Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps he is taking to support the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria; and what is his Department's policy on the Sustainable Development Goal targets to end the Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria epidemics by 2030.
The UK is a long-standing supporter of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the third largest historic donor. The UK has pledged £1 billion to the Global Fund's seventh replenishment (2023-2025), which will help save over 1 million lives and avert over 28 million new infections across the three diseases. The FCDO supports the Sustainable Development Goal 3.3 targets to end the epidemics of malaria, TB, and HIV by 2030 and is working to achieve these through our support to the Global Fund and other global health investments.
