Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what resources have been dedicated by the Integrated Security Fund to initiatives aimed at addressing the root causes and drivers of conflict.

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 administers a wide range of activity to tackle the root causes and drivers of conflict, however these are not tracked as separate components or activity. Activity targeting these issues are embedded into a number of areas of programming including countering transnational threats, serious and organised crime, terrorism, state threat activity and climate security. Resources also comprise advisory support including conflict advisors, gender advisors as well as monitoring and evaluation advisors based in the UK and in Programme Teams in UK Missions overseas.
