The Fund for Peace, with our partner International Alert, held a global virtual event Thursday, May 20 that brought together leading experts on issues of fragility and resilience to discuss how COVID-19 has affected countries in 2020 and how they can emerge from the crisis stronger and more resilient. The event was held in conjunction with – and informed by – the launch of the 2021 Fragile States Index, a data-based policy tool that has for 16 years been a leading measure of political, social, and economic pressures of 179 countries.

 | The Fragile States Index is supported by the generous contributions of people just like you. We provide our data -- now with 15 years' worth of trend data -- free of charge. Will you consider becoming one of our supporters, to ensure that our work can continue? Your contribution to Fund for Peace goes a long way. As a small organization, we operate with minimal overhead and administration. 97% of our staff’s time is spent on designing and implementing programs that help to prevent conflict. By supporting Fund for Peace, you will be helping to support better informed and resourced responses to conflict. You will be helping to build the capacity of local communities in addressing their own challenges. And you will be helping to improve the safety and security of communities – and especially some of society’s most vulnerable people – that may face conflict and violence. Fund for Peace is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in the United States. That means your contribution may be tax-deductible. Click Here to learn more. |
