The Conflict, Stability and Security Fund has allocated £55 million to Syria for the
current financial year. Funding for the next four financial years has not yet been
agreed by the National Security Council. The UK has delivered over £100m in non-humanitarian
support to Syria, Jordan and Lebanon since the start of the crisis from the Conflict,
Stability and Security Fund and its predecessor, the Conflict Pool. This has focussed
on strengthening the moderate opposition, building resilience against extremists,
fostering civil society structures in besieged areas, promoting Human Rights, delivering
basic governance and laying the foundations for a more peaceful and inclusive future
for Syria. Further details of this can be found on the Gov.uk website. The UK has
always punched above its weight in helping deal with the effects of the Syria crisis.
That’s why the Prime Minister announced that we will commit at least £1 billion to
reconstruction in Syria.
