Four GAVI Task Forces were established to address specific issues of concern to the Board. Task Forces are funded and managed by their respective lead agency(ies), and include representatives of the relevant partner agencies.

Financing Task Force (FTF) The World Bank and The Vaccine Fund, co-chairs

The FTF is responsible for increasing the understanding of why there is inadequate funding for vaccines and immunization in the poorest countries and identifying strategies to improve the capacity of governments, donors and development banks to finance needs.
