From this programme, we will also fund the UK contribution to the UN force in Cyprus (UNFICYP).The overall budget for conflict prevention, stabilisation and peacekeeping was set for the comprehensive spending review period 2008-09 to 2010-11. Within this, the allocations to individual regional conflict prevention programmes are set annually after consultation between the Department for International Development, the Ministry of Defence and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The new wider Europe CPP has been allocated £33 million for 2009-10 financial year.Further details on changes to funding of projects and future activities were set out in a letter from my right hon.
