Strategic Programme Fund
The Strategic Programme Fund (SPF) supports the Government’s international goals.
Our projects involve a range of stakeholders – from federal and state governments to civil society and NGOs – helping us reach out to new partners.
Since being set up in 2003 we have supported nearly 1000 projects ranging from climate change and energy, Afghan counter-narcotics and migration prograrmmes, to human rights, relations with the Islamic world and economic governance.
We are focusing our efforts on our main policy goals, which are to:
- counter terrorism, weapons proliferation and their causes
- promote a low carbon, high growth global economy
- prevent and resolve conflict; and
- develop effective international institutions, above all the UN and EU
Spending
In 2008-09, SPF expenditure managed by the FCO amounted to £98.3m
