5 PAYING FOR VACCINES There is a funding gap across ACT-A for both 2021 and
2022 for all four pillars of work. To vaccinate just 27
percent of the population this year in 92 low- and middle-
income countries is expected to cost US$9.3 billion.
THIS YEAR, NEXT YEAR
AND BEYOND
For 2021, the outstanding funding gap across all four
ACT-A pillars amounts to US$18.5 billion . Advanced

economies must fill these gaps with grant funding
this year to complement domestic resources being
mobilized in these markets.
Alternative sources of financing via multilateral
development banks, the private sector and domestic
resources must be pursued. The G7 and G20 should
embrace a pathway towards using special drawing
rights (SDRs) to backstop increased lending to fund
pandemic response in 2022 and beyond.
Anything less will not only condemn millions in the
developing world to untimely deaths but will allow
Covid-19 variants to spread, potentially creating a
never-ending cycle of pandemic after pandemic.
