Detail

The Conflict, Security and Stability Fund (CSSF) is the successor to the UK government’s Conflict Pool and is a cross-departmental fund which aims to reduce conflict in fragile states by investing in upstream conflict prevention initiatives whilst tackling human rights issues that arise from conflict.

Projects relating to national dialogue, conflict resolution and peace-building are ongoing under the Conflict, Security and Stability Fund (CSSF).

Human rights, democracy and the rule of law are at the heart of the Government’s foreign policy.

This fund will focus on two themes;

  1. supporting freedom of expression through the media and;
  2. addressing sexual violence in conflict.

These thematic areas are priority areas for the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office and our work here in South Sudan.

As HMG we are currently working on related projects. Please ensure that proposals are sufficiently differentiated from these projects (document attached).
