What does #fragility look like in 2020?
These are
important trends 
The furthest behind are being left further behind. The difference in levels of fragility between extremely fragile and non-fragile contexts has widened, esp. over 2012-18.

#Poverty is concentrated in fragile contexts. Fragile contexts were home to 460 million people living in extreme poverty in 2020, or 76.5% of the worldwide total.

Progress on the majority of the #GlobalGoals has stalled. Before #COVID19, the majority of fragile contexts were on track to meet just one SDG– #SDG13 on #ClimateAction
– and progress was particularly challenged on SDG 2 (zero hunger), SDG 3 (health) & SDG 5 (gender equality).
Official development assistance is a critical resource for fragile contexts. Total bilateral #ODA in 2018 ($76 bn) amounted to 2.3 times the level of foreign direct investment and two-thirds the value of remittances.

Development Assistance Committee members spent $60.3 billion on total official development assistance to fragile contexts. Striving to protect #ODA amid the #COVID19 crisis is important to help these contexts meet short-term needs and recover better.
Fragile contexts have greater access to diverse sources of financing alongside greater risks. Fragile contexts received a total of $33.4 billion in foreign direct investment in 2018. But while some receive significant volumes of #FDI, others have had net disinvestment.
#HumanCapital is a building block of sustainable development. 
Fragile contexts are lagging on critical measures of human capital. All but one of the 47 fragile contexts on the @WorldBank’s Human Capital Index fall below the worldwide average.
