AfDB - SDC Partnership on enhancing the Bank’s fragility and conflict sensitivity
Based on its Ten-year Strategy, the Bank will strengthen its engagement in fragile and conflict affected countries/situations which is also a priority in Switzerland’s development bill 2013-16. This partnership will assist the Bank in building the necessary capacities and instruments to translate fragility concepts and approaches into more effective operations on the ground. Other outcomes will be a new diagnostic tool “Country Resilience and Fragility Assessment (CRFA)” and strengthened capacities in the Bank and in 30 African countries.

Contexte |
Fragility and conflict affected or post-conflict countries are still a major impediment of economic development and poverty reduction in Africa. Research shows that cyclical state and social fragility, conflicts and/or violence can occur in any country, even those with seemingly strong and stable institutions. It is therfore essential that programs and operations in such countries are designed and implemente in a fragility and conflict-sensitive manner. |
Objectifs |
Enhanced and effective engagements by AfDB in countries and regions in fragile situations for achieving greater development outcome and building resilient societies. |
Groupes cibles |
The main beneficiaries include Bank staff and management, Regional Member Countries and their personnel (government and non-government), AfDB’s engagements / operations at country and regional level as well as Partner Organizations. |
Effets à moyen terme |
Outcome I: Improved ability to detect, assess, analyze and forecast risks and drivers of fragility and conflict through the systematic use of a new diagnostic instrument. Lessons and knowledge fed into peer-to-peer learning events and RMC policy directions. Outcome II: Mainstreamed the use of data and knowledge generated through the implementation of the new tool/s, to better inform Bank Group operations and programs in countries and regions affected by fragility, in particular, also in areas of fragility which so far were not really studied (fragility analysis at the sector or thematic level). Outcome III: Developed and improved capacities and skills in the Bank, Regional Member Countries (RMCs), local communities, and regional organizations, with particular attention to gender representation.
