The Children's Vaccine Initiative, launched in 1990, and Gavi, created in 2000 as its successor.
The record calls Gavi the successor to the Children's Vaccine Initiative.
The Children's Vaccine Initiative was launched in 1990. Gavi was created in 2000 as its successor. The record links the initiative to the Rockefeller Foundation through a coordination meeting on vaccine development and surveillance data integration, through funding, and through a founding body and secretariat arrangement. The record notes that these links do not establish binding obligations, a unified command structure, the amount, duration, or terms of the funding, or operational control by the Rockefeller Foundation over the initiative.
It shows how a new group can be presented as a successor while the same behind-the-scenes arrangements carry over.
