Target description and how it will help reach GAVI milestones
The GAVI Secretariat: services the Board and Executive Committee, including: working with the Board Chair to finalize meeting dates, locations and agendas; preparing all correspondence with Board and EC members; drafting and publishing the reports of the meetings and teleconferences; working with constituencies to nominate new members; providing human resource and financial support to developing country health ministry members;
--services the Working Group, including: managing all teleconferences and meetings; drafting meeting and teleconference agendas and reports;
--prepares and disseminates consistent documentation on GAVI priorities, policies and procedures;
--manages communications for the Alliance, including media relations, web site and quarterly publication
--arranges the Partners’ Meeting every two years.
ALL MILESTONES: GAVI needs well-functioning collaboration mechanisms achieved through Board, Working Group, Executive Committee, Partners’ Meeting etc., as well as increased awareness of immunization and GAVI’s unique contribution to ensure long-term commitment and resources.
Justification for selection of activities
The most significant costs for management of Board, EC and WG budget are related to travel and support costs for developing country representatives to participate - a requirement for GAVI to function.
GAVI Board has requested the GAVI Secretariat to assume a more active role in communications, especially in light of cessation of Advocacy and Communications Task Force and need for better alignment with Vaccine Fund resource mobilization activities.
Partners’ meeting is stipulated in GAVI founding documents and provides opportunity for information sharing, consultation, and high-level commitments.
