Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance is a public-private partnership committed to saving children’s lives and protecting people’s health by increasing equitable use of vaccines in lower-income countries. The Vaccine Alliance brings together implementing country and donor governments, the World Health Organisation, UNICEF, the World Bank, the vaccine industry, technical agencies, civil society, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and other private sector partners. Gavi uses innovative finance mechanisms, including co-financing by recipient countries, to secure sustainable funding and adequate supply of quality vaccines. Since 2000, Gavi has contributed to the immunisation of more than 1 billion children and the prevention of more than 17.3 million future deaths.
In June 2015, the Gavi Board established the Cold Chain Equipment Optimisation Platform (CCEOP) to strengthen country cold chain systems and to advance the Alliance’s Immunisation Supply Chain Strategy (iSC). Improvements and expansion in the cold chain are a vital building block towards delivering vaccines more equitably and to increasing vaccine coverage, while shifting towards more reliable, energy efficient, environmentally “green” / climate friendly and sustainable equipment. Improvements in cold chain are also among the most effective interventions the Alliance can make to mitigate risks to its vaccine investments of over US$ 1.5 billion per year. In addition, the CCEOP has increased favourable market conditions for cold chain equipment which, in turn, will encourage further innovation and competition in the long term. The CCEOP is increasingly focused on supporting countries to improve CCE performance monitoring (and fostering enabling technologies and systems to achieve this goal), as well as to foster critical innovations needed to deliver vaccines to the “last mile” of the supply chain.
THE ROLE
The market shaping team contributes to achieving Gavi’s mission by working to improve the health of markets for vaccines and other immunisation products. Guided by the Gavi Market Shaping Strategy (https://www.gavi.org/our-alliance/market-shaping), the team develops and coordinates implementation of evidence-based Alliance strategies to address market-based health-commodity related challenges impacting Gavi countries. This includes the objectives of ensuring adequate and secure supply of suitable and quality products, at appropriate and sustainable prices.
The key function of this role will cover a range of market shaping activities for Cold Chain Equipment (CCE), including managing CCE supplier interactions and Alliance partner working groups. Key functions and deliverables include:
