Executive Summary This report presents the analysis of financing indicators included in the WHO-UNICEF Joint Reporting Form (JRF) for the period 2008-2010 together with overview of the past decade. The four financing indicators are the following: Availability of a specific line item in the national budget for purchase of vaccines used in routine immunization. Availability of specific line item in the national budget for purchase of injection supplies (such as syringes, needles and safety boxes) used in routine immunization. Percentage of expenditure for routine immunization financed using government funds. Percentage of expenditure for vaccines financed using government funds. Two new questions about total expenditure (in absolute values, from all resources) on vaccines used in routine immunization and total expenditure (in absolute values, from all resources) on routine immunization were added in the JRF template 2010 with the aim of improving the reliability of the financing indicators. JRF 2010 financing data were cross-checked with time series and, for GAVI eligible countries, with cmyp data to fill missing data and/or correct inconsistencies. The majority of countries, 174 out of 193 (90%), reported a specific line item in their national budgets for purchasing vaccines in 2010. One hundred and fifty-one countries (or 78%) also reported specific budget line item for purchasing supplies. The percentage 1 of government funding routine immunization decreased in the last three years, from 83% to 79%; low-income countries and GAVI eligible countries report decreasing proportions of government financing: low income countries from 36% to 29% and GAVI eligible countries from 71% to 67% in the years 2008-2010. The percentage of government funding vaccine expenditure shows also a declining trend, from 83% in 2008 to 77 % in 2010 despite the general increase of government vaccine expenditure in absolute values. In particular, low-income countries reported decreased proportions of government financing of vaccines from 36% in 2008 to 19% in 2010 and GAVI eligible countries from 72% to 63%. These trends could be the result of new vaccine introduction and campaigns supported by higher proportions of donors' funding. WHO regions show variations in the reported indicators. For instance, African and South East Asian regions reported marked declining proportions of government financing routine immunization; Europe and Americas reported some decreases; whereas Eastern Mediterranean Western Pacific regions reported increasing proportions of government financing of routine immunization. 1 Population weighted averages (pwa). 3

1. Introduction Since 1998, the WHO-UNICEF Joint Reporting Form (JRF) mechanism has been collecting data on immunization financing as part of a set of immunization indicators designed to measure immunization coverage and system performance in WHO Member States. Periodically, WHO carries out worldwide analyses of the JRF financing indicators which are accessible through the WHO Immunization Financing website 2. This is the fifth report; the previous analyses were carried out for the periods: 2007-2009 2000-2008 2000-2006 1998-2004 This report presents the analysis for the period 2008-2010 together with overview of the past decade of four financing indicators included in the JRF, namely: 1. Availability of a specific line item in the national budget for purchase of vaccines used in routine immunization. 2. Availability of specific line item in the national budget for purchase of injection supplies (such as syringes, needles and safety boxes) used in routine immunization. 3. Percentage of expenditure for routine immunization financed using government funds. 4. Percentage of expenditure for vaccines financed using government funds. 2. Data and methodology The JRF template includes a section with the following questions on immunization financing: 1. Are there line items in the national government budget specifically for the purchase of vaccines used in routine immunizations? (Yes/No) 2. Are there line items in the national government budget specifically for the purchase of injection supplies (such as syringes, needles, and safety boxes) for routine immunizations? (Yes/No) 3. What amount of government funds was spent on vaccines used in routine immunization? 4. What is the total expenditure (from all sources) on vaccines used in routine immunization? 2 http://www.who.int/immunization_financing/analysis/en/ 4

5. If total amounts are not available for the previous questions please provide an estimated percentage of total expenditure on vaccines financed by government funds 6. What amount of government funds was spent on routine immunization? 7. What is the total expenditure (from all sources) on routine immunization? 8. If total amounts are not available for the previous question, please provide an estimated percentage of total expenditure on routine immunization financed by government funds. The questions about "total expenditure (from all resources) on vaccines used in routine immunization" and "total expenditure (from all resources) on routine immunization" were added in the JRF template 2010 with the aim of improving the reliability of the financing indicators. Previously the JRF template requested only the estimated percentages of government funding of vaccines and routine immunization. By adding the two new indicators (in absolute values) it is now possible to calculate the percentages and crosscheck absolute values with other sources, such as comprehensive Multi-Year Plans (cmyps). All data reported annually by countries in the Joint Reporting Form are stored in the JRF database, accessible through the WHO Immunization surveillance, assessment and monitoring website 3. The subset of financing indicators has been retrieved and cross-checked against data from previous years for potential missing values and inconsistencies. The response rates to the above questions for the year 2010 were the following: 78-80% of countries reported on the questions related to the existence of line items in the national budget and 69-81% of countries reported on the questions related to routine immunization and vaccine expenditures, respectively. That means missing data for 38-42 countries about the existence of line items in the national budget and missing data for 37-59 countries about immunization and vaccine expenditures. Some inconsistencies were also identified, in particular in the questions related to routine immunization and vaccine expenditures. There were wrong currencies stated, some typing errors and, in some GAVI eligible countries, amounts not aligned with data reported in their cmyps. To the extent possible, attempts have been made to recover missing values and/or correct obviously inconsistent data based on the information collected since 2000 in order to increase the pool of countries for the overall analysis. The missing data for the qualitative budget line item indicators in 2010 were assessed based on the trends observed over the period 2000-2009. If, for a given year, a country 3 http://www.who.int/immunization_monitoring/en/globalsummary/indicatorselect.cfm 5

had not reported the data, but had done so for other years, uniformly reporting either Yes or No, the observed trend was taken as sufficient ground for imputing missing values so as to continue the trend 4 Missing data for the indicators measuring the percentage of government funding in vaccines and immunization expenditures was more difficult to impute than categorical qualitative data. Traditionally, the level of reporting the indicator is lower than for qualitative categorical indicators. The methods used for computing the indicators of percentages of government financing vaccines and routine immunization are as follows: 1) The reported data "estimated percentage of total expenditure on vaccines financed by government funds" and "estimated percentage of total expenditure on routine immunization financed by government funds" have been considered first. 2) If the above reported data were not available for a given country, the indicator was calculated by dividing the amount of government financing for vaccines (or for routine immunization) by the total expenditure from all sources for vaccines (or for routine immunization). Inconsistencies between currencies reported in the numerator and in the denominator (reported on USD or local currency) were also checked and converted in USD by using the annual average exchange rate in 2010 available on World Bank database 5. 3) If total amounts (both numerator and denominator) were not available for a given country, the observed time series was used to fill the missing values. i) for upper middle and high income countries, it was judged acceptable to assume continuation of achieved trend (usually high percentage of government participation); ii) for countries in other income groups such an approach was deemed inappropriate, since many lower income countries that reported these indicators showed a decrease in the percentage of governmental participation from 2007 to 2009. 4) For GAVI-eligible countries, data from countries Comprehensive Multiyear Plans (cmyp) costing and financing tool were also used as additional source to cross-check and to fill missing data. Findings are presented in the following sections as aggregates and compared across WHO regions. Detailed country data are reported in the Annexes together with summaries for each WHO region and for GAVI eligible countries. 4 For instance, if a country reported "Yes" in 2008 and in 2010, but there was no reporting in 2009, the missing value was entered as "Yes". An important supposition made is that once a country makes the transition from not having a line item in the national budget for the purchasing of vaccines (reporting "no") to having one (reporting "yes"), it was assumed that the country would continue to have this budget line in subsequent years. Thus if the last reported answer for a country was "yes", the missing values for subsequent years would be imputed as "yes". 5 http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/pa.nus.fcrf: Official exchange rate (LCU per US$, period average). 6

3. Findings 3.1 Line item in the national budget for purchasing vaccines used in routine immunization In 2010 the majority of countries, 174 out of 193 (90%) reported a specific line item in their national budgets for purchasing vaccines. There has been a further increase, in particular in the number of GAVI eligible countries that reported a budget line item for vaccines from 61 (85%) in 2008 to 65 (90%) in 2009 and 2010. From 2008 to 2010 Eastern Mediterranean region, Europe, South East Asia and Western Pacific regions reported each two additional countries with a line item of national budget. Africa region kept constant, 41 countries, whereas the Americas reported a decrease of one country from 2009 to 2010. Figure 1: Number of countries in each region with line item in the national budget for purchasing vaccines used in routine immunization(2000-2010) 200 180 160 140 Number of countries 120 100 80 WPR SEAR EUR EMR AMR AFR 60 40 20 0 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 7

Africa, South East Asia and Western Pacific regions reported increase in the number of countries with budget line for injection supplies from 2008 to 2010. The other regions remain constant or with a slight decline. The number of GAVI eligible countries with a line budget for supplies increased from 54 (75%) in 2008 to 60 (83%) in 2010.

Figures 3-12 use only simple averages. 10

The African region is still dependent on external sources for funding about half of its routine immunization costs, and Americas and European regions appear the most selfsufficient, reporting percentages of costs financed by the government between 91-95% (pwa) and 95-96% (avg) in the period 2008-2010. Low income countries reported the lowest percentage of government funding of routine immunization, from 36% in 2008 to 29% in 2010 (avg) showing a steady decreased over the three past years. GAVI eligible countries report decreasing proportions of government financing from 51% in 2008 to 48% in 2009 and 2010 (avg); from 71% in 2008 to 67% in 2010 (pwa) Figure 3: Percentage of expenditure on routine immunization financed by government (2001-2010) 120% 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% AFR AMR EMR EUR SEAR WPR 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 11

In the last three years, 2008-2010, the trend of percentage of government funding vaccine costs shows a decline, from 77% to 73% (avg) and from 80% to 74% (pwa). This could be the result of new vaccine introduction and campaigns supported by higher proportions of donors' funding. 12

The regional analyses show some differences. The African region reports decreasing percentages of government funding from 52% to 40% (avg) over the period of 2008 to 2010. Western Pacific region 7 reports a decline from 73% in 2008 to 66% (avg) in 2010. Low income countries reported the lowest percentages of government funding for vaccine costs, from 27% in 2008 to 18% in 2010 (avg) confirming their dependence on external funding. GAVI eligible countries reported decreased proportions of government financing over the last three years, from 47% in 2008-2009 to 38% (avg) in 2010. However, 41 GAVI eligible countries reported that government financing vaccine costs increased in absolute values, whereas 18 countries reported a decline also in absolute values 8.

National budget line for purchasing vaccines and shares of government funding vaccine expenditure JRF indicators showed an increasing number of countries that have a line item in their national budgets for the purchase of vaccines and a slight increase in the percentage of government funding the expenditures of vaccine used for routine immunization over the past 11 years. 14

Figure 5shows the 11 year trends of the two indicators for 1) countries with national budget line item for the purchase of vaccines since 2000 2) countries without national budget line and 3) countries which introduced the budget line during the period 2000-2010. The graph shows that the 152 countries that had a line item in their national budgets for the purchase of vaccines since 2000 have had an average percentage of vaccine expenditures financed by national governments between 79% and 83% (avg); while those 13 countries reporting no budget line item for the purchase of vaccines averaged between 43% and 51% (avg), with a declining trend in 2006-2009. Furthermore, 20 countries that introduced the budget line during this period reported increasing the percentage of government funding from 32% to 44% and a decline to 40% (avg) in 2010. These findings show that the budget line item for vaccines could contribute to increase government funding, but it is not sufficient to reach sustained levels.

5. Analysis by WHO regions In the following sections summary analyses of each WHO region are presented. In particular, regional JRF financing indicators are presented for the years 2008-2010. Detailed country information is reported in Annex 1. 5.1 African Region In the African region 41 and out of 46 countries have been reporting line items in national budgets for vaccine over the last three years, while the number of countries with line item of supplies increased from 37 to 39. The proportion of government funding routine immunization decreased from 53% in 2008 to 49% in 2009 and increased in 2010 to 52%. The proportion of government funding vaccines increased from 52% in 2008 to 54% in 2009 and decreased in 2010 to 40%. This latter decline could be the result of more a precise reporting mechanism (the two new questions on total expenditure added in the JRF template 2010) and the result of higher donors' funding introduction of new vaccines and immunization campaigns.

Proportions of government funding for routine immunization and vaccines are high, 91% and 92% in 2010, respectively (96% as population weighted). Despite a slight decrease in the last two years, these data confirm that majority of countries in America region are still largely self-sufficient in term of vaccines and routine immunization financing.

6. Analysis by GAVI eligible countries The majority of GAVI eligible countries had introduced line items in their national budgets by 2010: 65 out of 72 countries (or 90%) have introduced budget line item for purchasing vaccines and 60 countries (or 83%) have introduced budget line item for purchasing immunization supplies. Both government funding for routine immunization and vaccines decreased as percentages over the period 2008-2010, from 51% to 48% (from 71% to 67% as population weighted averages) and from 47% to 37% (from 72% to 63% as population weighted averages), respectively. As mentioned above, the decline could be the result of more precise data reported and/or the result of higher donors' funding introduction of new vaccines and campaigns. Forty one countries reported increasing absolute values of government financing vaccine costs in the last three years whereas 18 countries reported a decline also in absolute values.

Conclusions The analysis shows the importance of the WHO-UNICEF joint reporting mechanism to monitor worldwide trends among regions and countries on key immunization financing indicators for decision making. Despite some problems of missing and inconsistent data, the analysis captures important developments: more and more countries (up to 90% of countries in 2010) are introducing line items in their national budgets for purchasing vaccines. This is evidence of priority given to immunization around the world and result of advocacy initiatives carried out at global and country levels. Governments are financing on average 77% (79% population weighted) of routine immunization expenditures and 73% (77% population weighted) of vaccine expenditure. However there are variations among regions and, in particular, low income countries report low government financing levels. Declining trends of percentages of government financing in the recent years in low income and GAVI eligible countries could be the result of higher donor's funding the introduction of new vaccines and campaigns. These trends will require close monitoring and further analysis. Efforts continue to be made to improve the quality of data by providing detailed instructions and definitions in the reporting template, by including indicators expressed in absolute values (instead of simple percentages) and by providing regular feedback to WHO regional and country offices on the findings. It is also expected that countries using 24

the cmyp tools will gradually harmonize the estimates used in the planning process and those reported through the JRF system. 25
