The world is a global village. I employ policy makers to ensure equity and gender parity is enshrined in every legal instrument across the globe. Nepotism, authoritarianism, corruption and dictatorship is amongst several pandemic facing marginalised majority. How and what are the pragmatic measures are you employ to help vulnerable communities?

Today we will discuss our new global report which aims to show why addressing fragility and conflict is critical for meeting poverty goals. It presents new estimates of welfare in economies in fragile and conflict-affected situations, filling gaps in previous knowledge, and analyzes the multidimensional nature of poverty in these settings. It also discusses the long-term consequences of conflict and introduces a data-driven classification of countries by fragility profile, showing opportunities for tailored policy interventions and the need for monitoring different markers of fragility. Here's the report: https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/poverty/publication/fragility-conflict-on-the-front-lines-fight-against-poverty
