<p>The crisis in the Central African Republic (CAR) has highlighted the importance
of the cross-government approach set out in the Building Stability Overseas Strategy
(BSOS), including rapid response, upstream prevention, and working in partnership
with others in the international system. BSOS remains a core strategy for HMG's work
in fragile and conflict-affected states.</p><p>In alignment with this, the UK continues
to support international efforts to restore peace and security to CAR, some of which
is funded by the Conflict Pool's Early Action Facility, which was created to support
BSOS. We have provided logistical support to the French Operation Sangaris and £2m
in non-lethal support to the African-led International Support Mission to the CAR
(MISCA). The UK has committed £23m in humanitarian support to CAR since July 2013,
funding a range of NGOs and UN agencies to provide access to protection, food, water,
shelter, health and sanitation.</p><p> </p>
