star this property answer text <p><br>The tri-departmental Conflict Pool in its current form was created in 2010. The Conflict Pool is managed on a regional programme basis. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has funded projects in all of the Conflict Pool's five regional programmes: in Afghanistan; in Africa where activity has included work in Nigeria, Somalia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Kenya; in the Middle East and North Africa including projects in Syria, Libya, Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories; in South Asia where activity has mostly been in Pakistan; and activity through the Wider Europe programme in the Western Balkans, the Caucasus and Central Asia. Activity in all these programmes includes regional, cross-border and multilateral projects as well as country-specific activity. The FCO also funds activity through the Strengthening Alliances and Partnerships Programme (SAP) supporting international organisations, including the UN and international NGOs, to prevent conflict.</p><p>It is therefore not possible to break down spend fully on a country basis. The FCO's spend by programme from FY2009/10 to FY 2013/14 is detailed below:</p><p>Africa <br>2009/10 £11,513,293 <br>2010/11 £10,148,734 <br>2011/12 £23,928,463 <br>2012/13 £22,648,917 <br>2013/14 £24,575,287</p><p>Afghanistan <br>2009/10 £65,015,660 <br>2010/11 £72,260,986 <br>2011/12 £67,391,371 <br>2012/13 £48,274,454 <br>2013/14 £35,123,462</p><p>MENA <br>2009/10 £13,086,773 <br>2010/11 £8,219,371 <br>2011/12 £15,390,246 <br>2012/13 £17,286,896 <br>2013/14 £44,656,803</p><p>South Asia <br>2009/10 £5,162,725 <br>2010/11 £6,886,111 <br>2011/12 £10,048,078 <br>2012/13 £13,382,327 <br>2013/14 £15,238,714</p><p>SAP <br>2009/10 £1,795,450 <br>2010/11 £1,879,215 <br>2011/12 £1,314,659 <br>2012/13 £3,043,310 <br>2013/14 £3,004,862</p><p>Wider Europe <br>2009/10 £22,606,731 <br>2010/11 £9,201,708 <br>2011/12 £8,024,044 <br>2012/13 £11,034,924 <br>2013/14 £15,001,854</p>

UN Security Council Resolution 2155 of 27 May 2014, which renewed UNMISS's mandate (and which the UK fully supported) demonstrates that, including through requiring UNMISS troops to conduct regular patrols to safeguard the security of communities within high risk areas. It also provides for civilian expertise to support and complement the work of the military troops and formed police units in monitoring and investigating human rights abuses</p> more like this
