POSITION BACKGROUND: Gavi Alliance’s (“Gavi”) mission is to save children’s lives and protect people’s health by increasing access to immunization in poor countries. Gavi’s 2021-2025 strategy (Gavi 5.0) has equity as its organizing principle, with a focus on reaching more than ten million children who do not receive a single routine dose of vaccines in Gavi-supported countries each year.
