aCanada pledged Can$ 250 million for the 2013–2018 period. Canada also provided an additional Can$3 million for the 2013–2014 Horn of Africa outbreak. Contributions do not include approximately Can$28.6 million for activities in Pakistan, Nigeria, and Ukraine that lie outside the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) budget but support the overall goal of polio eradication.

bGermany also provided more than €13 million in 2013–2014 for the Middle East outbreak in addition to current disbursements under its €105 million 2013–2017 pledge.

cSince 2011, Japan has supplemented its traditional grant financing with innovative financing in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Under this loan conversion model, Japan has provided development assistance loans to Nigeria (approximately US$70 million, 2015–2016) for vaccine and operational costs. If performance criteria are met, the BMGF will repay the loan credit to the Japan International Cooperation Agency on behalf of the Nigerian government, in effect converting the loan to a grant.

dThe United Kingdom committed £300 million to polio eradication for the 2013–2018 period, comprised of “core” and “match” funds. The figures for 2016–2018 include £28 million in “match” funds as well as £27 million to Gavi for inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) procurement. The United Kingdom also provided an additional £13.8 million for the 2013–2014 Horn of Africa and Middle East outbreaks.

eUnited States figures reflect the actual amount received directly by the 2 implementing agencies, consistent with the United Nations revenue recognition policy. The fiscal year 2016 Congressional allocation is US$228 million. The 2016 figure represents disbursements to WHO and UNICEF from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and United States Agency for International Development against the GPEI’s 2016 budget to date.

fAustralia’s figures include funding received for the 2013–2015 period under 2 commitments: 2011–2015 (Aus$50 million) and 2015–2019 (Aus$36 million).

gNorway’s figures reflect all confirmed funding to Gavi (2013–2019) and funding to WHO (2013–2015).

hAbu Dhabi-Crown Prince figures include funds via the UAE Pakistan Assistance Programme.

iIn 2013, Rotary pledged up to US$175 million for the 2013–2018 period, which will be matched by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Contributions under this scheme are included in Rotary’s figures. Rotary’s contributions to the GPEI are through the Rotary Foundation.

jNigeria’s figures include domestic resources from loans from the World Bank (US$85.6 million) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency loan conversion (US$70.3 million).

kOnly includes donors who pledged funds at the Vaccine Summit. See www.polioeradication.org/financing.aspx for additional information on contributions, including those that are not against the GPEI budget (non-Financial Resource Requirement report).
