Stephen Gethins – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for International Development

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Stephen Gethins on 2015-12-17.

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps her Department plans to take at the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria’s pre-replenishment meeting in Tokyo to encourage increased funding from other donors.

Mr Nick Hurd

The UK government supports calls for shared responsibility and global solidarity in the response to HIV, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

We strongly believe countries should commit according to their ability to contribute. At the pre-replenishment meeting in Tokyo the UK urged all countries to contribute their fair share to the 2017-2019 Global Fund replenishment to ensure a quicker end to AIDS, TB and Malaria.
