Public-Private Partnerships

The Global Alliance for VaccinesThe Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) was formed to harness the strengths and experience of multiple partners in both the private and public sectors with the mission of saving children's lives and protecting people's health through the widespread use of vaccines.

GAVI's Pneumococcal Vaccines Accelerated Development and Introduction Plan (PneumoADIP) was formed to improve child survival and health by accelerating the evaluation of and access to new lifesaving pneumococcal vaccines for the world's children. Applied Strategies has worked extensively with the PneumoADIP to define and analyze strategies for ensuring a predictable supply of vaccine at an affordable and sustainable price. The primary focus of Applied Strategies' work has been the development of a demand forecasting methodology and analytical tool that enables analysts to discover solution sets that provide positive outcomes for suppliers, global donors, and target countries. These win-win-win solutions can then be vetted with each of the key constituents to determine their acceptability and to refine assumptions, as necessary.

In addition, Applied Strategies has worked with the PneumoADIP on projects concerning the:

• Appropriateness of alternative vaccine product profiles on country adoption
• Justification for continued GAVI investment in pneumococcal vaccines
• Implications of an Advance Market Commitment financing mechanism on pneumococcal vaccine introduction in developing countries
• Design and development of a PneumoADIP cost budgeting and tracking system
• Development of PneumoADIP mission driven goals and work plans

Applied Strategies also supports PneumoADIP by planning and facilitating many of its management and organization planning retreats.
