Significance of the Policies and Examination of Context Sample Clauses

Significance of the Policies and Examination of Context. Together, Gavi’s policies create a framework (as seen in Table 2) in which Gavi can uniformly establish which countries are eligible to receive funding for their vaccine programs, what the recipient country’s financial contribution to those vaccine programs should be, and when countries can expect to transition out of Gavi support. The criteria are based solely on the economic development of a country over time with GNI per capita used as the sole indicator, and the policies do not outline ways to consider burden or need outside of these economic parameters. As a country further develops its economy, the expectation is that the country should be able to finance an increasingly larger portion of their vaccine programs until, ultimately, they are able to independently finance those programs without aid from Gavi. Since the initial first version implementation of these policies in 2011, 13 countries that have been subject to these policies have successfully transitioned to being Fully Self Financing as seen in Table 3. Gavi currently breaks its existence into four phases that describe its different strategic periods. Phase I (2000-2005)1, Phase II (2006-2010)2, Phase III (2011-2015)3, and Phase IV (2016-2020)4. Since the initial implementation of these policies, Gavi has seen fourteen countries transition to “Fully Self Financing” status. 1 Gavi Strategy Phase I 2 Gavi Strategy Phase II 3 Gavi Strategy Phase III 4 Gavi Strategy Phase III
