The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent assessment his Department has made of the effectiveness of UNITAID.

Answered by Anneliese Dodds

As a founding partner, the UK has been a proud supporter of UNITAID for nearly 20 years. We continue to highly value our partnership and have contributed more than half a billion pounds in funding.

We assess UNITAID to be a highly impactful partner. More than 300 million people use UNITAID-supported health products every year - and they have consistently delivered against their programmatic objectives. We welcome recent analysis from UNITAID and Cambridge Economic Policy Associates showing they deliver £46 of impact for every £1 invested.
