answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2020 answer text <p>As a Member State, the UK spent approximately 10% of our Official Development Assistance (ODA) through the EU each year. Going forward we will be able to make our own decisions about where, when and how we invest that money. The UK will continue to play a leading role in tackling global development challenges in support of the national interest.</p><p>Under the Withdrawal Agreement the UK will honour its share of commitments made to the EU budget and off-budget funds during the period of our membership. For DFID, this means that we will meet our commitments to EU development programmes approved by 31 December 2020 until their closure. As these are multi-year programmes, this will result in a declining spending tail of ODA contributions that we expect to run until 2027.</p><p>Ministers will take decisions on reallocating ODA funding through normal departmental processes and DFID’s bid to the Spending Review, in line with the conclusions of the Integrated Review.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 28/02/2020 14:57:34 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2020 answer text <p>Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, provides subsidised vaccines and health and immunisation systems support to 68 of the world’s poorest countries. Immunisation is one of the most cost-effective interventions in health and a key driver of progress towards reducing child mortality.</p><p>The UK is proud to be one Gavi’s strongest supporters. We provide Gavi with multi-year commitments, which cover five-year periods. This enables Gavi to provide countries with predictable and sustainable financing, which is essential to launching long-term, lasting routine immunisation programmes in national health systems.</p><p>The UK committed £1.32 billion to Gavi between 2011-2015. The UK’s current £1.44 billion of support to Gavi between 2016-2020 has saved 1.4 million lives from vaccine-preventable diseases in 68 of the world’s poorest countries. The UK hosted pledging conference for Gavi on 3-4<sup>th</sup> June 2020, is an opportunity for the UK to use its global leadership to secure Gavi the funds it needs to immunise 300 million more children and save at least 7 million lives between 2021 and 2025.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 28/02/2020 14:56:00 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton
