On December 2, the Institute will organize another in our series of Breakfast Meetings. On this occasion, we will welcome Dr. Seth Berkley, CEO of GAVI, to speak on the theme, "GAVI : New Challenges for Public-Private Partnerships."

Just four years remain to the 2015 target of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the global framework aimed at eradicating both extreme poverty and its adverse effects which emerged from the 2000 adoption of the United Nations Millennium Declaration.
As three of the eight MDGs are specific global health issues, continued effort in the global health arena is essential if the 2015 targets are to be achieved. Under severe economic circumstances, and with sluggish ODA contributions from many donor countries, it is thus imperative to strengthen public-private partnerships.
The GAVI Alliance model is a public-private global partnership which works to save children's lives and protect people's health by improving access to vaccination in developing countries.
