August 2, 2010: Fellowship/Studentship
The GAVI Alliance Secretariat is commissioning this Evaluation at the
request of the International Finance Facility for Immunisation (IFFIm)
Company Board. The objective of this Evaluation is to assess the extent
to which the IFFIm has been an effective financing mechanism to raise
money for immunisation and health systems in GAVI eligible countries.
Background and context for this consultancy
The GAVI Alliance was launched in 2000 to increase immunisation coverage
and reverse widening global disparities in access to vaccines.
Governments in donor and developing countries, UNICEF, WHO, the World
Bank, civil society, foundations, vaccine manufacturers, and research
and technical institutions work together as partners in GAVI Alliance to
achieve common goals, in recognition that only through a strong and
united effort can higher levels of support for global immunisation be
generated.
The GAVI Alliance mission is to save children’s lives and protect
people’s health by increasing access to immunisation in poor countries.
The GAVI Alliance Strategy positions GAVI’s work within the broader
context of child survival and the Millennium Development Goals. The
Alliance also makes a major contribution to meeting global goals
outlined in the WHO/UNICEF Global Immunisation Vision and Strategy
(GIVS) by supporting immunisation programmes and health systems in the
world’s poorest countries.
The GAVI Alliance’s financial resources come from governmental and
private sector contributions and innovative financing mechanisms. The
IFFIm Company (“IFFIm”), which was established in 2005, is central to
the GAVI Alliance’s resource mobilisation. Since its inaugural benchmark
issue in November 2006, it has raised $2.5 billion in the bond markets
to fund the GAVI Alliance’s programmes. IFFIm enables the combination
of two key funding characteristics that are not commonly available with
traditional international development funding mechanisms: (a) the
provision of long-range, multi-year income pledges; and (b) access to
capital markets when funding is needed for programmes.
Eight governments have to date pledged contributions of more than US$ 5
billion to the IFFIm over a course of 20 years. Each
government has committed to provide legally binding and irrevocable
scheduled grant payments to IFFIm over this period. IFFIm uses the
grant payments to pay the principal and interest on its bonds.
IFFIm converts, via the bond markets, the long-term government pledges
into more immediately available cash resources to support the GAVI
Alliance’s mission. In terms of its legal status, IFFIm is a
multilateral development institution, established as a charity
registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (UK Charity
Commission). IFFIm’s primary purpose is to provide funding for the
immunisation programmes and/or programmes of vaccine procurement of the
GAVI Alliance in 70 of the poorest countries in the world by making
grants to the GAVI Fund Affiliate (GFA), a separate charity registered
with the UK Charity Commission.
Very importantly, the GAVI Alliance and other IFFIm stakeholders are now
beginning seriously to contemplate the possibility of expanding,
extending or replicating IFFIm. This thinking is based not only on the
results of IFFIm to date, but also on the observation that a
securitisation vehicle such as IFFIm enables the simultaneous
satisfaction of two important criteria:
- The equilibration of the timing and volume of demand for and supply of funds. (The supply is determined by donors’ fiscal abilities, the demand by when vaccines are needed.)
- The ability to plan multiple years into the future.
This thinking makes it crucial to understand the lessons of experience,
so that the learning can be applied in a practical way.
Please consult the IFFIm http://www.iff-immunisation.org/index.html
and GAVI Alliance
Evaluation scope and questions
This evaluation will assess the extent to which IFFIm is an effective
and efficient instrument to attract long-term, predictable donor funds
and to frontload money to finance GAVI Alliance support for immunisation
and health systems. The evaluation will also assess the extent to which
IFFIm has contributed to enhancing GAVI’s impact on immunisation and
health.
