  • Over the past decade, Africa has seen enormous growth and transformation that has expanded opportunities and improved living conditions for millions of people. More than two-thirds of African countries have strengthened their quality of governance, improved basic services, and expanded economic opportunities.
  • Yet, there are significant risks that this momentum could be undermined by important pressures—continuing patterns of exclusion and poverty, unemployment, high migration, rapid urbanization, climate change, and poor management of natural resources—that threaten to overwhelm existing institutional capacities for managing political, economic, social, and environmental challenges.
  • These pressures are making every single African country more vulnerable. RDTS aims to place the Bank at the center of Africa's efforts to address fragility and pave the way for a more resilient and inclusive development trajectory.
  • A major part of RDTS' activities involves the identification of the main drivers of fragility, including economic, social, political, and environmental dimensions, and how the Bank's programs and projects can contribute to equity and inclusive development. Central to RDTS engagement is the systematic application of a fragility lens to identify, respond to, and prevent fragility and to build resilience and focus the Bank's engagement in the areas where it can have the biggest impact.
