Data Analyst – COVAX (Temporary)

We are committed to fostering a just, equitable and diverse culture free from racism and discrimination in which all staff, partners and stakeholders feel empowered, safe and heard.

BACKGROUND

Gavi is committed to securing a global response to COVID-19 that is effective and fair, using its unique expertise to help identify and rapidly accelerate development, production and delivery of COVID-19 vaccines under the principle that no one is safe unless everyone is safe.
COVAX facility introduced new business activity and risk into Gavi’s activities. In response, Gavi is using risk mitigation measures, including insurance products. These currently include: no-fault-compensation (NFC) and Sovereign Risk Arbitral Award Default insurance (‘SRI’) for a portion of COVAX self-financing-participants (‘SFPs’) with Marsh and DFC - International Development Finance Corporation. The SRI will wind down relatively quickly (estimated by Q2 2022), unless there is (1) a default and need to go through the arbitration process or (2) extension of the current model for SFPs. Additionally, Gavi is working on Vaccine Delivery Risk. While other insurance products are under consideration, that may or may not relate to COVAX. Yet the individual may be asked to provide support.
