Sissel Hodne Steen, Chair of the Programme and Policy Committee (PPC) and Gian Gandhi, Senior Manager-Policy, Policy and Performance team presented to the Board new graduation procedures. Since GAVI’s launch, all countries with less than or equal to US$1,000 Gross National Income (GNI) per capita in 2003 have been considered eligible. The Board requested the eligibility policy be reviewed and revised during 2009. As part of the exercise, certain currently eligible countries would be expected to become ineligible and therefore, proper and fair graduation procedures would need to be established.
