United States of America

The United States is one of the Vaccine Alliance’s original six donor countries and contributes to Gavi through direct contributions. U.S. global health assistance has emphasised ending preventable child deaths through high-impact, low-cost interventions. The provision of vaccines and immunizations through Gavi is an important component of these efforts. Moreover, the United States continues to be a key partner to Gavi by coordinating programmatic objectives to ensure greater efficiency and impact on the ground.

U.S. annual contributions to Gavi have increased from USD 48 million in 2001 to USD 290 million in 2020. At Gavi’s first pledging conference in June 2011, the United States pledged USD 450 million for the period 2012-2014. At the Gavi pledging conference in January 2015, the United States pledged USD 1 billion for the period 2015-2018. And at the Global Vaccine Summit in June 2020, the United States pledged USD 1.16 billion to Gavi for the period 2020-2023, subject to congressional approval. This consistent increase in support demonstrates the strength of the longstanding partnership between the United States and Gavi.

PROCEEDS TO GAVI FROM DONOR CONTRIBUTIONS & PLEDGES (2021-2025) AS OF 30 June 2021

Proceeds are funds made available to Gavi from donor contributions and commitments, either through cash payments made to Gavi, through frontloading via the capital markets of a future donor commitment to IFFIm, or through AMC funds released to Gavi via the World Bank. IFFIm proceeds are allocated over five-year periods coinciding with Gavi’s strategic periods. Proceeds for the current and future strategic periods are indicative until the end of each period and could be revised following changes in market conditions (interest rates or foreign exchange rates), the signing of new pledge(s) and/or changes in IFFIm’s disbursement profile.

'Future contributions: non-US$ contributions for Q3-Q4 2021 and for years 2021 and beyond are expressed in US$ equivalents as follows:

For signed contribution agreements: contributions are expressed in US$ equivalents using the exchange rates at the time of signing the respective donor grant agreements.

Due to IFFIm’s nature as a frontloading vehicle, yearly contributions paid into IFFIm can differ significantly from yearly proceeds transferred to Gavi.

'While IFFIm grants are irrevocable and legally binding, they are subject to a Grant Payment Condition that can potentially reduce the amount due by the donor in the event that a Gavi-supported programme country is in protracted arrears with the International Monetary Fund. As of 29 June 2021, there is no longer any reduction applied, as all countries from the reference portfolio have cleared their arrears with the IMF.
