Progress on the implementation of the Building Stability Overseas Strategy (BSOS)
– including through the Conflict Pool – has been reported to Parliament annually since
2011. Progress includes: the achievement of 30% of DFID spending going to fragile
states; establishment of cross-HMG strategies for priority fragile or conflict-affected
States; the implementation of a cross-HMG tool to analyse drivers of conflict; and
changes made to the Conflict Pool to reflect the challenges of spending in high-risk
environments, including multi-year funding and the introduction of a dedicated crisis
response Early Action Facility (EAF). Once the Conflict Pool comes to a close at the
end of FY14/15 the FCO, MOD and DFID will commission an external review, covering
the three-year Conflict Pool results framework. This report will be published once
completed. The BSOS will continue to be one of the key policy drivers for UK 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. As well as responding to crises, the CSSF will also ensure longer term conflict
prevention work to tackle the root causes of conflict abroad.
