The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 6 February 2025 to Question 27541 on Neglected Tropical Diseases, how much financial support his Department is providing for UK research into neglected tropical diseases.
Answered by Stephen Doughty
During the last funding phase between 2017 and 2024, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office has invested £73.3 million into the Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative (DNDi), which collaborates closely with a range of UK academic and industry partners to develop medicines for Neglected Tropical Diseases. Following our last call for applications for funding Product Development Partnerships, DNDi applied successfully and has received an investment of £10 million in this financial year.
