Abstract

Fragility is one of the major concerns for the international community to meet the global development goals. In specific, countries in fragile and conflict-affected situations become a key issue. Fragile states suffer not only from poverty and hunger, but also insecurity in human rights and social protection. In addition, the impacts of conflicts, disasters, pandemic, and terrorisms are greater in fragile and conflict-affected countries due to their vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities and fragilities affect other countries’ security and hinder the world from achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Therefore, international communities have begun to pay attention to solving fragility within countries, and have continuously expanded the volume of development aid to fragile states. However, the effectiveness of aid in fragile states has not been clearly established.
