Finding: The UK’s VNR included the commitment to hosting an international pledging conference in mid-2020 with the purpose of raising funds for life-saving vaccinations for some of the world’s most impoverished children by supporting vaccination efforts by the Global Vaccine Alliance (GAVI).
Issue: Institutional Setup
Finding: The UK Government’s Department for International Development led the coordination of the Voluntary National Review, working closely with the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the UK’s national statistical agency.
