Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment she has made of the (a) implications for her policies of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria's 2017 - 2022 strategy and (b) extent of alignment between the Global Fund's strategy and the UK Government's planned international development and Global Health strategies.

The UK is the second largest donor to the sixth replenishment of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria with our pledge of up to £1.4 billion supporting the implementation of their 2017-2022 strategy.

We are grateful to the Global Fund for submitting evidence to our public Call for Evidence, which will help inform the upcoming UK International Development Strategy. The launch of this strategy in Spring 2022 and the publication of the Global Funds new investment case in the coming months will underpin the UK's contribution to the next replenishment of the Global Fund.
