The Building Stability Overseas Strategy (BSOS) is the UK Government's first cross-departmental policy framework for preventing violent conflict overseas. This briefing argues that the BSOS provides a strong vision for the UK's conflict prevention work, which builds on the best available evidence for what works in preventing and reducing violence and fragility. The briefing provides an overview of progress so far and challenges still to be met. It also gives a wide and array of policy recommendations to carry forward the momentum of progress in order to ensure that the BSOS approach is mainstreamed across government.
