David Cameron speech at GAVI Alliance Summit

David Cameron speech at GAVI Alliance Summit; David Cameron speech SOT - But for many parents in the developing world - parents like Tabitha - it is a devastating reality. Nelson Mandela once said: "Life or death for a young child too often depends on whether it is born in a country where vaccines are available." Today we can help end that cruel lottery. And I am delighted to say that Britain will play its full part. In addition to our existing support for GAVI we will contribute 814 million pounds of new funding up to 2015. This will help vaccinate over 80 million children and save 1.4 million lives. That's one child vaccinated every two seconds for five years. One child's life saved every two minutes. That is what the money the British taxpayer is putting in will achieve. And 50 million pounds of our contribution is matched funding to incentivise further private sector donations. Now I want to put today's announcement in the context of this government's approach to tackling poverty. In the long term I know we will not help countries develop by just giving them money. At home we don't tackle poverty by state hand-outs, we help people to get into work, to stand on their own two feet and take control of their own destiny. The same should be true of development. No country has ever pulled itself out of poverty through aid alone. So this Government is taking a new approach. The same conditions create prosperity the world over. They include access to markets, property rights, private sector investment and they make up what I see as the golden thread of successful development. Ultimately it is the private sector that will be the engine for growth. That is why this government's efforts will increasingly focus on helping developing countries to achieve private-sector led growth with the jobs and opportunities it will bring. Already, Andrew Mitchell has created a new private sector department in DFID to bring private sector DNA into government, and use government know-h...
