IFFIm sells bonds on the capital markets to raise funds for the GAVI Alliance, a public-private partnership which works to save children ’ s lives and protect people ’ s health by increasing access to vaccination in developing countries.

Julian Lob-Levyt, executive secretary of the GAVI Alliance, noted that an early version of pneumococcal vaccine is being widely used in developed countries with striking success in preventing disease.

* Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization ( GAVI )

The GAVI Alliance is a public-private global health partnership committed to saving children ’ s lives and protecting people ’ s health by increasing access to immunisation in poor countries.

The GAVI Alliance was launched in 2000, at a time when the distribution of vaccines to children in the poorest parts of the world had begun to falter.

Between now and 2015, GAVI can accelerate access to new vaccines that will save a further four million lives.

IFFIm provides certainty of funding for both GAVI and recipient countries, aiding long-term planning and short-term needs.

IFFIm financed more than 90 % of the guaranteed payment to UNICEF for initial doses of a pentavalent vaccine which immunises against five infectious diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, haemophilus influenzae type B ( Hib ) and hepatitis B. GAVI could not have made that commitment and upfront cash payment without IFFIm.

Countries that are eligible for GAVI support actively take the lead.

Since its launch in 2006, IFFIm has raised more than US $ 3 billion by tapping the capital markets and has effectively doubled the funds available for GAVI ’ s immunisation programmes.

In March 2010, the first supply agreements for the AMC against pneumococcal disease were signed by GAVI and two pharmaceutical companies.

GAVI ’ s ability to secure predictable long-term funding and prompt demand for vaccines positively shapes markets.

GAVI ’ s Advance Market Commitment ( AMC ) is a new approach to public health funding designed to stimulate the development and manufacture of affordable vaccines tailored to the needs of developing countries.

GAVI is now entering its second phase of funding, which extends through 2014.

She served on the board of The GAVI Fund, which helps to provide vaccines to developing countries.

Since IFFIm began in 2006, IFFIm funding has allowed GAVI to nearly double its expenditures in health programmes.

The report noted that not only do IFFIm-funded investments generate “ extremely good returns ,” but also that it likely helped GAVI save more than 2. 1 million lives.

In addition, IFFIm helped GAVI fund breakthrough vaccines quickly and securely.

Her Majesty Queen Rania, a member of the board of the GAVI Fund, pointed out that in the poorest regions of the world, two to three million children die of preventable diseases every year.

GAVI has the opportunity to help countries save more lives with the introduction of two new vaccines.

GAVI ’ s co-financing policy requires that recipient countries contribute towards the cost of the vaccines.

GAVI is a trailblazer in developing innovative methods to finance health programmes.

In an effort to isolate Germany, France went to great pains to woo Russia and the United Kingdom to its side, first by means of the Franco-Russian Alliance of 1894, then the 1904 Entente Cordiale with the U. K, and finally the Anglo-Russian Entente in 1907 which became the Triple Entente and eventually led Russia and the UK to enter World War I as Allies.
