI stating, ?several procedural issues and

1 Section 17 of the 28-29 November 2007 Board Minutes 2 Section 2 of the 30 July 2009 Executive Committee Minutes 3 Letter received by Execut ive Office on 12 February 2010
The Executive Committee approved India for DTP-HepB-Hib pentavalent vaccine
in July 2009 with an overall commitment for US$ 165 million through 2011. Until
recently the Indian Government has indica ted that it is reconsidering plans to
introduce pentavalent vaccine; GAVI indica ted to the Government that we would
seek the views of the Board at its June meeting as to whether the $165 million
should be reallocated. The latest communication from the Government proposes
that the vaccine should be introduced in la te 2010 in five states instead of the
original ten.
The Board is asked to decide from among the following options:
? Option 1: Reallocate $165 million to other countries, and invite India to
resubmit a new proposal when ready
? Option 2: Agree to the proposal to fund introduction in a limited number of
states. This would entail asking India for a new plan which includes
costing in the five states. The balance would be reallocated to other
countries
? Option 3: Leave the India programme as it stands
GAVI support to India
India has the largest population and disease burden of any GAVI-eligible country.
GAVI has made a significant commitment to India with mixed results. Our support
for injection safety has catalysed the adopt ion of a national policy enabling India to
sustain the use of safe injection practi ces entirely with its own resources. The
introduction of Hepatitis B on the other hand has been slow.
In November 2007, the Board approved a new financial ceiling of US$ 350 million
until 2011 which subsumed all the previous approvals.
1 India applied for DTP-HepB-
Hib pentavalent vaccine, and the Executive Committee approved $165 million in July
2009.
2 As India had yet to receive cabinet approval to roll out pentavalent vaccine,
UNICEF Supply Division was advised not to sh ip the vaccines until GAVI received a
formal communication from India indicating internal approval.
Summary of communications between GAVI and the Indian Government
on the proposed introduction of pentavalent vaccine
? In December 2009, the Government al erted GAVI that the introduction of
penta was likely to be delayed because of a Public Interest Litigation (PIL),
filed in the Delhi High Court against t he introduction of new vaccines citing the
lack of disease burden as one of the key factors.
? In February 2010, India wr ote to GAVI stating, ?several procedural issues and
approvals are involved before introduction of pentavalent vaccine as part of
the routine immunisation programme. It will take us 4 months to finalise the
matter? .

FOR INFORMATION
CEO report to the Board
June 2010
Introduction
This report focuses mainly on the key decisions we need to take at this Board. This
meeting brings together a series of choices and policies asked fo r by the Board in 2009.
The decisions we take at this board will det ermine our ?ask? for the upcoming resource
mobilisation meeting and also determine how we continue to support (or not)
recommended country proposals. These high level decisions will determine whether
children in developing countries will be vaccinated, or not.
There have been a number of important devel opments since our meeting in Hanoi in
November; it has been a busy six months, not least as we lead into the MDG summit in
September and ensure t hat the contribution which imm unisation and the Alliance can
make is recognised. All of us will hav e welcomed the announcement at GAVI?s tenth
anniversary at the World Economic Forum by Bill and Melinda Gates of a decade of
vaccines, with a ten-year commi tment of an additional $10 billion to research, develop
and deliver vaccines. We were pleased t hat the first pneumococcal vaccine supply
agreements under the Advance Market Co mmitment have been signed. We have made
significant progress on the health systems funding platform, with the Board?s approval in
April, followed by approval by the Board of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis
and Malaria, and approval of our first programme in Nepal. The Netherlands hosted a
successful donors? meeting in March, w here donors decided to gather again around the
time of the MDG Summit in order to give GAVI a firmer financial basis upon which to
plan. Our retreat in May helped set our strat egic directions for the next five years.
We have continued to raise the profile of immunisation and of the Alliance in key
forums, such as at the World Economic Foru m, the UN Secretary General?s retreat on
women and children?s health in New York in April, the Women Deliver Conference in
Washington DC, and ? we antici pate ? the G8 Summit in Muskoka later this month. In
these and other places, we are making the ca se for GAVI?s strong contribution to the
task of improving women and children?s health. This gives us the means to help shape
the global debate, ensure our ef forts are increasingly integrated with those of others,
and raise funds.
However all this is set against a developing global financial crisis that emerged in 2008
? the worst recession in at least a generatio n ? with the consequent economic and fiscal
challenges for our donors and implementing count ries alike. The decisions that the
Board has before it this m onth in Geneva are in part about responding prudently to
these challenges, while at the same time ? as we agreed at the Board retreat ?
maintaining our ambition and therefore our momentum.

GAVI Alliance Board Meeting, 16 -17 June 2010 Doc 03 ? GAVI Alliance Strategy 2011 -2015
FOR DECISION
GAVI Secretariat, 2 June 2010 1
Drawing on discussion at the Board retreat (11 -12 May) and discussion and
recommendation of the Executive Committee (20 May), a ?final? draft of the GAVI
Alliance Strategy 2011 -2015 has been prepared for Board approval.
In addition, a draft concept note outlining the process for developing a comprehensive
business plan for the five -year strategic period has been prepared for information.
The Board is requested to:
? Appro ve the final str ategy matrix
GAVI Alliance Strategy 2011 -2015
In the period 2007 -2010, GAVI underwent a number of significant changes including a change
to its operational model and consolidation of its governance structure. Several fundamental
policies and programmes were implemented, including co -financing, gender, eligibility and
graduation. Resource mobilisation and vaccine investment strateg ies were developed, as well
as a platform for the introduction of new vaccines (Accelerated Vaccine Introduction ). Further,
GAVI supported health systems strengthening and ci vil society organisations for the first time.
Furthermore, on 1 January 2009, the GAVI Alliance was established as an autonomous
international organisation in Switzerland with privileges and immunities under a new Swiss Host
State Act.
With the impending end of the GAVI Alliance 2007 -2010 strategic planning period , in November
2009 the GAVI Alliance Board agreed to develop its second five year strategy and in so doing
review its strategic goals, operating principles and the application of its business model. The
new strategy is intended to cover the period of 2011 -2015 ? providing a framework for the future
deliverables and laying the groundwork for the a chievement of the GAVI Alliance? s aspirations
beyond 2015.
The change in governance structure has provided GAVI with the opportunity to consolidate its
strategic and budget planning processes. This will allow for increased accountability and
improved coordination.
Strategy 2011 -2015
Oversight
In November 2009, the Board endorsed a detailed pla n, timeline, and evaluation of resource
needs to support the strategy development process. It was agreed that the process would be
undertaken by the GAVI Secretariat under the coordination of the Deputy CEO and oversight of
the Executive Committee acting o n behalf of the Board.
