Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, if the Government will make it its policy to continue their contribution to the Global Financing Facility for Every Woman and Child (GFF) at the GFF replenishment conference in November.

At last year’s Family Planning Summit in London, we announced £30m over 3 years to enable the Global Financing Facility (GFF) to pilot innovative financing mechanisms. This funding is still ongoing to 2020 and will increase domestic and private sector resources for sexual and reproductive health and rights. Decisions about potential future support will be taken in due course.
