answer text <p>The world has made remarkable recent progress in tackling malaria, with malaria deaths falling by 62% between 2000 and 2015. DFID is a leading supporter of the effort to meet the World Health Organisation (WHO) 2020 targets, including a 40% reduction in malaria cases and deaths. We are the second largest donor, contributing 16% of the global spend on malaria control and elimination, with the rest coming from other donors, governments of endemic countries, and the private sector. Funding assessments are conducted by WHO. The estimated global spend on malaria control and elimination in 2015 was US$ 2.9 billion; and the estimated need to meet the targets is US$ 6.4 billion per year by 2020.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK is leading on the international response to the food crises in Somalia and South Sudan. DFID quickly responded to the crises, announcing £100m of life-saving emergency assistance for South Sudan and £110m for Somalia. UK food assistance will directly reach 1.5 million people across the two countries. The UK Government has also provided £10m in aid-match funding to the Disasters Emergency Committee’s East Africa Crisis Appeal to encourage the public to donate. By matching public donations pound for pound, the Government is boosting the difference Britons can make. We are lobbying the international community to step up financial support, pressing for political solutions to the conflicts that are driving the crises, and helping to negotiate safe access so that urgent aid, including food, can reach those in need.</p> more like this
