Fragile and conflict-affected states experience volatile economic growth, with significant consequences for human welfare. Fragile states tend to grow in booms and busts, with little correlation with institutional quality or state capacity. Economic growth, if it is sustained and inclusive, can lead a country out of fragility.

On 9 June 2021 UNU-WIDER organized a panel discussion on the topic: How to get inclusive growth started in fragile contexts? The event will mark the launch of a new UNU-WIDER policy guidebook 'Deals and development in fragile and conflict-affected states' (published in June 2021). The guidebook is aimed at practitioners to deepen their understanding on how to incorporate political economy insights to understanding and intervening in fragile contexts.
