<p>The work of the CSSF is subject to regular independent review, including by external
bodies such as the Independent Commission for Aid Impact and the Joint Committee on
National Security Strategy. Programmes are required to be both conflict and gender
sensitive at a design stage to ensure that they are focused on achieving National
Security Council objectives and do not inadvertently reinforce the drivers of social
exclusion. Where analysis suggests it would be appropriate, we work with specific
groups such as religious minorities. For example, in Sri Lanka the CSSF has supported
inter-ethnic and inter-faith dialogues in the Eastern part of the country, through
the establishment of District Inter-Religious Committees. In Iraq the CSSF is working
with local government to deliver community action plans, including social cohesion
and conflict mitigation activities. Further information on CSSF programmes is available
via the published Programme Summaries, Annual Review summaries and our Annual Report
on GOV.UK.</p>
