Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, of the expenditure that her Department has allocated to its HIV and Aids response, what direct spend has not been coded under HIV prevention, treatment and care; and under what sectors that expenditure has been coded, in each of the last five years.

The UK is the second largest international donor on HIV prevention, treatment, care and support. DFID has adapted spend on HIV to the changing epidemic and our assessment of how to maximise results, concentrating on key affected populations and the integration of HIV responses into the wider health system and broader development priorities.

The following bilateral expenditure for the years we have access to, relates to those programmes that have been marked under the HIV policy objective markers which are not included under HIV prevention, treatment and care input sector codes.

These programmes are coded under a variety of other sectors including broader health and systems strengthening, education, governance and social protection which also have an impact on HIV outcomes. This in addition to direct HIV bilateral spending.

DFID’s expenditure on HIV and AIDS is now primarily directed through our multilateral support. The UK made a significant £1.1billion pledge to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria.
