Peace Asked by: Drew Hendry (Scottish National Party - Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey) Tuesday 4th April 2023 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps he is taking to help ensure that his Department's (a) defence, (b) diplomatic and (c) development policies help to promote peace in other countries. Answered by Leo Docherty The 2021 Integrated Review established the UK's approach to using our defence, diplomatic and development levers to address global challenges, including conflict, with the International Development Strategy outlining how we will tackle the root causes of conflict. The FCDO has established the Office for Conflict, Stabilisation and Mediation (OCSM) which works across government to increase the UK's impact in preventing, managing and resolving conflict. Both the Foreign Secretary and Minister for International Development sit on the National Security Council which ensures coordination across our development, foreign policy and security architecture, including on efforts to promote peace in other countries.
Armed Conflict Asked by: Drew Hendry (Scottish National Party - Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey) Tuesday 4th April 2023 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department has taken recent steps to provide (a) long-term and (b) flexible funding for programmes to help tackle the causes of conflicts in fragile and conflict-affected states. Answered by Leo Docherty The Spending Review 2021 provided a three-year settlement of £2.65 billion to the cross-government Conflict Stability and Security Fund (CSSF). Launched in 2015 it operates in over 80 countries and territories, delivering more than 90 programmes and combines Official Development Assistance (ODA) and other, non-ODA funding sources and integrates activity of a number of British government departments, including the FCDO. The Fund is managed by the Cabinet Office and yearly allocations are signed off by the National Security Council. The 'Integrated Review Refresh 2023: Responding to a More contested and Volatile World' sets out how the UK will meet that challenge head-on. The new Integrated Security Fund (UKISF) will expand upon the existing CSSF. It will have a wider remit, funding projects both at home and overseas to tackle some of the most complex national security challenges facing the UK and its partners. With additional funding from other programming, the Fund will have a budget of almost £1 billion and will continue to spend UK aid money in line with Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee rules and guidance.

Answered by Leo Docherty Fragile and Conflict Affected States are central in the International Development Strategy (IDS), which aims to tackle the causes of crises and build the long-term foundations for lasting development. We cannot end extreme poverty in low- and middle-income countries without tackling conflict and fragility. Official Development Assistance (ODA) allocations are being directed towards the strategic priorities of the IDS. The World Bank publishes an annual list of Fragile and Conflict Affected Situations. Eight of the top 10 country recipients of UK bilateral ODA in 2021 are on the World Bank list.

Official Development Assistance (ODA) is one element of how we deliver impact, but it is the combination of development, diplomacy and policy levers, in line with the principles in the 2021 Integrated Review, that has enabled the UK to maintain its effectiveness in peacebuilding, conflict prevention and resolution. FCDO ODA allocations have been guided by the priorities set out in the International Development Strategy, the aims of which include tackling the causes of crises and building the long-term foundations for lasting development.

Further, the FCDO has committed, in our March 2023 International Women and Girls Strategy, that 80 per cent of all the FCDO's bilateral aid programmes will have a focus on gender equality by 2030. FCDO Official Development Assistance allocations are guided by the priorities set out in the International Development Strategy, the aims of which include empowering and protecting women and girls.
