25. Civil society organisations (CSOs) play a critical role in atrocity prevention efforts. Although we are not able to commit to producing an atrocity prevention strategy at this time, the Government is committed to working in partnership with a diverse range of CSOs and local organisations to understand best practice approaches and specific country contexts. We will continue to work closely with CSOs by, for example, building on the work currently underway on strengthening monitoring atrocity risks and learning from their valuable expertise through information and training sessions for colleagues across FCDO. Representatives from Protection Approaches, the Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide, Search for Common Ground, and other organisations have delivered learning sessions, and FCDO officials have attended roundtable events organised and attended by CSO partners.
