2. GAVI/Vaccine Fund in Phase 2—Executive Secretary Report
- It is clear that the GAVI alliance and immunization in general will continue to have a major role in achieving the MDGs.
- In the future it would be helpful to set aside
time for in-depth discussion of policies raised in the Executive
Secretary report.
- The strategic objectives must articulate GAVI’s
unique contribution within global health and development, and allow
individual partners to focus on their respective areas of expertise in
order to avoid duplicative efforts. More clarity is needed on GAVI’s
mandate so that there is no confusion as to what GAVI supports or is
prepared to support.
- Indicators of progress must be specifically
spelled out and deliverables made as tangible as possible, with clear
links to impact on disease burden, including morbidity and mortality.
- Influences on the vaccine markets, and
programmatic sustainability, should also be measured as they will be
key deliverables for phase 2.
- While broader, systems support is crucial for
any health initiative, immunization must remain the core focus of
GAVI/VF support. This should be clearly reflected in both the
objectives and principals.
- The converged entity will retain two independent
Boards for legal and financial reasons; to ensure the greatest utility
of these bodies their complementary and distinctive roles need to be
clearly defined.
DECISIONS
The Board:
2.1 Endorsed the joint GAVI/VF principals.
Requested that the new objectives should be
revised based on the discussion. Quantified, time-limited indicators to
measure objectives need to be defined. It may be appropriate to use the
GAVI Partners’ meeting in December to obtain endorsement of the new
objectives from a broader community.
2.3 Agreed that a joint EC meeting would help clarify respective roles of the GAVI and Vaccine Fund Boards.
2.4 Welcomed the commitment by the Executive Secretary to:
2.4.1 Develop a new integrated financial system for the
joint GAVI/VF Secretariat to enable simpler transactions and clearer
representation of accountability and resource flows.
2.4.2 Develop systems to better track the performance
of the Secretariat, and the added value of the partnership, against
defined deliverables.
