Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much her Department spent on bilateral HIV programmes and activities in financial years 2010-11 and 2014-15; what the estimated expenditure on HIV bilateral spending is in 2015-16; and what the planned bilateral expenditure on HIV is in 2016-17.

The UK remains the 2nd largest international donor on HIV prevention, treatment, care and support. We provide support through a variety of bilateral channels including: projects and programmes at the country level; strengthening health systems in our partner countries to respond to the HIV epidemic; and funding research. We are also increasingly working through multilateral organisations such as the Global fund and UNITAID, given their greater reach and scale. We also work across a number of other areas, such as maternal and reproductive health, education and social protection which also has an impact on HIV outcomes.

Details of DFID expenditure can be found in Statistics on International Development GPEX tables, available on the web at https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-international-development/about/statistics.
