answer text <p>DFID is focussing its bilateral programme on reducing new HIV infection rates in southern Africa, the region hardest-hit by the epidemic. Our efforts are focused on the integration of HIV prevention and treatment services within sexual and reproductive health programmes. A particular emphasis is on the needs of women and girls and those populations most at risk.</p><br /><p>DFID is increasingly working through multilateral organisations, which can work in many more countries than the UK can reach on its own and at a much larger scale. That is why the UK made a commitment of up to a £1 billion to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) for the 2014–16 replenishment.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK has allocated over £1billion for the Syria crisis response since 2012; our largest ever response to a single humanitarian crisis. We are the second largest bilateral donor after the US. Our support has reached hundreds of thousands of people across in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt. By the end of June 2015, our support in Syria and the region had delivered over 19 million food rations, each of which feeds one person for one month; provided access to clean water for 1.6 million people; over 2.5 million medical consultations; shelter for over 416,000 people; relief items for 4.5 million people; and resulted in 7.2 million instances when people benefited from sanitation and hygiene activities.</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this
