Gavi’s Investment Opportunity 2026-2030: Vaccinating for a Healthier Future

Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, has been making a significant impact on global health over the past two decades. Between 2000 and 2020, Gavi has helped immunize more than 1 billion children in vulnerable countries, saving over 17 million lives. A child born in a Gavi-supported country is now 70% less likely to die from a vaccine-preventable disease before their fifth birthday compared to the year 2000.

As we look towards the future, Gavi has ambitious plans for the period 2026-2030. The next five years will be crucial as we face challenges such as climate change, conflict, and the looming threat of pandemics. Vaccines have never been more important, and Gavi is gearing up to vaccinate more children against more diseases at a faster pace than ever before.

Here are some key numbers that define Gavi’s investment opportunity for the next five years:

1. Gavi plans to help save 1 billion lives in the next ten years, with 500 million lives saved in the next five years alone.
2. The Alliance will work to reduce the number of ‘zero-dose’ children who never receive a single vaccine, contributing to the Immunization Agenda 2030 target of a 50% decrease.
3. Gavi will support countries in increasing vaccine coverage against childhood killers like pneumococcal, rotavirus, measles, and pentavalent, as well as introducing new vaccines for diseases like respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), tuberculosis, dengue, mpox, and Hepatitis E.
4. Countries will fund over 40% of the costs of their routine vaccines, compared to just 10% 15 years ago, showing increased ownership of national immunization programs.
5. Gavi plans to respond to 150 outbreaks over the next five years, building on its experience with COVAX during the COVID-19 pandemic.
6. The Alliance will use its market power to promote innovation from manufacturers and reduce prices across 50% of the vaccine portfolio between 2026 and 2030.
7. Immunization programs supported by Gavi have generated over US$ 220.5 billion in economic benefits since 2000, with an expected US$ 1 billion in economic benefits between 2026 and 2030.
8. Gavi will continue to integrate immunization into primary health systems, ensuring that every interaction with a vaccinator connects individuals with health services for life.
9. Gavi plans to vaccinate over 120 million girls against HPV and deliver the malaria vaccine to 50 million children over the next five years.

With these ambitious goals and plans in place, Gavi is poised to make a significant impact on global health in the coming years. By investing in vaccines and immunization programs, we can save lives, prevent diseases, and create a healthier future for all.
