Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of their pledge to the Seventh Replenishment of the Global Fund on (1) the United States' contribution, (2) the incentive for other potential donors, (3) the role and influence of the UK within the Global Fund, and (4) health outcomes.

The UK is a committed supporter of the Global Fund and is the third largest historical donor, investing over £4.4 billion to date. The UK has pledged £1 billion to the Global Fund's seventh replenishment. This pledge has unlocked a further £500 million from the US match fund. The responsibility of funding the Global Fund is shared across governments, the private sector, and private foundations; the UK will continue to encourage everyone to play their part - inspiring others with our significant commitment. The UK will continue to hold a seat on the Board and will work with other constituencies to ensure the Global Fund makes the greatest impact. The UK pledge to the Seventh Replenishment will help save over one million lives and avert over 28 million infections of the three diseases.
