world’s poor live in fragile or conflict-affected states
Fragility, conflict, and violence (FCV) is a critical development challenge that threatens efforts to end extreme poverty, affecting both low- and middle-income countries. By 2030, up to two-thirds of the world’s extreme poor will live in FCV settings. Conflicts also drive 80% of all humanitarian needs and reduce gross domestic product (GDP) growth by two percentage points per year, on average.
