The Global Conflict Prevention Pool (GCPP) was set up in April 2001 as a new approach to tackling conflict prevention. Together with its partner - the Africa Conflict Prevention Pool - it represented a major innovation in joined-up government. The purpose of the Pool is to bring together the resources of the Ministry of Defence, Foreign & Commonwealth Office, and the Department for International Development to enable a more strategic approach to conflict reduction. It has forged a more holistic view of how to tackle conflict and brought synergy to the Government's conflict prevention work.
