Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how much private sector investment has been secured to tackle malaria as part of the Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.

The Secretary of State recently announced a UK investment of £1.1 billion over three years in the Global Fund at their replenishment conference in September. This includes a commitment to double private sector contributions for tackling malaria, up to a maximum of £200 million.

At the conference, an additional $100million (USD) of investment was raised from the private sector to specifically tackle malaria and further investment will be raised in the coming year.
