2009 marks the endpoint
of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) Strategic
Plan (2004-2008). It is characterised by the continuation of the
intensified polio eradication effort, clinical trials on new eradication
tools (eg bivalent oral polio vaccine), assessments of new strategic
approaches for endemic areas, additional activities to limit
international spread of wild poliovirus, and - most importantly - a
major independent evaluation of the intensified polio eradication effort
at its 24-month mark.
As these activities
will have major implications for the finalization of a new Strategic
Plan (see
Framework for the new Strategic Plan developed in late 2008), 2009
constitutes a 'bridge' year, during which the GPEI's one-year Programme
of Work will be used to guide the work of the GPEI partnership and
provide a reporting platform for stakeholders. The new Strategic Plan,
requested by the World Health Assembly in May 2008, will be fully
aligned with the findings of the 2009 Programme of Work, with
publication in January 2010.
Implementation of all
activities in the Programme of Work 2009 and Strategic Plan will require
the international development community to rapidly make available the
necessary financial resources. The Financial Resource Requirements
2009-2013 summarizes the funding needed to interrupt wild poliovirus
transmission globally and prepare for the post-eradication era.
The activities outlined
in the 2009 Programme of Work are costed at US$ 785 million, part of a
two-year US$ 1.43 billion budget. For 2009-2010, the GPEI faces a global
funding gap of US$ 345 million (US$ 100 million of which is needed in
2009). The full five-year budget is summarized in the Financial
Resource Requirements 2009-2013 section of the 2009 Programme of Work,
as well as in the below links.
Note: to reflect
evolving programme needs and additional contributions, the FRR is
regularly updated.
