Details

The Conflict Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) is a unique cross-government fund that tackles conflict, stability and security challenges overseas, which pose the greatest threat to UK national security.

Since its inception in 2015, CSSF programmes have addressed threats arising through conflict, serious and organised crime, terrorism and violent extremism in more than 85 countries and territories.  It has been a catalyst for a more integrated UK government response to fragility and conflict, including delivering our commitments under UK National Action Plan on Women, Peace & Security (WPS) 2018-2022, and the Integrated Review.

The Gender, Peace and Security (GPS) Portfolio funds innovative projects to address emerging trends. The team are seeking bids that pilot research or gender-transformative interventions that improve gender equality and secure the rights of women, girls and marginalised groups whilst reduce environmental crime and/or biodiversity loss in Fragile and Conflict-Affected State (FCAS).

We welcome bids from not-for-profit organisations whose influence can demonstrate impact.

Further details, including how to bid and the selection criteria, are in the terms of reference. These also include instructions on which documents you must provide when you bid.

Submit your bid to CSSFGender.PeaceSecurity@fcdo.gov.uk by 11:59pm GMT on 14 August 2022.
