Programme policies
Co-financing policy
Co-financing means that countries contribute to the cost of GAVI-supported vaccines by procuring some of the required vaccine doses with non-GAVI funds. The level of required co-financing takes into account a country’s ability to pay and is dependent on its income (GNI) per capita.
Country Eligibility policy
GAVI aims to focus its funding support on the world’s poorest countries most in need of support. Eligibility is therefore determined by national income with all countries with a Gross National Income (GNI) per capita below or equal to US$1,500 (according to World Bank data for the latest available year) qualifying for support. Under the revised eligibility policy, there are currently 56 “GAVI-eligible” countries.
Gender policy
The GAVI Alliance has a special commitment to helping everyone in the developing world gain equal access to vaccines and health care, whether they are women or men, girls or boys.
Graduation policy
GAVI aims to focus its support on the poorest countries. Therefore, countries whose Gross National Income (GNI) per capita crosses the GAVI eligibility threshold (currently US$1,500) enter a graduation process and are no longer eligible to apply for new GAVI funding.
Prioritisation policy
In June 2010, the GAVI Board approved a mechanism which allows the ranking of technically sound proposals from GAVI-eligible countries and the subsequent prioritisation of funding choices.
Vaccine donation policy
Donations of vaccines by industry to international organisations or to governments can bring benefits if properly managed, but also carry certain risks.

Transparency and accountability policy
On January 1, 2009, GAVI enacted a new Transparency & Accountability Policy that governs the management of all cash-based support to GAVI eligible countries.
