UK spending on bilateral and multilateral assistance categorised as malaria control is published as part of “Data underlying Statistics on International Development” (SID). UK Official Development Assistance spend on Malaria research is not specifically coded within SID. Accounting for support to multilateral organizations, bilateral malaria control programmes, health systems strengthening, and research, DFID’s estimates of total UK Government malaria spend is £499m for 2016/17.

DFID is currently the second largest global funder of the effort against malaria and expects to remain a leading global donor in the future.
