PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria: Finance (8 February 2022)

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to The Gobal Fund's Results Report 2021, what assessment she has made of the implications for her policies of the findings in that report that AIDS-related deaths have been reduced by 65 per cent in countries where The Global Fund invests and new infections have been reduced by 54 per cent since that fund was founded; and if she will significantly increase the UK’s pledge contribution for The Global Fund’s upcoming 7th Replenishment.

Asked by:
David Mundell (Conservative)

The Global Fund's Results Report 2021 shows the achievements of the Global Fund partnership as well as the challenges posed by COVID-19. Since its creation in 2002, the Global Fund partnership has saved 44 million lives and led to a reduction by 46% in deaths from HIV, TB and malaria in the countries where it invests. The UK is the second largest donor to the sixth replenishment (2020-2022). We look forward to reviewing the Global Fund's investment case for the 7th Replenishment. This investment case, which will set out the resources needed to achieve the first stage of the Global Fund's 2023-2028 strategy, will underpin the UK's future funding commitment.
