UK Integrated Security Fund (UKISF)
UK - UK Integrated Security Fund (UKISF)
The UK Integrated Security Fund (UKISF) replaced the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF), with a wider remit, funding projects both in the UK and internationally to tackle some of the most complex national security challenges facing the UK and its partners. The UKISF combined the CSSF with the National Cyber Programme and the Economic Deterrence Initiative (EDI). The latter tackling sanctions evasion across the UK’s trade, transport, and financial sanctions. Like the CSSF, the UKISF budget includes Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) funds and non-ODA funds.
Highlight SDAI: Successful Reintegration Trajectories of Ex-Combatants in Colombia
DEPARTMENT FOR SCIENCE, INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY
In collaboration with researchers at ARN and academics at Jorge Tadeo Lozano University, the proposed research has identified the need to better understand what constitutes a successful reincorporation trajectory contrasting inclusion and marginalisation of former combatants. The project will identify the individual socioeconomic determinants of successful reintegration as well as the spatial and institutional context in which former FARC combatants find themselves. Moreover, the reincorporation process includes the provision of seed funding for business projects, so-called "productive projects". The research also aims to better understand why some productive projects have been successful while others failed. Here too, we will consider individual and contextual factors. Apart from data held by the ARN, relevant regional and municipal level data are held by the Colombian National Planning Department, the Ministry of Defence, National Service of Employment, Ministry of Education, the Institute for Family Protection, and the Office of People Advocacy (Ombudsman Office). The research project aims to support information exchange between ARN and these relevant Colombian institutions, as well as strengthen the capacity within the ARN to analyse such nested data using spatial and network analysis techniques.
