An Advance Market Commitment for AIDS Vaccines: Accelerating the Response From Industry (Policy Research Working Paper)

Abstract

Advance Market Commitments (AMCs), innovative financing mechanisms designed to motivate greater private sector investment in new vaccines, were endorsed by the G8 heads of state in July 2005. In this report, IAVI applies the general AMC framework to the case of AIDS, proposing specific terms for an AIDS vaccine AMC, obtaining feedback from officials from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, and estimating the social benefits of an AMC.
