SDC Fragility, conflicts, violence and human rights violations: these are among the main challenges to poverty reduction. Fragility within a state is characterised by the government’s inability to provide security and basic public services. A constructive and reciprocal relationship between the government and the citizens is also lacking.
CSPPS This study examines the Ebola crises, its impacts and priorities for recovery and future crisis prevention from a peacebuilding lens. It brings recommendations to all members of the International Dialogue for priority integration of civil society views into national and regional recovery and crisis prevention strategies.

OECD The Principles for Good International Engagement in Fragile States and Situations – or Fragile States Principles (FSPs) – were developed and endorsed in 2007 by OECD ministers as a set of guidelines for actors involved in development co-operation, peacebuilding, statebuilding and security in fragile and conflict-affected states. In particular, the FSPs sought to help translate the principles of aid effectiveness – as per the Paris Declaration of 2005 – into contexts of fragility and conflict and help to foster constructive donor engagement where governance is weak and politics volatile.

The Lancet Global Health In The Lancet Global Health, Nadia Akseer and colleagues1 document the fairly positive maternal and child health outcomes achieved in Afghanistan over the course of a little over a decade. The publication of the Article is timely because the global health community is grappling with the lessons learned from the Millennium Development Goal period and also with the outcomes of several Ebola-related reviews.2 A message common to many of these reviews is that, unless we find ways to build functional health systems in fragile and failed states, it will be harder to make further progress on key global goals, such as the reduction of maternal and child mortality, as well as to protect the world from new infectious disease outbreaks.
