The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and Gavi, the vaccine alliance, have announced a $1 billion (Sh129.2 billion) joint financing agreement to strengthen health systems and expand access to immunisation in Gavi-supported member countries, including Kenya.

The initiative targets low- and lower-middle-income countries with weak public health systems, where funding gaps often prevent equitable access to life-saving vaccines and services.
