Written Question
Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria
Thursday 19th May 2022

Asked by: Steve Brine (Conservative - Winchester)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps the Government is taking in their engagement with the G7, G20 and Commonwealth to help ensure the Global Fund To Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria reaches its target of at least $18 billion in their seventh replenishment in 2022.

Answered by Amanda Milling

The UK has a long-standing partnership with the Global Fund, investing £4.1 billion to date. We are the second largest donor of the 6th replenishment. The Global Fund remains an essential partner for the UK in the fight against HIV, TB and malaria. We will continue to work and engage with our allies in the G7, G20, and the Commonwealth to encourage support of the Global Fund's 7th replenishment and to strengthen health systems. We have been supporting the German G7 Presidency to ensure a sustained G7 commitment to the Global Fund and are working with the Indonesian G20 Presidency to support its focus on TB financing which includes a successful Global Fund replenishment.

Asked by: Steve Brine (Conservative - Winchester)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent assessment she has made of the effectiveness of her Department's programmes to reduce the global incidence of HIV and AIDS; and what plans she has for the future of those programmes.

Answered by Amanda Milling

The UK remains committed to addressing HIV and AIDS through our overseas development programming. This currently includes our funding of £1.4 billion to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, and funding for UNAIDS and the Robert Carr Fund. Future funding, beyond our current commitments, will be determined as part of departmental business planning following on from the departmental allocations announced in last year's Spending Review. It will also be guided by the approaches set out in the Health Systems Strengthening Position Paper and the Ending Preventable Deaths of Mothers, Babies and Children Approach Paper published on the 14th December 2021.
