Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much aid spending has allocated from the public purse to Unitaid in each of the last five years; and what checks her Department makes to ensure that none of the UK's contributions go from Unitaid to the Clinton Foundation.

Since its creation in 2006, Unitaid has been a major player in scaling up access to life-saving drugs and diagnostics for those most in need. It has shown us that small, catalytic investments can dramatically change the global health landscape, allowing us to treat more women and children with less money and better products. The United Kingdom is proud to be the second largest donor to Unitaid, with an investment of £188 million since 2013, including: £53 million in 2013, £40 million in 2014 and £88 million in 2017.

Unitaid does not provide any funding to the Clinton Foundation. Unitaid is also highly transparent and accountable organisation that regularly provides detailed financial and programmatic updates through the Audit and Finance Committee, Policy and Strategy Committee and Executive Board. The United Kingdom sits on all of Unitaid’s governance committees and is Vice-Chair of the Board.
