DECISIONS

The Board:

13.1 Decided to continue to rely primarily upon partners to fund and implement R&D efforts and not to engage in specific R&D technology efforts at the present time.

13.2 Agreed that GAVI should build upon the current efforts of WHO to undertake a systematic “scan” of the landscape every other year to identify emerging technologies, conduct cost-effectiveness analysis, make recommendations, and advocate for R&D efforts.

13.3 Considered that pre-filled injection devices might be an important technology for GAVI to look at in the future.
