The overall ACTF is chaired by UNICEF and is organised into two sub-groups:

• The Sub-Group for Global Advocacy (SGA), chaired by UNICEF, provides communication and advocacy support to GAVI's objectives at a global level. The central aim of all work of the SGA is to build long-term commitment of client governments and donors to full immunisation. Resource mobilisation, including donations to The Vaccine Fund, and increased support to country immunisation efforts, is a key interest of the SGA. The SGA operates in close association with the GAVI Financing Task Force (FTF).
• The Country Support Sub-Group (CSS), chaired by CVP/PATH, serves and supports National Inter-Agency Coordinating Committees (ICCs) and Regional Working Groups (RWGs) in the areas of immunisation advocacy and communication. It operates in close association with the GAVI Implementation Task Force (ITF) and its sub-groups.
