Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how much funding the Government has contributed to the GAVI Matching Fund to tackle TB and Malaria since the fund's launch in 2013; and what information his Department holds on the dates that programme was operating.

The UK pledged £50 million to the Gavi Matching Fund 2011-2015. £38 million of this commitment was utilised matching private contributions £1 for £1 in support of Gavi's core mission to immunise children against vaccine-preventable diseases. The UK have also committed up to £25 million to Gavi's current Matching Fund, which makes up part of our £1.65 billion commitment to Gavi between 2021 - 2025. The UK's main investments in malaria and tuberculosis are through the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (the 'Global Fund'). UK leadership helped establish the Global Fund in 2002. Our 2019 commitment included a £200 million 'Malaria Match Fund' which has been delivered in full.
