A background document provides information related to GAVI’s past experience with vaccine supply and procurement, the process followed to date for the development of the new strategy and the GAVI Secretariat’s assessment of potential implications and risks associated with the strategy.
What will GAVI do with the comments?
All comments submitted through the online form will be reviewed, compiled and incorporated as appropriate into a revised version of the Supply and Procurement Strategy. This revised version as well as the consolidated comments and feedback received during this consultation process will be presented to the Programme and Policy Committee (PPC) of the GAVI Alliance Board in September for review and further comments. The PPC will then present the strategy to the Board for final review and decision in November 2011.
Participants are encouraged to provide feedback that can be made public (literally or consolidated/summarised) together with their name and affiliation/organisation.
Why does GAVI need a supply and procurement strategy and what is the scope?
The GAVI Alliance’s success in saving children’s lives and protecting people’s health requires an adequate supply of appropriate, quality vaccines at minimised cost for GAVI and countries. In order to actively influence vaccine markets to meet these objectives the GAVI Alliance needs a comprehensive strategy that recognises the differences across vaccines in terms of market maturity and competition, manufacturing complexity and the Alliance’s relative market power, as measured by revenues and volumes relative to other purchasers.
The draft document for public consultation lays out the objectives of the new supply and procurement strategy and proposes the means to achieve them. It focuses on the period defined by the GAVI Alliance’s five-year strategic plan (2011-2015). However, it is recognised that the proposed measures will have an impact beyond 2015. The strategy applies to vaccines that have been recommended or will be recommended for use in GAVI-eligible countries and does not address issues related to vaccine-related supplies (e.g. syringes, safety boxes) or in-country supply chain management.
What was the process to date to develop the current draft of the new strategy?
The strategy review process was steered by a task team, under the oversight of the Programme and Policy Committee, composed of 10 experts in the field of vaccine supply and procurement. The final recommendations of the task team were presented to the PPC in May 2011 and the feedback by PPC members has been integrated into the current draft strategy, which is now available for consultation. More information on the process can be found in the background document.
