Principles

GAVI Alliance activities and/or 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 within and among countries
  3. Support nationally-defined priorities, budget processes and decision-making
  4. Be supportive of country participation through absence of earmarking of funds
  5. Focus on underused and new vaccines – as opposed to upstream research and development activities
  6. Contribute to the development of innovative models and approaches that can be introduced and applied more broadly
  7. Be coherent with GAVI Alliance partners' individual institutional obligations and mandates
  8. Be catalytic and time-limited (though not necessarily short-term) and not replace existing sources of funding
  9. Support activities that over time become financially sustainable, or do not need to be sustained in order to have accomplished their catalytic purpose
  10. through market impact and innovative business models render vaccines and related technologies more affordable for the poorest countries
  11. be based on accountability, transparency, efficiency and effectiveness
  12. be consistent with the principles of 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.
