Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much funding the Government plans to provide to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, in each year from 2021 to 2025.

Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance’s work is critical to the delivery of the UK’s objective to end preventable deaths, having helped save 13 million lives since its inception in 2000, and has a crucial role to play in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The UK remains deeply committed to supporting this work, including through the provision of significant funding to Gavi and hosting the Gavi replenishment at the Global Vaccine Summit 2020 on 4 June. The level of funding for Gavi’s next strategic period is currently being considered.
