Fragile and conflict-affected settings account for a growing share of global poverty. Roughly 2 billion people live in these areas, accounting for 25% of the world’s population but 72% of the world’s extreme poor.

On June 10, join IFPRI & @UNUWIDER to explore how fragile economies struggle to sustain growth, create jobs, & recover from repeated shocks.
