Mission & Focus Areas

Gavi’s mission is to save lives and protect people’s health by increasing equitable and sustainable use of vaccines. Its 2026–2030 strategy aims to help lower-income countries immunise an additional 500 million children and avert 7–8 million future deaths.

Its work includes introducing and scaling up vaccines, strengthening health systems to improve equity in immunisation, supporting emergency vaccine stockpiles, and shaping vaccine markets. In 2024, Gavi reported 58 supported vaccine introductions and preventive campaigns, as well as 50 outbreak-response vaccination campaigns. It also reported that more than 72 million children were reached with supported routine vaccines that year.

The 2024 filing lists partner-support grants to organisations whose own missions include strengthening health systems and improving health outcomes. For example, Clinton Health Access Initiative describes its mission as enabling governments and the private sector to strengthen and sustain quality health systems in low- and middle-income countries. PATH says it works to improve healthcare, create affordable health products and advance effective health policies. Results for Development describes its work as helping create self-sustaining systems that support healthy, educated people.

Grantmaking

In 2024, Gavi reported 39 grants totaling $151,169,405. Grant sizes ranged from $9,688 to $87,688,260; the median was $521,195.

The largest listed grant was $87,688,260 to UNICEF for partner support. Other large awards included $12,569,078 to Clinton Health Access Initiative, $10,024,296 to JSI Research & Training Institute, $5,549,120 to Johns Hopkins University, and $4,785,426 to PATH—all for partner support. The filing also lists grants to the CDC Foundation, the World Bank, Results for Development Institute, Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, VillageReach, Zipline International and Nexleaf Analytics.

Gavi’s country-support guidelines describe applications for vaccine and cash support during the 2026–2030 strategic period. Countries must submit applications through Gavi’s Grants Management System; the application templates are for planning and preparation, not submission. The guidelines also describe support for outbreaks and emergencies. No general unsolicited-request policy or application deadline is stated.
