| Summary: | Fragility, conflict and violence (FCV)
pose a major challenge for development and for reaching the
Bank Group’s twin goals. Enabling appropriate private sector
activities can be a means to break free of the fragility
trap by supporting economic growth, promoting local
employment and income earning opportunities, generating
government revenues, and delivering goods and services.
However, the private sector faces substantial constraints in
fragile and conflict-affected situations (FCS). This report
takes stock of available evidence regarding the
effectiveness of IFC’s support in FCS. It aims to inform
IFC’s strategy in FCS as IFC seeks to scale up its
activities in FCS as part of its commitments under the
Capital Increase Package, and to provide inputs for the Bank
Group’s Fragility, Conflict and Violence (FCV) strategy
currently being developed. |
