Abstract

Two billion people live in countries affected by fragility, conflict, and violence. Nearly 50 percent of the global poor are predicted to be living in fragile and conflict-affected situations by 2030 (World Bank, 2018). Though there is no undisputed definition of fragility, it generally refers to countries where the state is ineffective in providing services to citizens, lacks authority and legitimacy, and is unable to manage its population’s expectations through the political process.
