Fifth GAVI Board Meeting, 21-22 June 2001, London, England
June 2001
Relationship between the Vaccine Fund and GAVI
DISCUSSION
While the
proposed logo for the Vaccine Fund received enthusiastic support from
the GAVI Board, the Board requested that more work be done on the design
of a new GAVI logo; once this is received the appropriateness of a GAVI
logo should be discussed.
Discussion
of a new GAVI logo will be via email/teleconferences, so that the final
decision can be made by the time of Children’s Summit in September. This
would coincide with the first meeting of the new Vaccine Fund board in
New York.
Systems to
increase linkages between GAVI and the Vaccine Fund, especially between
the two Boards, the GAVI Secretariat and Fund management, the GAVI
Working Group and Fund Executive Committee, must be further developed.
The linked
but distinct roles of GAVI and the Vaccine Fund would be better
understood if the role of GAVI that is not directly related to the
Vaccine Fund could be more clearly defined.
DECISIONS
The Board:
-
endorsed
the name change of the Global Fund for Children’s Vaccines to ‘The
Vaccine Fund’ and endorsed the new logo selected by the Fund Board;
-
endorsed
the recommendation that GAVI and the Vaccine Fund have separate but
mutually reinforcing logos and graphic identities, and that language
to convey the relationship, such as ‘GAVI: partnering with the Vaccine
Fund’, be used;
-
recommended that the outcome of the branding study on GAVI and the
Fund be rapidly disseminated to the different levels of the GAVI
partners, in order to promote consistent messages throught the GAVI
network;
-
endorsed
the idea of increased linkages through common supervision of the GAVI
Secretariat and Fund management by the Working Group and the Executive
Committee of the Fund;
-
requested
that the relationships among the partners in the Alliance be further
explored and discussed, especially in regard to the two Boards.
