Annex A. Snapshots of fragility by dimension

Abstract

The following snapshots highlight key attributes and trends of fragility within each dimension in the OECD fragility framework. They begin by providing a global snapshot of the average extremely and other fragile contexts across all indicators of that dimension. Then, they highlight regional and sub regional performance based on the (population-weighted) average score of all developing contexts within a region or sub region. They conclude by profiling a particular indicator, trend, or relationship within that dimension. These snapshots demonstrate the potential of the fragility framework to inform policy and practice across different geographic areas and thematic issues.
