State fragility is the new normal of European development policy and a major hurdle for the realisation of the 2030 Agenda. By 2030, an estimated 86% of the world’s extreme poor are projected to live in states marked by fragility, up from 75% in 2020. Already in 2020, 60% of all country allocable official development assistance (ODA) (USD 61.9 billion) disbursed by the OECD-DAC (Development Assistance Committee) went to such states (OECD, 2022, pp. 6, 20). State fragility is thus a key challenge for development policy that the European Union (EU) and other international donors have to deal with.
