| Summary / Abstract (Note) | GLOBALLY, 1.5 BILLION PEOPLE LIVE IN COUNTRIES AFFECTED BY VIOLENT
conflict. International aid to fragile and conflict-affected states accounts for 30
percent of global official development assistance (ODA) flows. However, no
low-income fragile or conflict-affected country has yet to achieve a single
Millennium Development Goal (MDG). For the first time, a group of these
countries have joined together to discuss their shared development challenges
and advocate for better international policies to address their needs. Calling
themselves the "g7+," this group represents an important new voice in the debate over aid effectiveness and it carries high expectations. This article describes the rise of the g7+ and attempts to answer the question on everyone's
mind: Can it deliver? |
