Over the last 7 years the CSSF has transformed the way the UK responds to a range of national security challenges coming from conflict, serious organised crime, and threats from both state and non-state actors overseas. It has been a catalyst for a more integrated UK government response to tackling conflict and instability. Launched in 2015, the CSSF is a cross-government fund that spent over £870 million in financial year 2021 to 2022. It is guided by the priorities set out in the 2021 Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy.

The Conflict, Stability and Security Fund ( CSSF) uses a whole-of-government approach to find creative solutions to meet the most complex national security challenges and promote international peace and stability.
