REPORT SUMMARY
As fast-growing and middle-income countries find ways to fund their own development, assistance is expected to continue to flow to the states that need it the most. Major funding sources including the European Union and United Kingdom have already prioritized investing half of their development assistance on fragile states and the approximately one and half billion people living in them.
Each year, OECD produces an extensive fragile states analysis, looking at countries with varying levels of fragility. Using the OECD list as a reference, this Devex special report identifies and assesses 10 fragile states that we believe are ready for implementer engagement. These 10 countries are emerging from conflict or crisis and face serious development challenges, but based on our analysis of the operating environment, donor funding and procurement activity, offer realistic opportunities for companies, NGOs, and other implementers willing to work in fragile contexts.
