Report of the Chief Executive Officer


14 November 2013
Dear Board Members,
Our meeting in Phnom Penh comes at a n important point for the Alliance, more than
half way through the current strategy period. We are in the midst of an unprecedented
acceleration in GAVI -supported programmes ? with more than one vaccine launch
every five days on average in the remainder of 2013 ? whi le we also begin to cast our
minds forward to GAVI?s future. In Cambodia, we will discuss the key elements of our
post -2016 strategy, as well as some more immediate strategic issues (e.g., polio, our
new vaccine investment strategy, enhanced support for countries during the
graduation phase ). And we will update you on our progress since we last met and our
continued efforts to ensure we fully deliver on our current strategy.
Taking stock of our overall progress
A number of Board members joined us for the Mid -Term Review (MTR) in Stockholm
on October 30. As you know this meeting , whose theme was ?Delivering Together?,
was intended to report on results against the commitments we all made to achieve
the 2011 -15 strategy at our replenishment in London. Given the emphasis on mutual
accountability, I was delighted by the level of attendance ? with over 150 participants
including Ministers and other senior leaders from partners, donors, implementing
countries, civil society and manufacturers . We had a numbe r of frank conversations
about how we can improve our work, especially in areas where we are facing the
greatest challenges. I believe that the open and transparent dialogue at the MTR
demonstrates the strength and value of our Alliance. The meeting was co -hosted by
President John Mahama of Ghana and Minister Hillevi Engstr?m of Sweden, both of
whom spoke powerfully about GAVI? s impact. President Mahama has agreed to act
as a Champion for replenishment and ? given his country is currently projected to
imple ment more GAVI programmes than any other during this period ? I cannot think
of a better spokesperson for the value of immunisation and the GAVI model.
The overall message of the MTR was positive . As I described in my email to Board
members, we are on track to achieve or surpass all of our Mission Indicator targets,
immunising over 243 million additional chi ldren and averting more than 3.9 million
future deaths 2011 -15 . By the end of 2013, we will have vaccinated 145 million
additional children since Ja nuary 2011 and averted 2 million future deaths , which is
one of the factors which has helped reduce child mortality in GAVI countries from 78
per 1,000 live births to 73 in just 2 years . By the end of this year , we will have
reached a total of 440 million children and averted approximately 6 million deaths
since GAVI was created in 2000 . We heard from several implementing countries
about the impact that this is having on the ground, including President Mahama who
spoke passionately about the contribution of immunisation to health and development

Agenda item : 07
Category: For Decision
Strategic goal : Affects all strategic goals
Section A: Overview
Purpose of the report 1
1.1 Adopted in 2010, the current GAVI Alliance strategy covers the period
2011 -15. In April 2013, GAVI initiated a process to design its 2016 -20
strategy. The timing of the process intends to ensure that a new strategy is
in place for the upcoming replenishment cycle. With the replenishment
meeting planned for Q4 2014 or early 2015, the GAVI Board would need
to adopt its new strategy in June 2014. As with t he previous strategy ? and
at the behest of the Board and donors ? GAVI is setting ambitious goals
for its next phase and will then fundraise to match that ambiti on.
1.2 The proposed strategic shifts presented in this paper were generated
through a systematic process of interviews and consultations and a
landscape analysis . At each phase, responses were analysed to
determine where there was consensus and where there were diverging
views (see myGAVI for a summary of process).
1.3 Of note, some of the decisions that will be taken during this Board meeting
will have potential implications on the new strategy. These include in
particular the decision on new vaccines presented in the Vaccine
Investment strategy (see Doc 08 ), on polio and routine immunisation (see
Doc 13 ), and on GAVI?s engagement with graduating countries (see Doc
14 ).
Executive summary 2
2.1 The context: The GAVI Alliance was launched at the World Economic
Forum in 2000 - the same year that the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs) were agreed. Its aim was to e nsure that children in the poorest
countries had equitable access to new and underused lifesaving vaccines,

Strategic goal : Affects all strategic goals
Section A: Overview
1 Purpose of the report
1.1 This report is part of the quarterly risk monitoring process based on the
GAVI ?risk register? to track the evolution of the key risks faced by the
GAVI Alliance in fulfilling its mission. This risk report is the regular update
to the Board and is based on the assessment conducted at the end of the
third quarter 2013 .
2 Recommendations
2.1 The Board is requested to give guidance on the key risks outlined in this
paper and the mitigation strategies put in place as well as identify
additional risks, as appropriate.
3 Executive summary
3.1 As of the end of the third quarter 2013, the following items were identified
as high risks for the A lliance as part of the risk review process (i.e. the
residual level risk was high after the mitigation strategy ha d been
implemented) .
(a) Vaccine management in country: Owing to the constraints in
vaccine supply and the relatively expensive cost of the vacci nes that
GAVI supports , it is critical that all efforts are applied to ensure
effective management of the vaccine s in GAVI countries, and most
importantly minimising misuse . National governments are ultimately
responsible for vaccine management ; however, under the business
plan the GAVI Alliance provides resources to WHO and UNICEF to
support the mitigation strategies (e.g. Effective Vaccine Management
assessments, support to cold chain refurbishment etc .). In addition,

further development of the risk management processes at the Secretariat.
Executive summary 3
3.1 As noted in the report, the ERM framework established in GAVI is effective
and operates well; many of the processes and methods are consistent
with best practice. ERM is a process which should be continually reviewed
and enhanced as an orga nisation grows and matures, and certain fin dings
are made which would strengthen the fram ework of risk identification and
management.
Risk implication and mitigation 4
4.1 The audit work undertaken is intended to be an evaluation of the existing
processes of risk management; once recommendations are implemented,
GAVI?s risk management processes will be enhanced.

1 Purpose of the report
1.1 The Programme and Policy Committee (PPC) considered the attached
paper on polio and routine immunisation at its meeting of 9-10 October
2013.
2 Executive Summary ? Update
2.1 This report provides an update on questions raised by the PPC and on
financial estimates. It seeks a decision from the Board related to GAVI?s
complementary role in strengthening routine immunisation and supporting
introduction of inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) as part of the polio
eradication effort and in the implementation of the Global Polio Eradication
Initiative?s (GPEI?s) Polio Eradication and Endgame Strategic Plan (2013 -
2018). The PPC has proposed recommendations, exemp ting IPV from a
number of GAVI?s established policies, due to the exceptional context of
polio and the global public good nature of eradication.
2.2 Since the PPC meeting, the GAVI Alliance Secretariat and GPEI have
continued to refine budget estimates (see s ection 4) . Refinements have
focused on 1) estimates of vaccine and introduction grant costs; 2)
estimates of country readiness costs; and 3) business plan -related costs.

Section A Overview
1 Purpose of the report
1.1 Following the discussion on graduation at the Board retreat held in March
2013, the purpose of this cover note is to present to the Board an
approach for GAVI?s engagement with graduating countries . The detailed
report presented to the Programme and Policy Committee (PPC) is
attached to this cover note .
2 Executive Summary ? Update
2.1 Due to a scheduled joint meeting with the AFC, the PPC had insufficient
time for a full discussion on the Secretariat recommendations in relation to
support to be provi ded to graduating countries. Specifically, t he PPC
requested further time to discuss and understand the Secretariat
recommendations on HSS support for countries with a DTP3 coverage
below 90% and providing access to a graduation grant for graduating
countries ( recommendations 2.1 (a) ii and iii in the attached PPC report).
The PPC therefore deferred a decision on those particular
recommendations until its next meeting scheduled for 2014 .
2.2 At the end of the meeting PPC members reco gnised that the PPC
recommendatio n as agreed (see below in paragraph 3.1) only applied to
countries who would enter the graduation track after 31 December 2013
and therefore countries that are currently on the graduating track would
not have access to cash support to assist them in prepar ing for graduation .
Since the PPC meeting, representatives of graduating countries have
raised this as a strong concern with the Secretariat.
2.3 In view of the above concerns , the Chair of the PPC has requested that
the PPC hold a teleconference to discuss these issues prior to the Board

This report is for information . 2.1
Executive summary 3
The Democratic Republic of C ongo (DRC), India, Nigeria and Pakistan 3.1
continue to be a focus due to the large numbers of unimmunised children,
political and systemic complexity, the amount of GAVI funding and the
changing epidemiological si tuation . I ntensified engagement and strong
commitment from Alliance partners is yielding progress. The Secretariat
has increased the number of visits to these priority countries to strengthen
the partnership with government s, deepe n understanding of the co untry
context and challenges , and improve management of GAVI program me s.
Sustainable domestic financing for immunisation continues to be a 3.2
challenge for DRC. GAVI?s tailored approach for DRC seeks to work with
the Government over the next three years to improve budget planning and
execution and to break the Government?s cycle of GAVI co -financing
default. The tailored approach also proposes to increase GAVI
investments to rehabilitate the cold chain and vaccine management.
Nigeria is finalising a National Routine Immunisation Strategic Plan that
provides a harmonised work plan incorporating routine, polio and SIAs.
GAVI?s tailored approach for Nigeria will support the implementation of the
Government?s plan. Tailored approach documents for DRC and Nigeria
are expected to be finalised by end November. Progress on other tailored
