Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what proportion of funds committed to the Integrated Security Fund are dedicated to funding peacebuilding and mediation support programmes.

The Integrated Security Fund (ISF) came into operation on 1 April 2024 and has a budget of almost £1bn for Financial Year 2024/25.

The Fund prioritises spending on those geographies and thematic issues that pose the greatest direct threat to the UK. Activity focussed on peacebuilding and delivering mediation support are embedded into programmes across the ISF. These are not tracked as individual or separate components. ISF programmes offer an integrated approach to addressing conflict in a comprehensive manner, such as funding security sector reform assistance, addressing insurgency through rehabilitation and reintegration programmes and supporting peace agreement processes.
