Gareth Thomas, British parliamentary under-secretary of State for International Development, speaking in Johannesburg, said a significant proportion of that money would be used to fight HIV/Aids.
He said there was a very real need to focus on medium- and long term strategies to combat the epidemic.
"Our sense is that the epidemic is so serious we have to do more," he said.
"The development that took place (in developing countries) is being reversed." He added that a whole new strategy for poverty alleviation with particular reference to HIV/Aids would be announced later in the year. - Sapa
