<p>Through the Conflict Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) the UK is supporting the
UN Women-led Yemeni Women’s Pact to increase Yemeni women’s capacity to influence
the Yemeni peace processes.</p><p> </p><p>The Pact is a platform for Yemeni women
leaders to forge strategic links and alliances, develop effective coalitions with
key actors, build their capacity and raise awareness of women’s organisations. In
the coming financial year (2019/2020) we expect to provide £300,000 in support to
the Pact.</p><p> </p><p>The CSSF also supports the grassroots inclusion of women’s
voices in local peacebuilding initiatives through its Women Peace and Security programme.
This support also provides a connection between the Yemeni Women’s Pact and grassroots
women’s organisations. The CSSF will also be funding a gender advisor as well as a
senior inclusion advisor for the Special Envoys office this year.</p>
