1 GAVI s Financing for Pneumococcal Vaccines, including the Advance Market Commitment Tania Cernuschi Third Regional Pneumococcal Symposium, Istanbul, 13th - 14th February

2 The GAVI Alliance Public-private partnership bringing together all the major stakeholders in immunization GAVI s mission is to save children s lives and protect people s health by increasing access to immunization in poor countries. Our work is positioned within the broader context of Child Survival and Millennium Development Goal 4 for which Target 5 is to Reduce by two thirds the mortality rate among children under five by 2015.

3 GAVI Partners 3

4 Strategic Goals 1. Strengthening the capacity of the health system to deliver immunisation and other health services in a sustainable manner 2. Accelerate the uptake and use of underused and new vaccines and associated technologies and improve vaccine supply security 3. Increase the predictability and sustainability of long-term financing for national immunisation programmes 4. Increase the added value of GAVI as a public-private global health partnership through efficiency, advocacy and innovation

5 Support for Vaccine Introduction Support to countries Support to partners and global initiatives Special projects GAVI Work plan New Vaccine Support (NVS) Immunisation Services Support (ISS) Injection Safety (INS) Health Systems Strengthening (HSS) Civil Society Organizations (CSO) ADIPs / Hib Initiative

6 Innovative Funding The International Finance Facility for Immunization - IFFIm Co-financing (Poorest, Intermediate, Least Poor, Fragile) Advance Market Commitment - AMC 6

7 GAVI s Co-financing Groupings Category Definition Mutually exclusive groupings Poorest Intermediate Least poor Post conflict / fragile 2005 GNI under $1000/capita & Classified by the UN as least developed country (LDCs) 2005 GNI under $1000/capita & Not classified by the UN as least developed country 2005 GNI over $1000/Capita* GAVI eligible country meeting post conflict / countries in crisis criteria (independent of GNI/capita) * Eligible GAVI countries which had a GNI under $1000 in 2003, and have gone above in 2005

8 GAVI s Co-financing Levels Poorest Group Intermediate Group Least Poor (starting level) ** Fragile Group First Vaccine $0.20 $0.30 $0.30 $0.10 Second Vaccine $0.15 $0.15 $0.15 $0.15 Third vaccine $0.15 $0.15 $0.15 $0.15 These policies will be evaluated in 2009 and revised in 2010 ** The «group of the least poor» will be requested to increase payment 15% annually

9 AMC Concept A financial commitment by donors, to subsidize vaccine purchase at a set price, if it meets specified criteria (TPP) and is in demand by GAVI-eligible countries. Vaccines not yet developed. Additional to current package of solutions pull mechanism. 9

10 Challenges to introduction of vaccines in developing countries Vaccine formulations for developing countries - O1: development Vaccine supply may not be available at the time of demand - O2: availability Sustainable, affordable pricing - O3: uptake Disease burden, vaccine efficacy data Systems constraints for delivery 10

11 Two-Stage AMC Price Curve Price 14 Guaranteed first stage price (AMC price) In return, firms obliged to sell at lower long run price (tail price) AMC Funds Quantity (& time) 11

12 How does an AMC Help? Source: GAVI Assurances of a future price (purchasing power) as incentive for more timely investment by industry. Predictability for countries: predictability of long term price; guarantee future financing before funds are needed to purchase doses. Only use funds if there are results: vaccine developed. 12

13 AMC Timeline Publication of Making Market for Vaccines 2005 G7: launch of consultation process on pilot AMC 2005 Launch of the Pilot AMC: 1.5 billion US$ Feb 2007 Econ Expert Final Report March 2008 IAC First Meeting 25 March 2008 Signature of Final T&C, Donors, Stakeholders' & Offer Agreements May/June 2008 Disease Expert Committee: recommendation on pilot Feb 2006 GAVI and World Bank preparing AMC Pilot implementation, with support from different expert committees Economic Expert Group defines AMC structure Refininement of Legal Agreements Consultations with different stakeholders TPP approved by DG of WHO - Dec 2007 IAC members selected by panel of public health leaders M&E Study UNICEF agrees to act as procurement agent Nov

14 PneumoADIP 2003: Accellerated Development and Introduction Plan: Addressed demand uncertainty Addressed supply issues Addressed funding issues Virtuous circle November 2006: Approved funding of investment cases for accellerating pneumococcal vaccine introduction Background work crucial for AMC design 14

15 Financing for Prevnar Available now to all GAVI eligible countries Guyana, Nicaragua and Honduras have applied and been approved introduce Prevnar in 2008 Yemen and Kenya received conditional approval The vaccines will be funded through the NVS window and will require country co-financing The 2008 deadlines for country applications are Feb 8, May 2, and Sept 25
