Abstract

The inability of states to perform for the benefit of their populations has been a matter of concern for citizens and the wider community. The case of fragile states that are in crisis and lag in social and economic development has created a real sense of urgency to find constructive ways to improve the situation. In 2023, more than 100 million people are on the run from conflict and crisis (UNHCR, 2023). Armed conflict is pushing a growing minority of the global population into a deeper crisis. For example, the armed conflicts in Ethiopia and Somalia have resulted in untold suffering and hardship for millions of people. It destroyed lives and livelihoods, devastated infrastructure, and disrupted international supply chains and trade. Conflict and instability have led to limited aggregate supply and skyrocketing inflation in food and fuel prices.
