The Stabilisation Unit (SU) is a cross-government unit that provides expertise to build stability, prevent conflict and meet security challenges internationally. The SU was hosted on a DFID platform until September 2020, when it became part of FCDO. Stabilisation Unit staff numbers employed on a full and part time basis from 2015 to 2020 are as follows:
