Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance (Gavi for short; previously the GAVI Alliance, and before that the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization) is a public–private global health partnership committed to increasing access to immunisation in poor countries.
Gavi brings together developing country and donor governments, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the World Bank, the vaccine industry in both industrialised and developing countries, research and technical agencies, civil society, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and other private philanthropists.
Gavi was launched in 2000.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has donated $1.5 billion to the alliance as of January 2013.
In 2014, Gavi rebranded itself to increase awareness of its work: it changed its name from "GAVI Alliance" and introduced a new logo. Both changes were revealed in August. Sometime between April and August 2014, Gavi acquired the gavi.org domain name and changed its primary domain from gavialliance.org to gavi.org. Gavi's press releases starting in November 2014 use "Gavi" to refer to itself rather than "GAVI Alliance".
