South Sudan Peacebuilding Programme (SSPP)
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
The South Sudan Peacebuilding Programme (SSPP) will be a central tool for delivering the UK’s peace and stability objectives in South Sudan. The programme will: 1) Build the capabilities of communities, including women, in conflict hotspots to manage, reduce, and prevent violent conflict in increasingly inclusive ways; 2) Deploy technical experts to the peace agreement and ceasefire monitoring mechanisms to strengthen their capabilities to spur regional action to implement the peace agreement; and 3) Produce bespoke, demand-driven conflict and political economy analysis to inform UK policy and programming in South Sudan, including by strengthening conflict sensitivity.
Transforming Access to Climate Finance
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
To transform how developing countries access climate finance, in turn supporting implementation of more ambitious and integrated climate action. The programme will offer governments access to faster and more efficient funding to deliver their national climate & development plans. For example, donor climate finance will be coordinated and mobilised to deliver a national strategy (like the UK’s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution); the strengthening of a specific sector (e.g. improving the resilience of the water sector); or delivering a package of policy actions (e.g. for a clean energy transition). This moves away from project-based finance towards the implementation of economy and sector-wide strategies. This ensures that public climate finance responds to country need, minimises duplication and offers a coherent approach. It will encourage confidence to pursue higher climate ambition enabling them to recover faster and deliver climate action at scale.
