Gavi and the Asian Development Bank sign an agreement to expand health financing, support vaccine access, and strengthen health systems across 32 countries in Asia and the Pacific.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”TO BE EDITED – TEXT OF THE NEWS – BLOCK 1 – Click on the WHEEL icon to open the textarea where you can paste or type your news.

The partnership aims to support countries in expanding vaccine coverage, developing robust immunisation policies, and adapting health systems to growing climate-related and fiscal pressures.<\/p>\n With ADB boosting its lending capacity by US$100 billion and Gavi entering its most ambitious strategic period yet, the collaboration comes at a critical juncture. Gavi\u2019s new report<\/a> outlines how closer partnerships with multilateral development banks can unlock capital to build stronger, self-sustaining immunisation programmes. The alliance builds on earlier joint efforts that mobilised over US$640 million for COVID-19 vaccines, now with an eye on long-term pandemic preparedness.<\/p>\n
