answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2014 answer text <p>The UK is a strong supporter of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. The International Development Secretary recently confirmed the UK commitment of up to £1 billion to Gavi for 2016 to 2020, two months ahead of the pledging conference, to encourage other donors to step up and support Gavi to save over 5 million lives. I am, along with Ministerial colleagues, actively approaching Ministers in other governments to encourage them to commit further funding to ensure the full $7.5 billion is achieved.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 15/12/2014 18:01:39 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2014 answer text <p>The UK remains a strong and active supporter of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. The UK recently pledged up to £1 billion to Gavi for 2016 to 2020. The full UK contribution to Gavi will save a child’s life every two minutes. This funding will be disbursed in tranches on an annual basis. The full UK funding will be released so long as the total amount committed by donors meets Gavi’s replenishment target of $7.5 billion. Whether this threshold has been met will be assessed by DFID officials continually over the period 2016 – 2020.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 05/12/2014 14:07:09 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment has been made at the Girl Summit 2014 of the role played by the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI) in safeguarding the health of women and girls, and in addressing gender-related barriers to accessing immunisation services; and what assessment they have made of the cost-effectiveness so far of the United Kingdom’s contribution towards GAVI’s programme, agreed in the Multilateral Aid Review of March 2011.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/08/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The focus of Girl Summit 2014 was on ending female genital mutilation and child, early and forced marriage. No specific assessment was made at the Summit on the role of the GAVI Alliance in safeguarding the health of women and girls or addressing gender-related barriers to accessing immunisation services. However, GAVI is rolling-out two vaccines that will directly benefit girls and women: rubella vaccine, which protects against a disease damaging to unborn children; and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine, which helps prevent cervical cancer, one of the leading causes of death in young women in sub-Saharan Africa. GAVI will immunise over 30 million girls with HPV vaccines during 2013-2020 which will prevent over 150,000 women dying each year. GAVI is working to overcome the barriers to introducing the HPV vaccine in developing countries by reducing the high cost of the vaccine and tackling the challenges of immunising girls aged nine to thirteen years by integrating HPV immunisation with wider health interventions targeted at adolescent girls.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The UK’s support to GAVI remains a highly cost effective way to achieve childhood immunisation results at scale. The 2011 UK Multilateral Aid Review (MAR) ranked GAVI as being very good value for money. The 2013 MAR Update confirmed that GAVI is continuing to make reasonable progress. An example of this is that GAVI helped to secure a reduction in price of 35% between 2010-2012 of the three vaccines it spends the most money on.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Northover question first answered 11/08/2014 10:43:38 answering member 2539 label Biography information for Baroness Northover

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The UK is the largest donor to the GAVI Alliance with around 32% funding share during 2011-2015. We wish to see the UK's donor share reduce and other donors share increase during the GAVI Alliance's 2016-2020 strategic period. We are lobbying other donors to contribute their fair share ahead of the next replenishment pledging event in early 2015.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornsey and Wood Green answering member printed Lynne Featherstone question first answered 30/06/2014 14:50:13 answering member 1531 label Biography information for Baroness Featherstone
