  • The International Finance Facility for Immunisation (IFFIm) exists to rapidly accelerate the availability and predictability of funds for immunisation

    The resources raised by IFFIm are used by the GAVI Alliance, a public-private partnership, which provides funds to purchase and deliver life-saving vaccines and strengthen health services in the world's poorest countries.

    Chair Alan Gillespie, CBE, and five fellow Board members are responsible for managing IFFIm's governance and policies.

  • Melinda Gates

    "A child's access to life-saving vaccines too often depends on where he or she lives in the world. Vaccines taken for granted in rich countries still don't get to millions of children in the developing world. This is a solvable problem."

    Melinda Gates, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

  • Operations

    The World Bank serves as Treasury Manager while immunisation programmes are funded by IFFIm through the GAVI Alliance.
