Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what was the UK’s total contribution to the Global Fund in 2017; and how the outcome of this contribution will be assessed.

The UK pledged £1.1 billion to the Global Fund over 2017-19. Of this, £200 million was to double private sector contributions for tackling malaria, and £90 million was linked to successful delivery against a demanding performance agreement. In 2017, the UK contributed £317.06 million to the Global Fund. The outcome of this contribution is assessed annually, including in terms of the number of lives saved and reduction in new HIV infections and TB and malaria cases worldwide as a result of investments by the Global Fund.
