</p><p>*WHO operates on a biennium financing cycle. Figures above are based on WHO
biennium years (16-17 and 18-19).</p><p>Contributions are split into two separate
years in response to this PQ. For example, UK total core contribution to the WHO biennium
of 2016 - end 2017 was approx. £57.07m but has been divided in two (£28.54m) to show
our approximate contribution for 2016 and 2017.</p><p> </p><p><strong>UK core contribution</strong>
also includes UK <strong>assessed contributions</strong> in years 16/17, 17/18 and
18/19.<strong>Assessed contributions</strong> are contributions that must be paid
by Member states to retain membership of WHO and participation in its governance.
Contributions are assessed each biennium based on each member state’s relative wealth
and GDP. These contributions constitute, by their nature, core funding.</p><p> </p><p>The
<strong>UK non-core contribution</strong> is comprised of a number of programmes across
DFID, Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) including Public Health England
(PHE). Focus areas include support to Polio Eradication amongst other health areas.</p>
