<p>The UK Government has enjoyed a successful partnership with the Global Fund to
date. As the third largest donor for the replenishment period 2014-16, the UK’s investment
will improve the lives of millions of people – helping to save approximately 580,000
lives through the prevention of 8.4m malaria, HIV and TB infections.</p><p>Earlier
this year, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and I committed that the UK would spend
£500 million a year battling malaria. The UK’s contribution to the replenishment of
the Global Fund will play an important role in meeting the commitment.</p><p>The UK
wishes to see a successful replenishment; the final decision on a UK contribution
is yet to be made and will depend on a multitude of factors, including the outcome
of DFID’s Multilateral Aid Review to be published later in the summer, and I look
forward to discussing it with the Chancellor.</p>
