g7+
While many states are underdeveloped or plagued by social unrest, fragility poses particular problems that combine underdevelopment and conflict.
g7+ members
The g7+ members are the nations and regions farthest from reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Despite international engagement through donor aid and assistance, little progress has been made in alleviating the suffering of people in these countries and regions, with:
- 54% higher prevalence of malnutrition
- 20% higher child mortality rate, and
- 18% lower primary education completion rate
compared to other developing countries and regions.
It is clear that urgent action is required. The g7+ seeks to provide a fragile state perspective on fragility in order to work with donors to improve the effectiveness of their assistance and help the membership to transition out of fragility – to say ‘goodbye to conflict and hello to development’.
