Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance PIO Agreement (USAID Global Health (GH)):  .Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance's 2016-2020 strategy has four goals, supported by a mission to "save children's lives and protect people's health by increasing equitable use of vaccines in lower-income countries": (1) accelerate equitable uptake and coverage of vaccines; (2) increase effectiveness and efficiency of immunization delivery; (3) improve sustainability of national immunization programs; and (4) shape markets for immunization products. These goals are achieved by supporting eligible countries to introduce vaccines at a reduced, pooled price, taking on a greater share of the cost as their economies grow. Countries also receive grant support to strengthen the delivery of vaccines as part of an integrated primary health system. Gavi has demonstrated a unique comparative advantage in shaping vaccine markets by increasing demand for new and underused vaccines and working with manufacturers to meet increasing global supply needs. All of USAID's 25 Ending Preventable Child and Maternal Deaths (EPCMD) priority countries have received support from Gavi. Since 2000, Gavi has reached more than 760 million people and averted 13 million deaths in 73 countries. USAID's contribution to Gavi has been Congressionally directed since FY 2001.... .. .

Supporting Transformation by Reducing Insecurity and Vulnerability with Economic Strengthening (STRIVE) Supporting Transformation by Reducing Insecurity and Vulnerability with Economic Strengthening (STRIVE) focuses on strengthening economic security for vulnerable children. Conflict, extreme economic stress, natural disasters and the spread of diseases such as HIV/AIDS contribute to the increasing number of orphans and other vulnerable children worldwide. These children have been the focus of innumerable programs that address their health, educational, psychosocial and security needs. While many programs provide excellent noneconomic support to such children, rarely do they adequately address the issue of economic insecurity. STRIVE identifies and demonstrates effective and sustainable ways to improve the economic circumstances of vulnerable children. Managed by FHI 360, STRIVE implements field projects that use an array of economic-strengthening approaches, ranging from savings-led finance to workforce development to value chain interventions. Coupled with a robust monitoring and evaluation framework and learning strategy, STRIVE tracks and documents the impact of interventions on childrens economic (financial) and noneconomic (health, education and nutrition) well-being.
