This annual report covers the activity of the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) during financial year 2022 to 2023. It describes progress towards 4 UK government priority areas:
- conflict and stability
- state threats
- transnational threats
- women, peace and security
The report highlights the clear and impactful results that CSSF programmes are achieving in these priority areas, including how the CSSF:
- supported Ukraine’s resilience against Russian-led aggressive hybrid tactics
- enabled more than 32,000 gender-based violence (GBV) survivors and people at risk of GBV to access services in Ukraine
- increased significantly the detection and seizure of illicit drugs along the main trafficking routes to the UK
- reduced grand corruption and illicit finance in the Western Balkans and Latin America
- brought about a significant drop in the sales of blank firearms in Turkey and a decrease in imports of blank firearms into the UK
- undercut Daesh propaganda through communications that reached 40 million people across the Middle East leading to a tangible reduction in support for Daesh
- strengthened international partner cyber security capabilities and resilience to cyber threats
- responded swiftly to the Turkey-Syria earthquake, providing funding for shelter and other basic needs and urban search and rescue
- supported over 600 women in conflict-prone areas in the Philippines to participate in peace processes and local governance; improving gender equality and decreasing risk of future conflict
