The Bishop of St Albans asked a question on efforts to encourage initiatives for donation to the COVAX vaccination fund on 22nd February 2021:
The Lord Bishop of St Albans [V]: My Lords, approaches are developing that enable individuals to give into the COVAX fund in gratitude for having received their vaccination against Covid-19. How are Her Majesty’s Government encouraging the development of such initiatives? Will they support such approaches through match funding from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office?
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Con, FCDO): My Lords, our initial funding of the AMC was very much based on match funding. We have seen that coming through and there are valuable contributions that other key partners can make. We are working very closely with the Gates Foundation among others to ensure that support for Gavi, the AMC and, particularly, for those most vulnerable is something not just for Governments but for the private sector as well.
