<p>The FCO and DFID support Egypt through the Arab Partnership Economic Facility (APEF),
which is funded and managed by DFID, the Arab Partnership Participation Fund (APPF),
which is co-funded by the FCO and DFID and is managed by the FCO, and the tri-departmental
(FCO, DFID, MoD) Conflict Pool. We estimate that since 2011 approximately £17m has
been spent in Egypt through regional programmes funded by the APEF; due to the regional
nature of this funding we are not able to further disaggregate the amounts spent.
A small amount of APEF funding has been spent by the Embassy on local-level economic
projects, as follows: £129,538 in 2012-2013; £784,801 in 2013-14; and £629,000 in
2014-2015. All APEF funds for 2014/15 have now been allocated.</p><p>Through the Arab
Partnership Participation Fund (APPF), £1.5m was provided in financial year 2012-2013;
£1.3m in 2013-14; and £1.3m has been allocated for 2014-15.</p><p>Through the tri-departmental
(FCO, DFID, MOD) Conflict Pool (CP) £264,386 was provided in 2012-13; £458,370 in
2013-2014; and approximately £2m is allocated for 2014/15.</p><p>We are not currently
able to provide projected amounts for 2015/16. From 2015/16 onwards, the Conflict
Pool will be replaced by the Conflict Stability and Security Fund (CSSF), which will
have a global budget of £1billion. CSSF allocations by country and according to government
department will be finalised in early 2015. FCO and DFID funding for the Arab Partnership
for 2015/16 has not yet been agreed.</p><p> </p>
