A fragile state is a low income country characterized by weak state capacity and/or weak state legitimacy. While many countries are making progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals, a group of 35 to 50 countries is falling behind. It is estimated that out of the world s six billion people, 26% live in fragile states, but this is where one third of all people surviving on less than $1.25 per day live, half of the worldu2019s children die before the age of five, and one third of all maternal deaths occur. Not only are they falling behind, but the gap with other developing countries is widening since the 1970s. In 2006, per capita GDP grew only at 2 per cent in fragile states, whereas it reached 6 percent in other low-income countries. Projections that fragile states will constitute an even larger share of low-income countries in the future given that many better performing low-income countries graduate to middle-income status. The increasing proportion of fragile states will, without a strengthened model for dealing with them, make international engagement and development assistance less effective.
