  •    Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI)

  •    Australia - AusAID
  •    Denmark - Ministry of Foreign Affairs
  •    Finland - Ministry for Foreign Affairs
  •    Germany - Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ)
  •   Ireland - Irish Aid
  •   Netherlands – Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs – Development Cooperation
  •   New Zealand – NZAID
  •   Norway - Norad
  •   Spain – Spain Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation
  •   Sweden - SIDA
  •   Switzerland - Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC)
  •   UK - DFID
