Idea Exchange Meeting with Helen Evans (GAVI Alliance CEO), Suzuki Shigeharu (Chairman of Daiwa Securities Group), and HGPI
date : 6/3/2011
Although Febuarys Global Health Forum had a very broad theme, it was agreed that Japan will continue to confront global health issues using public funds and market mechanisms that use private funds. It was widely agreed that the significance of private funding needs to be expanded.
Since 2008, a total of 15 billion dollars in vaccine bonds was purchased by Japanese citizens, which supported many GAVI alliance activities. Arranged by Daiwa, vaccine bonds are issued by The International Finance Facility for Immunization Company (IFFIm). IFFIm raises funds in the international capital markets that are used by the GAVI Alliance to save children’s lives and protect people’s health by increasing access to immunization in developing countries.
Evans commenced the meeting by expression her gratitude to the Japanese for their cooperation with The GAVI Alliance. Japanese citizens have proven, and can continue to prove, the importance of their participation in innovative financial mechanisms like the vaccine bonds. In the future, GAVI Alliance, alongside Japanese businesses and think tanks, hopes to further validate the importance of strong cooperation.
