The Government of Germany will co-host a leader-level meeting aimed at helping raise at least US$ 5.2 billion in urgent financial support for COVAX, including US$ 3.8 billion in donor funding for lower-income countries supported by the Gavi COVAX Advance Market Commitment (Gavi COVAX AMC).
The virtual event – “2022 Gavi COVAX Advance Market Commitment (Gavi COVAX AMC) Summit: Break COVID Now” – will be co-chaired by Svenja Schulze, German Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development, and José Manuel Barroso, Gavi Board Chair.
In 2022, COVAX will be focused on building on the foundation in place, serving as an adaptable and flexible mechanism to support lower-income countries’ national COVID-19 vaccine objectives, and contributing to the global effort to break COVID.
