Poliomyelitis
Tuesday 4th November 2014

Asked by: Baroness Manzoor (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how they are working with civil society, other donor governments, the European Union and polio-affected countries to support the global eradication of polio.

Answered by Baroness Northover

The Department for International Development (DFID) has committed £300m for 2013-2019 to support polio eradication efforts led by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI). GPEI is co-funded by a broad range of public and private donors including the European Union. It works with polio-affected countries and implementing partners, including civil society groups such as Rotary International, to eradicate polio. The Secretary of State for International Development has also engaged closely with Rotary International on its work on polio eradication and was presented with Rotary’s Polio Eradication Champion award in November last year.
