Service Delivery in Fragile Situations

This publication is based on the work that the OECD Development Assistance Committee’s (DAC) Fragile States Group (FSG) conducted on service delivery in fragile states from 2005 to 2007. It provides an understanding of the impact of state fragility on service delivery and offers policy lessons and recommendations for strengthening service provision and governance, based on examination of four strategically important sectors in the daily lives of most people, i.e. justice and security, healthcare, education and water/sanitation.
