Managing the Gavi Transition

Gavi provides a variety of support to lower income countries with the goal of accelerating equitable uptake of vaccines, increasing effectiveness and efficiency of immunisation service delivery as an integrated part of strengthened health systems, and improving the sustainability of national immunisation programmes. As countries cross the World Bank’s low-income country threshold, Gavi begins to wind down its financial commitments, while countries increase their co-financing until they become fully self-financing. During the transition process, Gavi intensifies its support to help countries achieve financial and programmatic sustainability. More information about the Gavi transition process can be found on Gavi’s website.

Gavi’s vision for a successful transition is one in which countries have successfully expanded their national immunisation programmes with vaccines of public health importance and sustain these vaccines post-transition with high and equitable coverage of target populations, while having robust systems and decision-making processes in place to support the introduction of future vaccines.
