Security Assessment in North Africa (SANA) Project - Phase IV The Security Assessment in North Africa (SANA) is a multi-year project of the Small Arms Survey (SAS) that began in 2012 following the Arab uprisings and the spread of armed conflicts and civil wars in North Africa. It aims to support actors engaged in building a more secure environment in North Africa and interlinked neighbouring regions, with particular focus on the Sahel-Sahara. The project produces timely, evidence-based research and analysis on the availability and circulation of small arms, the dynamics of armed groups, the trajectories of conflicts, and related insecurity. The research aims to enhance knowledge on small arms trafficking, armed violence, armed actors, and related measures and programmes. The project’s main beneficiaries are policy-makers in both the region and the international community, practitioners, researchers, and journalists engaged in the region.  The current phase of the project—SANA IV—started in September 2021 and will conclude in August 2024.  The purpose of this narrative report, covering the period from 1 September 2021 until 31 August 2022, is to summarise and report on the activities and research outputs of the first year of SANA IV, funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Project No. 4000005126).

Resettlement Programmes The Syrian Vulnerable Peoples Scheme (SVPRS) and Vulnerable Childrens Resettlement Scheme (VCRS) are programmes designed to support the Government's aim to resettle vulnerable refugees from the Syrian conflict. The commitment to resettle 20,000 refugees from Syria by 2020 was made by the Government in September 2015. Funding enables authorities to provide refugees who have fled conflict and persecution with a safe environment and the chance to rebuild their lives. The funding pays for food, shelter and training for up to 12 months. By the end of September 2019, over 18,000 refugees had found safety in the UK to rebuild their lives as part of the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme. The Home Office is on-track to deliver the full VPRS commitment by the end of 2020.
Hunter and Chaucer capability building projects Project Hunter Chaucer has an overall aim to build international targeting in ODA countries to help deter the movement across national borders of individuals and goods, that would harm their national interests, by enhancing their border control. Project Chaucer (in West Africa only) looks to create highly-skilled multi-agency local teams capable of deterring the use of individuals and freight to smuggle drugs or other harmful commodities within developing countries by criminal gangs. Hunter/Chaucer projects and activities are based in three main geographical areas the Americas, Africa and EurAsia and have officers embedded in various locations around the world working with local law enforcement agencies and key stakeholders.
Asylum Support The Home Office Official Development Assistance (ODA) budget provides support to asylum seekers while their claims for refugee status are being processed and provide support to unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASCs). ODA funding helps pay for food, shelter, travel and training for up to 12 months for people that are unable to live in their own country for fear of persecution because of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or other factors such as sexual orientation. This is an important complement to critical humanitarian support delivered overseas.
Countering Exploitation Programme The Countering Exploitation Programme (CEP) is the Home Office’s international programme which seeks to combat modern slavery and online child sexual abuse and exploitation overseas. It newly unites the existing Modern Slavery Fund and the UK’s contribution to the Global Fund to End Violence Against Children to take a holistic approach to tackling exploitation. The CEP is comprised of two funds: 1. The UK’s contribution to the Safe Online Portfolio of the Global Fund to End Violence Against Children (EVAC), which invests in solutions, technologies, and capacities to tackle online child sexual exploitation, as part of its wider ambition to secure a future where children do not experience violence in any setting, anywhere in the world. • The Modern Slavery Fund (MSF), which seeks to reduce the prevalence of modern slavery in the UK and overseas. This includes bilateral programmes in focus countries, including Viet Nam and Albania and the Modern Slavery Innovation Fund (MSIF), which prevents and reduces vulnerability to exploitation; prevents and remedies forced labour in UK supply chains; and fills gaps in the global evidence base of ‘what works’ to combat modern slavery.
End Violence Against Children (EVAC Fund) The UK Home Office recognises the moral and operational imperative to support the global fight against online child sexual exploitation (CSE). As such, the Home Office has committed £40 million towards the UNICEF hosted End Violence Against Children Fund (EVAC) to support activities intending to build international capacity to tackle online CSE. The EVAC's strategy for supporting international action aligned to the WePROTECT Global Alliance's (WPGA) strategy for national action. The WePROTECT Global Alliance combines expertise from industry, law enforcement, government and civil society to determine the capabilities required at country level to effectively respond to the threat of online CSE. Projects funded by the EVAC fund must demonstrate how they support the implementation of the WPGA's Model National Response.
Modern Slavery Fund The Modern Slavery Fund is the Home Office’s £33.5m official development assistance (ODA) fund to support the UK’s goal of reducing the prevalence of modern slavery in countries from which the UK sees a high number of victims. This activity started in 2016/17 and will end in 2020/21. The fund actively contributes to achieving the UN sustainable development goal target 8.7 which calls for “immediate and effective measures to eradicate modern slavery” by 2030. The fund forms part of a UK government commitment to spend £200m of ODA on tackling modern slavery. As part of the Home Office Modern Slavery Fund we are investing £3m in Vietnam, £5m in Nigeria and £2m in Albania. The Modern Slavery Fund also includes an £11m Innovation Fund, which builds the evidence base by supporting projects taking innovative approaches to tackling modern slavery.

This is an ODA and non-ODA blended programme. The spend reported against this programme is the ODA element alone.
Border Force Upstream Capacity building Border Force upstream capacity building network has an overall aim to build international targeting in ODA countries to help deter the movement across national borders of individuals and goods, that would harm their national interests by enhancing their border control. Border Force upstream capacity building network (in West Africa only) looks to create highly-skilled multi-agency local teams capable of deterring the use of individuals and freight to smuggle drugs or other harmful commodities within developing countries by criminal gangs.

UK Resettlement Scheme The Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme (VPRS) and Vulnerable Children’s Resettlement Scheme (VCRS) concluded in February 2021, having seen over 22,000 refugees resettled across both schemes. Following this, the UK Resettlement Scheme (UKRS) launched reaffirming the UK’s ongoing commitment to refugee resettlement, which continues to be an important component of the UK’s humanitarian response. The UKRS is a multi-year commitment which sees the UK continue to offer a safe and legal route to vulnerable refugees in need of protection. It is accessible to refugees who have been assessed for resettlement by UNHCR against their resettlement submission categories, providing them a safe environment and the chance to rebuild their lives. The Home Office provides tariff funding for local authorities for the first 12 months for each resettled refugee support, including education and health funding, using ODA funds.
