	tabling member printed	Preet Kaur Gill
	uin	127090
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2018 answer text <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> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 20/02/2018 14:08:28 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
