FCO and FCDO payments to it over £25,000 recorded in published departmental spending data total about £5,457,435; these figures cover all FCO/FCDO (and, after September 2020, former Department for International Development) programmes and are not limited to the CSSF.[1]
CSSF and other UK government work
A 2016 FCO expression-of-interest document for a CSSF "MENA Strategic Comms: Countering DAESH Propaganda" call-off lists The Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue among the suppliers on the CSSF Lot 2 framework. The document was published online in 2020 among files that the hacker group Anonymous said came from the FCO. (On the later 2023–27 framework, the names of Lot 2 suppliers were redacted on national-security grounds.)[2] Tussell's supplier list for the FCO's 2015 CSSF framework, which is based on the official award notice, independently records the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue as a supplier.[3] GOV.UK's list of UK programme assistance to Ukraine for 2018–19 includes a CSSF-funded HD project, Countering conflict in Ukraine through dialogue and facilitated engagement at the local, national and inter-state level (April 2017 – March 2019). It says HD "has been working in Ukraine since December 2013" on dialogue initiatives aimed at "preventing further polarisation between the conflict parties".[4] HD is also listed as an implementer of the FCDO's Conflict Resolution Programme.[5] FCO/FCDO payments to HD (recorded under several name variants) total about £5.46m between 2013 and 2022 (see below).
