The Fund to End Violence Against Children (EVAC Fund)
The UK Home Office recognises the moral and operational imperative to support the global fight against online child sexual exploitation (CSE). As such, the Home Office has committed £40 million towards the UNICEF hosted End Violence Against Children Fund (EVAC) to support activities intending to build international capacity to tackle online CSE. The EVAC's strategy for supporting international action aligned to the WePROTECT Global Alliance's (WPGA) strategy for national action. The WePROTECT Global Alliance combines expertise from industry, law enforcement, government and civil society to determine the capabilities required at country level to effectively respond to the threat of online CSE. Projects funded by the EVAC fund must demonstrate how they support the implementation of the WPGA's Model National Response.
Working to prevent modern slavery across boarders
The Modern Slavery Fund is the Home Office's £33.5m official development assistance (ODA) fund to support the UK's goal of reducing the prevalence of modern slavery in countries from which the UK sees a high number of victims.

The fund actively contributes to achieving the UN sustainable development goal target 8.7 which calls for "immediate and effective measures to eradicate modern slavery" by 2030. The fund forms part of a UK government commitment to spend £200m of ODA on tackling modern slavery.

The Modern Slavery Fund also includes an £11m Innovation Fund, which builds the evidence base by supporting projects taking innovative approaches to tackling modern slavery.
