Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps the Government is taking in their engagement with the G7, G20 and Commonwealth to help ensure the Global Fund To Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria reaches its target of at least $18 billion in their seventh replenishment in 2022.

The UK has a long-standing partnership with the Global Fund, investing £4.1 billion to date. We are the second largest donor of the 6th replenishment. The Global Fund remains an essential partner for the UK in the fight against HIV, TB and malaria. We will continue to work and engage with our allies in the G7, G20, and the Commonwealth to encourage support of the Global Fund's 7th replenishment and to strengthen health systems. We have been supporting the German G7 Presidency to ensure a sustained G7 commitment to the Global Fund and are working with the Indonesian G20 Presidency to support its focus on TB financing which includes a successful Global Fund replenishment.
