Description: The Equitable Access Initiative (EAI) was launched in early 2015 by the heads of multilateral organizations engaged in global health: GAVI, the Global Fund, UNAIDS, UNDP, UNFPA, UNICEF, UNITAID, the World Bank and WHO. The purpose was to consider alternatives to GNI as a framework to assess countries’ need for external financial support for health.
Based on the analyses of the four analytical teams and the co-convenors, as well as extensive consultations, this report explores a health framework that can account for health need, income levels, and health funding considerations, which could inform different stages of decision-making by the convening organizations’ governing bodies or other bilateral and multilateral organizations involved in external financial support for health.
