<p>The British Government continues to strengthen its conflict prevention policies
and institutions so that they are fit to meet modern challenges. The Conflict, Stability,
and Security Fund (CSSF) was created in 2015 to support and deliver activity to tackle
instability and to prevent conflicts, which threaten UK interests. The fund is an
important driver of the government's Fusion Doctrine, which aims to improve the way
cross-government capability is brought together. The CSSF is an inherently political
fund which works closely with other donors, partner countries and multilateral institutions
to deliver its programmes.</p><p>DFID's cadre of 70 accredited conflict advisers are
deployed across DFID country offices overseas, DFID Headquarters in the UK, seconded
to the FCO and the Stabilisation Unit, or embedded in international institutions.
We are also working through the UK funded Women Mediators across the Commonwealth
initiative, a network of over 35 peacebuilders from Commonwealth countries, currently
engaged in conflict prevention and resolution efforts. We are working to ensure more
women are meaningfully participating in conflict prevention, and resolution, to ensure
more inclusive and sustainable peace. We will continue to look for opportunities to
enhance existing training of our staff and development of early warning mechanisms.
This includes continuing to work closely with the EU, UN, Commonwealth and other organisations
to see how we might improve our policies.</p>
