unstar this property answer text <p>The UK is proud to remain the second largest international funder of the HIV response. The UK Government’s recent investment in the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria will provide anti-retroviral therapy for 1.3 million people living with HIV. The UK is also at the forefront of work to prevent further spread of AIDS, which remains a top killer of adolescents in Africa.</p><p>The STOPAIDS report highlights how DFID has responded to the changing epidemic by adapting its spend on HIV, noting also our assessment of how to maximise results by focussing on women and girls, key populations, together with the integration of HIV responses into the wider health system and broader development priorities.</p><p>We will continue to lead the way by working with civil society partners, international governments and organisations, to ensure the ambitious international commitments on HIV are met, saving even more lives and ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.</p> more like this

UK support under the Initiative includes a commitment of up to £100m to African Risk Capacity (ARC) and £15m for the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative. Of this, the UK has contributed £32m so far to ARC.</p><p>On scaling up support to weather indexed microinsurance, the UK currently provides some support to livestock insurance in Kenya to improve the product offered to pastoralists and increase the role of the private sector. The UK also provides index-based insurance through the CGIAR climate change, agriculture and food security research programme (CGIAR-CCAFS). In September 2015, the Prime Minister announced that the UK would provide at least £5.8 billion of climate finance over the next five years. This is likely to include further support for climate risk insurance.</p>
