Vaccines for Development

نویسنده

چکیده

Five innovative policy measures are being implemented to address these challenges: performance-based grants, a global vaccine purchasing fund, the new International Finance Facility for Immunization (IFFIm), public-private product development partnerships (PDPs) for development of new products, and advance market commitments (AMCs) to create incentives to develop and manufacture new vaccines. These policies have evolved separately, but together constitute a broadly consistent package of measures benefiting from the institutional umbrella of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization. This brief looks at the underlying problems and assesses the policy response. It suggests that the approaches adopted for vaccines may usefully be extended to other areas of development assistance.
