Principles

GAVI activities and financial support should:

  1. Contribute to achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), focusing on performance, outcomes and results
  2. Promote equity in access to immunisation services between and within countries
  3. Support nationally-defined priorities, budget processes and decision-making
  4. Encourage country-driven approach through absence of earmarking of funds
  5. Focus on underused and new vaccines – as opposed to upstream research and development
  6. Contribute to the development of innovative funding models and means of ensuring performance in the implementation of country programmes
  7. Align the institutional obligations and mandates of GAVI Alliance partners
  8. Be catalytic and time-limited (though not necessarily short-term) and not replace existing sources of funding
  9. Support activities that become financially sustainable, or do not need to be sustained to accomplish their purpose
  10. Make vaccines and related technologies more affordable for poor countries through market influence and innovative business models
  11. Operate in transparent, accountable, efficient and effective ways
  12. Align with the principles of aid harmonisation as agreed by OECD/DAC Paris High Level Forum

GAVI has also endorsed the Global Health Partnership’s best practice principles, which are based on the OECD/DAC 2005 Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness.
