Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to work with governments of low- and middle-income countries concerning any impact of their pledge to the Seventh Replenishment of the Global Fund.

The FCDO will combine its development and diplomatic expertise to work with partner countries to help ensure the finance provided by the Global Fund has the maximum impact; saving lives and preventing illness. The Global Fund works with many delivering partners in country and globally with organisations such as the WHO. The UK will continue to fund our Global Fund Accelerator programme that provides expert technical support, including through placing skilled health advisers in key countries in countries which the Global Fund supports to help advise governments and in-country partners on programme proposals for greatest effect.
