<p>The Building Stability Overseas Strategy (BSOS), published by the Coalition Government
in 2011, set out a new strategic framework for cross-Government work to prevent conflict
and build stability in fragile states focussing on better early warning, rapid response,
upstream conflict prevention and working with international partners. The BSOS remains
one of the Government’s key policy frameworks for activity in fragile states including
under the new Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF), which builds on the success
of the Conflict Pool, and replaces it from Financial Year 2015/16. Priorities for
the Fund will be set by the National Security Council to ensure a strengthened cross-departmental
approach that draws on the most effective combination of defence, diplomacy, development
assistance, security and intelligence. This will include funding to ensure the UK
can respond quickly to crises. It will also ensure longer term conflict prevention
work to tackle the root causes of conflict abroad.</p>
