Gavi Alliance

“The outsourced accountant (oa), in collaboration with the senior manager of financial reporting (smfr), gathers all information needed to prepare the federal form 990 from the respective gavi departments. Oa then prepares the draft federal form 990 and provides it to the smfr and gavi head of financial reporting, accounting and controlling (hfrac) for review. The hfrac reviews the draft federal form 990 and discusses any necessary changes with the oa and smfr. The oa then submits the draft federal form 990 to the tax firm for review and discusses any necessary updates provided by the tax firm, after which the draft federal form 990 is updated by the oa. The smfr then circulates the updated draft federal form 990 to various gavi teams for their review and comment. The draft federal form 990 is updated for comments received as deemed necessary by the hfrac. The draft federal form 990, including all required schedules, is provided to the audit and finance committee. A gavi authorized representative signs the federal form 990 after which it is filed with the internal revenue service.”

“The governance team circulates the conflict of interest disclosure forms to the board members annually. Governance monitors disclosure forms by collecting all conflict of interest disclosures from board members. The policy is monitored by the board of directors itself, and relevant conflicts are disclosed at the board of directors meetings and noted in the minutes. Declarations of interests of participating board and committee members are also shared as part of the advance material for each meeting. A board member/alternate board member or committee delegate is expected to disclose any real/perceived or potential conflict to the chair of the board or the committee, as soon as possible upon learning of it and no later than at the beginning of the discussion of the pertinent agenda item during a board/committee meeting. It is the prerogative of the chair of the meeting, in consultation with the general counsel and director of governance, to determine the scope and level of a conflicted person's participation in the discussion and the necessity of recusal from voting given the type of interest disclosed. Recusals and/or abstentions from any discussions and votes are noted in the minutes of the relevant meeting.”

“Gavi's compensation aims to attract, engage, reward and retain a team of high performing employees who are dedicated to gavi's mission. A systematic and rigorous process is set for the determination of starting salaries for staff at gavi. Key criteria for all positions include the assessment and suitability of the candidate against the role, internal equity, as well as external market competitiveness. Starting salaries are prepared by the compensation and benefits function, approved by the chief people officer, and then by the responsible senior leadership member or ceo, as the case may be. Gavi was the first international organisation to be certified as equal salary certified in 2018, after a rigorous external audit process with the equal salary foundation in switzerland. Gavi continues to be certified as an equal salary employer every year since.”

“Gavi, the vaccine alliance is a public-private partnership that helps vaccinate more than half the world's children against some of the world's deadliest diseases. The vaccine alliance brings together developing country and donor governments, the world health organization, unicef, the world bank, the vaccine industry, technical agencies, civil society, the gates foundation and other private sector partners. Since its inception in 2000, gavi has helped to immunise a whole generation over 1 billion children and prevented more than 18.8 million future deaths, helping to halve child mortality in 78 lower-income countries. Gavi also plays a key role in improving global health security by supporting health systems as well as funding global stockpiles for ebola, cholera, meningococcal and yellow fever vaccines. After two decades of progress, gavi is now focused on protecting the next generation, above all the zero-dose children who have not received even a single vaccine shot. The vaccine alliance employs innovative finance and the latest technology from drones to biometrics to save lives, prevent outbreaks before they can spread and help countries on the road to self-sufficiency.”
