Global Vaccine Action Plan Secretariat Annual Report 2016

The Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) is a framework adopted by all the World Health Organization (WHO) Member States at the Sixty-fifth World Health Assembly in May 2012 to achieve the vision of the Decade of Vaccines (DoV) 2011–2020 of “a world in which all individuals and communities enjoy lives free from vaccine-preventable diseases”. The GVAP’s mission is to “improve health by extending by 2020 and beyond the full benefits of immunization to all people, regardless of where they are born, who they are, or where they live”.

The GVAP has articulated five goals and six strategic objectives to achieve this mission, as shown in Table 1. The Sixty-fifth World Health Assembly requested the WHO Director-General to monitor progress and report annually, using an accountability framework, in order to guide immunization discussions and future actions. In response, the DoV partners developed a Monitoring & Evaluation/Accountability (M&E/A) Framework that identifies specific indicators to measure progress for each goal and strategic objective. The DoV partners also agreed to a process for an annual independent review of progress.

This report, prepared by the Secretariat for the Decade of Vaccines Global Vaccine Action Plan, serves as the basis for the independent review. As was the case in previous years, this report reviews progress against each of the indicators in the GVAP Monitoring and Evaluation/ Accountability Framework. In addition it contains a narrative report on trends in vaccine prices, short updates on tracking resources and commitments to immunization, and independent voluntary submissions from various partners on the activities they conducted under the GVAP umbrella.
