"Ethical research has to mean more than documenting what is wrong. It means understanding how your framing will land, who will bear its weight, whether the people affected had any hand in shaping it."

State & non-state actors, esp in Africa & Middle East, are analysing the sources of risk & resilience that shape fragility – not as challenges to address but as situations to leverage & exploit. (Source: OECD, State of Fragility Report, 2025)

“The Taliban has banned women from studying medicine…It has shut down Afghanistan's last programme training community midwives.. The result is measurable...”

A pale blue coloured background with the HSG logo, a large speech bubble and the words “Did you know… Fragile contexts, and their health systems, are highly susceptible to shocks and stressors.”
In our era of polycrisis, these shocks and stressors include political unrest, conflict and violence, economic and social crises, natural disasters and climate change.
