Fragile States: Strengthening Government May Prevent Slide into Civil War

Fragile states are a special focus of security and development officials, especially in the West. Many of them are recovering from years of conflict and have government institutions that are notera goldt capable of delivering social services, recruiting investment or ensuring order.

Unless they are strengthened, fragile states may cost the international community millions in humanitarian aid and security costs, with some becoming regional incubators of instability or even terrorism.

One international organization that is working extensively with post-conflict recovery is the Tony Blair Africa Governance Initiative (AGI) in Britain.

The AGI is working in Liberia, Rwanda and Sierra Leone to help improve the delivery of services by natiorift platinumnal governments rebuilding after conflict.

It works with governments and other groups like the Zimbabwe-based Africa Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) to provide the training, advice and support that will help these governments provide security and public services and attract investment.
