Security and Stabilisation Programme
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
OCSM’s Security and Stabilisation Department will increase the UK’s effectiveness in preventing or reducing conflict through a) the application of stabilisation principles and b) applying security sector reform (SSR) best practice. This includes developing a UK unique selling point (“USP”) on state reconstruction and acting as a convening power for HMG on all aspects of SSR policy and practice, including disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) and defection. The Programme will deliver a facet of the UK’s conflict prevention, management, and resolution agenda, as set out in the Integrated Review to reduce the frequency and intensity of conflict and instability, to alleviate suffering, and minimise the opportunities for state and non-state actors to undermine international security. The SSD incorporates two important areas of the conflict agenda where we can bring significant added value for HMG and internationally: Stabilisation, and Security Sector Reform.

Tackling Illicit Finance Globally TIFiG
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
Illicit financial flows IFFs cross multiple borders and are inherently secret. There is therefore currently limited understanding of illicit flows globally or how to tackle them. Yet illicit finance is an issue of rapidly increasing interest and concern to the UK. This two year programme of up to £4.5 million initiates delivery of DFID’s new ambition on illicit finance by building the understanding of the harm IFFs cause to poor people in developing countries, the nature, drivers and interconnectedness of these flows; and our ability to tackle them effectively. It includes delivery of the National Security Adviser’s commitment for DFID to provide £2m in FY 2019 2020 to the National Economic Crime Centre NECC.
