DCAF – Geneva Centre for Security Sector Governance is a contractor to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) under the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF). It is a named supplier on Lot 1 of the CSSF Framework Agreement 2023–27.[1] FCO and FCDO payments to it over £25,000 recorded in published departmental spending data total about £5,495,130; these figures cover all FCO/FCDO (and, after September 2020, former Department for International Development) programmes and are not limited to the CSSF.[2]

CSSF/ISF and other UK government work

DCAF describes an FCDO-supported project, Good Governance in Cybersecurity in the Western Balkans, covering Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia. It includes a "Young Faces" programme for emerging civil-society leaders.[3] The Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI) reviewed the CSSF’s aid spending in March 2018, giving it an amber-red score and finding it responsive to National Security Council priorities but with weak results management and limited evidence of value for money.[4]
