John Barrett: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development if he will make a statement on the use of money from the Global Fund to fight (a) malaria, (b) HIV/AIDS and (c) tuberculosis. [167816] Mr. Gareth Thomas: Since its inception in January 2002, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria has approved proposals amounting to US$2.1 billion and disbursed funds to 227 programmes in 122 countries. This funding has been allocated as follows: By diseases: 60 per cent. on HIV/AIDS, 24 per cent. on Malaria and 16 per cent. on Tuberculosis. By region: 60 per cent. to Africa, 20 per cent. to Asia, Middle East and North Africa, 20 per cent. to Latin America, Caribbean and Eastern Europe. By country income: 67 per cent. to low income, 30 per cent. to lower middle income and 3 per cent. to upper middle-income countries. The following outcomes (from the first three funding rounds) are expected after five years: 700,000 people on antiretrovirals, tripling current coverage in developing countries; 35 million people reached with HIV voluntary counselling and testing services for prevention; over one million orphans supported through medical services, education and community care; over three million additional tuberculosis cases treated with Directly Observed Treatment Short-Course (DOTS) successfully after diagnosis, tripling the treatment of multi-drug resistant TB globally, with over 8,000 new treatments; 22 million combination drug treatments for resistant malaria delivered; 64 million bed nets financed to protect African families from transmission of malaria. The Fund is committed to using recipient countries' existing financial management, monitoring and reporting systems wherever possible to increase harmonisation in country-led processes. There is increasing evidence that the Fund is able to bring other donors, government departments and civil society together for joint planning to fight the world's three most devastating diseases.
