This question was answered on 12th December 2016
DFID supports HIV prevention in Uganda through the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria. With support from the Fund, Uganda has successfully reduced new HIV infections from 140,000 in 2010 to less than 100,000 in 2014. 2.5% of the Fund’s work in Uganda is channelled through faith based organisations.
