Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what was the total amount of funding directly targeting HIV and AIDS under codes (1) 13041, and (2) 13042, of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Development Assistance Committee in the financial years (a) 2020, and (b) 2021.

Details of UK Government Official Development Assistance spending broken down by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) codes are published in Statistics on International Development. Funding directly targeting HIV and AIDS under OECD code 13040 was £9 million for calendar year 2020 and £6 million for 2021. 13040 is the official OECD code for both 13041 and 13042 and no further breakdowns are available. These codes were defined and solely used by the former Department for International Development. They did not exist in the former Foreign and Commonwealth Office data on spending and would not provide a complete picture for the FCDO. The OECD code does not cover the UK's multilateral contributions and therefore does not present a full picture of UK support to combatting HIV and AIDS, for example the UK contributed £476 million in 2020 and £380 million in 2021 to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, of which around 50 per cent went towards HIV and AIDS, and £15 million and £2.5 million towards UNAIDS.
