Almost a quarter of the world’s population (23%) lives in #FragileStates.
To ensure #EnergyAccess and #LeaveNoOneBehind in such conditions, distributed #RenewableEnergy, and #SolarPower in particular, are the best solution.

ARGH, just tuned into #OWG broadcast. Who is this woman talking about special targets for #fragilestates?

.@dansmith2020 Next step for @OECD is some serious work on time frames. #fragilestates

.@joelhellman_WB Need to assault the narrative questioning value of aid to #fragilestates. Push back on those who say aid is not effective.

.@siafahage cites examples of #fragilestates that have succeeded in boosting domestic rev. mobilization: #Timor-Leste, #Liberia

.@marcus_manuel we have a regressive aid system. The richer you are, the more money you get per poor person. #globaldev #fragilestates

.@dansmith2020 #Fragilestates: how to reconcile risk aversion & focus on results? Start by getting the time frame right: decades, not years.

.@joelhellman_WB IDA replenishment had big shift in allocations towards #fragilestates. Need to make sure we start doing the right things.

Aid to #fragilestates is falling. Remittances are rising - but how can they be directed towards development? <a href="http://www.oecd.org/dac/incaf/resourceflowstofragilestates.htm" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">http://www.oecd.org/dac/incaf/resourceflowstofragilestates.htm

Global fertility rates falling. If a country's greatest resource is its people, what can #fragilestates offer to an aging world?

.@andypsumner For stagnant #fragilestates, might be cheaper to give all citizens EU passports than commit to 100 yrs of ODA. #povertydebate
November 18, 2024 at 11:23 AM
.@andypsumner For "booming" #fragilestates, maybe it's a question of governance of growth. #povertydebate
November 18, 2024 at 11:23 AM
.@andypsumner Current country groupings - by income and the #fragilestates lists - are past their sell-by date. #povertydebate
November 18, 2024 at 11:23 AM
.@andypsumner Half of #fragilestates are stagnant - are we prepared to give ODA for next 100 years? #povertydebate
November 18, 2024 at 11:23 AM
.@andypsumner About half of "#fragilestates" are doing well. Should we really still call them fragile? #povertydebate
November 18, 2024 at 11:23 AM
.@andypsumner Time to start thinking about two types of #fragilestates? Boomers vs long-runners. #povertydebate
November 18, 2024 at 11:23 AM
.@andypsumner Assumption that #fragilestates have done badly, stable countries have done better - not exactly borne out. #povertydebate
