GAVI Alliance Board Paper on Prioritization Principles

in

Given finite donor funding and the likelihood of future scarcity, the GAVI Alliance requested an analysis of possible parameters to allow for effective and fair allocation and prioritization of resources. In a paper presented to the Board in November 2009, a set of principles to help guide this tough decision-making process was proposed.

Nina Schwalbe, Managing Director Policy and Performance, presented to the GAVI Alliance Board a proposed set of principles to guide the Board’s prioritization decisions, in an effort to best make use of scarce resources. The proposal focused on numerous potential parameters, including first and foremost honoring current commitments, considering a narrower focus on targeted vaccines, and establishing criteria to regulate funding decisions on new program applications.
