Failed and fragile states: How can the MDGs be achieved in difficult environments?

2 March 2005 13:00-14:15 (GMT+00) - Public event, London

  • Traditional aid and development mechanisms have tended not to be applicable in failed and fragile states. This is often due to the challenges exerted from weak governance, issues of political will, conflict and insecurity. This session examines whether suitable modalities can be developed for delivering the MDGs in failed and fragile states.
