<p>DFID’s work on addressing the underlying drivers of fragility, conflict and instability
in fragile and conflict affected states (FCAS) is vital. This is why the UK is pursuing
a strong and co-ordinated global response to COVID-19, particularly for the most vulnerable
countries. DFID is taking steps to ensure that both our immediate responses to COVID-19
and long-term recovery efforts do not exacerbate conflict and instead help to build
peace and improve governance, especially in FCAS.</p><p>DFID has consistently spent
at least 50% of its Official Development Assistance in fragile and conflict affected
states from 2015 to 2017. Figures for 2018 will be published in due course.</p>
