Gavi Alliance

Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, was founded in 2000 with the core mission of increasing access to immunization in low-income countries. The organization operates as a public-private global health partnership, aiming to save lives and protect people's health by increasing equitable use of vaccines. Gavi provides funding for vaccines, strengthens health systems, and shapes vaccine markets to ensure sustainable supply and affordability. Its market focus is primarily on underserved regions where immunization coverage is critically low.

Notable affiliated individuals include Seth Berkley, who has served as CEO, and influential partners such as the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Gavi has achieved significant milestones, including immunizing over 888 million children and preventing more than 15 million future deaths since its inception. The alliance has had a profound impact on global health, particularly in reducing child mortality and combating vaccine-preventable diseases in the world's poorest countries.
