IDA20 Special Theme - Fragility, Conflict & Violence

Jul 19, 2026

Upload by Levi

This IDA20 special theme outlines how fragility, conflict and violence (FCV) risks are intensifying poverty and humanitarian pressure, particularly in fragile and conflict-affected situations. It connects pandemic-driven socio-economic impacts to weakened health, education and social protection systems, and highlights disproportionate effects on women and girls and vulnerable communities, including forcibly displaced populations. It presents progress under IDA19, lessons learned, and proposes policy objectives and commitments, including operationalization across other special themes, partnerships, and an FCV financing toolkit with an FCV envelope, WHR, and the IDA Private Sector Window.
