Halfway there - Delivering on the promise of immunisation for all


At the midpoint of the 2011–2015 strategy of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI), Halfway There serves as a progress and accountability check on GAVI and its partners. the report evaluates performance and identifies weaknesses where efforts must be improved.
It focuses on the following areas:
  • financing for immunisation
  • progress in reducing the price of vaccines
  • vaccine rollouts
  • support for countries to strengthen their health systems
    and promote broader and more equitable coverage
    of immunisation
  • GAVI’s governance
In conclusion, this report makes recommendations to GAVI, donors, countries receiving GAVI support, the private sector and civil society organisations. the aim is to help accelerate progress towards our shared goal – that all children enjoy the full benefits of immunisation
