Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how much bilateral expenditure was directly targeted by DFID towards HIV and AIDS in (1) 2015-16, and (2) 2016-17.

In 2015-16 DFID direct bilateral expenditure on reproductive health care, including training of personnel, was nearly £65 million. This excludes direct bilateral expenditure on family planning, which is reported separately. On HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care direct bilateral expenditure was £27m.

This data uses the specific reproductive health and HIV input sector codes set by the OECD/DAC. This does not capture spend on related programming that complements our wider work on HIV and reproductive health (for example family planning services, maternal and neo-natal health, strengthening health systems, research activities and our substantial contribution to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria).

Data for all sector codes are available on the Statistics for International Development website. Data for 2016/17 will be released early in 2018.
