Support the Market Information for Access to Vaccines (MI4A) initiative

Client

Assess global supply, demand and price dynamics for key vaccine markets and advise on how to best address constraints to safe, effective, quality and affordable vaccines for all.

  • Focus Project
Goal
  • To support the WHO MI4A initiative to enhance access to safe, effective, quality and affordable vaccines for all.
  • To help maintain WHOs in-depth and up-to-date understanding of global vaccine markets dynamics and support them to develop policy and programmatic recommendations that account for and address existing and potential challenges to vaccine access.
Scope
MMGH supported the MI4A initiative by facilitating consultations and discussions with immunization and industry stakeholders and establishing a market intelligence monitoring system to maintain up-to-date understanding of key vaccine market dynamics. This allows WHO to understand risks and opportunities to vaccine access. MMGH also defined a framework for market analyses, developed supply and demand forecast, analysed pricing trends and assessed the health of the vaccine market. Based on the intelligence and assessment, MMGH provided WHO with expert advice on emerging market trends and risks. This was delivered in the form of briefings, reports, presentations, workshops and expert group meetings.
Result

MI4A’s advisory group endorsed nine market studies and two global vaccine market reports. These have contributed to increasing transparency of market conditions for selected vaccines, empowering countries to tailor their policy and procurement strategies, and in turn help to achieve the goal of increasing access to vaccines. The findings also assisted WHO to develop policy and programmatic recommendations that account for and address existing and potential challenges to vaccine access.
