Toward the end of 2014, the GAVI Alliance will host a pledging conference to generate funds for activities to be carried out during 2016–2020. Launched as a public-private partnership in January 2000, GAVI supports immunization programs for children living in the world’s least developed countries. Drawing on donor contributions of $7.6 billion since the alliance’s first replenishment in 2011, GAVI has reported solid progress in reaching its goals for the period between 2011 and 2015. GAVI’s continued success is important to the United States for several reasons. This report reviews GAVI’s progress and challenges during the current phase of operations and offers recommendations for U.S. policymakers to consider as they develop an approach to the upcoming GAVI replenishment.
