SamenvattingThis literature review looks at why donors should invest in fragile states. The authors point to the significance of aid in contributing to stabilization, peace and recovery; the cost of conflict; and the value of restoring governance and the legitimacy of state. Some authors highlight the links between aid and state building and health system reconstruction. Most health-focused literature suggests that visible and effective provision of basic services is a necessary response to the high morbidity and mortality marking conflict-affected and transitional states, but also has the potential to build the legitimacy of the state. Some authors argue that well-designed service delivery can help to build state capacity, through collaboration with NGOs and technical support and resources from donors. There is limited literature on aid flow and on the interrelationship between health sector development and aid effectiveness. Meanwhile, the importance of alignment, harmonization and aid predictability is a feature of the humanitarian reform literature. A table of fragile state definitions used by various donors is included.
