Following a competitive and transparent process, Gavi engaged MotionPoint to implement a solution that enabled the translation of country applications submitted in French, Spanish and Russian into English—for review by Gavi staff and review committee members. Moreover, the organization needed to translate its replies to countries from English back to stakeholders’ languages. MotionPoint also delivered, in under 60 days, the online portal that hosts funding application forms and information in the appropriate language.

Outcome

By implementing MotionPoint’s solution, Gavi gained an efficient, cost-effective solution that scales to meet the rganization’s needs. “If the number of online applications and interactions grow, we’ll easily be able to scale translation with MotionPoint,” said Nix. “The solution enables us to process funding applications in multiple languages quickly, consistently, cost-effectively and with high quality.”Gavi’s solution also helps improve engagement with its stakeholders and their perception of the organization. “Language is a key driver of perception,” noted Nix. “One of Gavi’s core values is being country-driven; therefore, engaging online in the local language enables the organization to be responsive to countries’ needs. We’re breaking down barriers to working effectively.”

MotionPoint’s solution provides a technology foundation to support Gavi’s growth. “Implementing and managing translation in the enterprise has a cost, and it’s often underestimated,” said Nix. “MotionPoint’s technology is a key part of the value it brings to the table.”

Most important, MotionPoint helps Gavi fulfill its mission by making it easier for stakeholders to apply for vaccine funding in their own languages. Gavi is encouraging countries to apply for funding while ensuring the best possible communications with them.
