Deep Dive 2.2 Cross-sector services in fragile settings: crisis, collaboration, and results

Tun Razak Lecture Theatre

Stability and social cohesion are the foundations of improved social outcomes. It is therefore little surprise that populations affected by violence and displacement often have weak services and poor outcomes. While aid to fragile and conflict-affected states has increased, the success of development spending in these contexts remains questionable.
