NDLI: Aid, risk and state fragility

Content Provider	OECD iLibrary

Abstract	This chapter sets the scene by outlining what is meant by risk and risk management in the context of fragile and transitional settings. A new risk framework is presented, based on three categories: contextual, programmatic and institutional risk. The authors define key terms, such as " fragile", "transitional", "risk" and "risk management". They suggest that these definitions should be adopted by all DAC donors to allow for a more integrated analysis of risk and opportunity. The chapter also outlines the range of international principles for donor engagement, some of which are contradictory when applied to work in fragile and transitional contexts. It explores some of these dilemmas, and concludes by emphasising that short-term, ad hoc, incoherent and poorly co-ordinated national and international interventions will not be successful. Several donors are now advocating more holistic and joined up approaches to working in these settings, and their approaches are briefly described.
