Fragility & Crisis Situations

Moderated by Haliciu Mihaela

Not a single low-income fragile or conflict-affected country has yet achieved a single MDG. The EU is increasingly addressing, through its development cooperation, the challenges posed by fragility and crisis. This trend is reflected not only in terms of very substantial funding, but also in the focus of recent EU development policies, such as Agenda for Change, and in the approaches adopted to match the specific needs of fragile partner countries and keep state-building as a central element.

30 groups and 27 articles on Fragility & Crisis Situations. 1291 capacity4dev.eu members interested in Fragility & Crisis Situations.
