World Bank Fragility Forum / Shared Societies Project

World Leadership Alliance-Club de Madrid Members, Carlos Mesa (former President of Bolivia), Danilo Türk (former President of Slovenia) and Joyce Banda (former President of Malawi) will engage with the World Bank’s  Fragility Forum to be held in Washington DC the 5th and 6th of March in the framework of the Shared Societies Project

Under the theme Managing Risks for Peace and Stability, the 2018 Fragility Forum will bring together policymakers and practitioners from humanitarian, development, peace and security communities to share practical solutions and explore innovative ways to improve development approaches to foster peace and stability.

Discussions will encompass how humanitarian, development, peace and security communities can complement and reinforce each other to tackle fragility across a broad spectrum of countries and contexts, emphasizing early action to manage risks. Helping host countries prepare and better manage refugee crises, crowding in private sector investment, and the role of women and youths will be featured prominently.
