<p>The UK does not have a direct role in staffing the Regional Operations Centre Khartoum
(ROCK) project. Between February 2017 and March 2019 the UK funded directly one technical
consultant to support the ROCK to reach its initial operating capacity. The UK contributes
around 15% of the EU Trust Fund as a standard assessed contribution. That in turn,
funds the ROCK, and we are part of the project’s Management Board, which will continue
to scrutinise the ROCK’s operations. However, due to recent events in Sudan, EU funded
work on the ROCK is suspended.</p>
