    • Gavi pledging conference

    China makes first aid commitment to Gavi

    Despite Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance’s ambitious $7.5 billion target, donors seem to be responding to the challenge. And for the first time, all BRIC donors have now committed to support the alliance. How much has the public-private partnership raked in so far?

    By Jenny Lei Ravelo // 27 January 2015

    Despite Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance’s ambitious $7.5 billion target, donors rose up to the challenge and pledged slightly more than the set goal: $7.539 billion. These commitments are a reflection of donors’ continued confidence not only in the alliance’s capability to deliver results but also to provide evidence of value for money.

    The United Kingdom remains Gavi’s biggest supporter, pledging $2.343 billion in support of the alliance’s work for the next five years. This was followed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation ($1.553 billion) and the United States ($1 billion), although U.S. commitment is only until 2018.

    As Devex previously reported, most of these commitments are higher than pledges for the current 2011-2015 period. The Gates Foundation previously pledged $1.32 billion, while the United States’ commitment was only at $533 million. A portion of the new U.S. pledge, however, is for 2015 as well.
