Conflict Prevention Pools

The Conflict Prevention Pools (CPPs) "were set up in 2001 to enhance the effectiveness of the UK's contribution to conflict prevention and management. They are run jointly by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO), Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Department for International Development (DfID).

"There are two Pools. The Africa Conflict Prevention Pool (ACPP) covers Sub-Saharan Africa, while the Global Conflict Prevention Pool (GCPP) covers the rest of the world. To find out more about the Africa Conflict Prevention Pool: Africa Conflict Prevention Pool (PDF, 752K)

"The GCPP's activities cover conflict prevention and management, as well as some post-conflict reconstruction. They bring together diplomacy, defence and development work, in a common strategy based on a conflict analysis shared between FCO, MOD and DFID. However there is also flexibility to respond to changing situations and new priorities.

"The GCPP budget for FY2006/07 and 2007/08 is £74M per year."
