§ Clare ShortMy Department has made the following contributions to UNAIDS:
648W
- 1995–96—£1 million.
- 1996–97—£3.5 million.
- 1997–98—£2.3 million.
- 1998–99—£2.75 million.
- 1999–2000—£3 million.
- 2000–01—£3 million.
We have also in this period provided funding to other international agencies with significant HIV/AIDS programmes, including the United Nations Population Fund, the United Nations Development Programme, UNICEF, the EC, and the World Bank. However, it is not possible to determine the portion of our contributions used for HIV/AIDS work as opposed to other work of these agencies.
The details requested about aid given to state agencies, NGOs and other bodies is not held centrally and to provide it in the form requested would be at disproportionate cost to my Department.
