Written Question
Developing Countries: Malaria
Monday 16th January 2017

Asked by: Nadhim Zahawi (Conservative - Stratford-on-Avon)

Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what assessment her Department has made of the effect of its January 2016 pledge to spend up to £500 million a year on tackling malaria.

Answered by Lord Wharton of Yarm

UK support contributed to a halving of global malaria death rates since 2000. DFID continues to be a global leader in malaria control. UK aid is saving lives around the world, including through our support to the Global Fund (our replenishment commitment will fund 40 million bednets), UNITAID (to increase access to new diagnostics and medicines), research to accelerate the development of drugs, diagnostics and insecticides, and helping countries scale up their own national malaria control programmes.
